which products actually work, what products to use or my skin concerns, what i can realistically expect from each skincare product
To find effective anti-ageing
- without irritating skin (peels, retinol.... can be too strong)
- without causing breakouts and oiliness, for a skin with a lifelong struggle against (adult) acne.
I do not know how to get rid of my acne, skin congestion. Unsure if it’s acne or maybe milia. I am likely using too many actives. I pick at my skin.
Does it work?
Knowing which products can and can’t be used together because of ingredient conflict. For example, I thought peptides shouldn’t be used with vitamin c because they cancel each other out, but then I see products that contain both. It also really limits which products you can use because a sunscreen might sneak in some lactic acid but then you can’t use a vitamin c with it.
What to use and when, finding things that won’t inflame my skin.
Order of use day and night

It's hard to know what products to use, and reviews can be divisive.
