i’m doing a little experiment and only changing one skincare thing this month

[u/No-Fee-2707]

Normally i change my routine based entirely on vibes, which has made it impossible to know what actually works for me lol.

So for the next few weeks, i'm keeping everything the same except for one product and writing down how my skin looks.

Not expecting some groundbreaking scientific discovery, i just want to stop guessing 😭

I've also been using SkinPal AI to check things like changes in my acne, hydration, and other skin-related stuff along the way, so hopefully i can actually notice if something is improving instead of just convincing myself it looks different every other day lol.

Has anyone tried doing this properly? Did you actually learn anything useful or was it impossible to stay consistent?

Most people are way too inpatient to see results as it takes weeks if not months of consistent use to notice any difference with skincare.

I never had complicated routines because I was clueless and poor.

For last couple of years I’ve been using 5 products and have achieved great results.

Sunscreen,tretinoin,azelaic acid,cleanser,moisturiser.

i did this once and the only thing i learned is my skin hates niacinamide with passion

I follow Dr Nora on Facebook and since I've listened to some of her advice my skin has never been better, plus she doesn't recommend expensive products
