Skincare routines with:
The INKEY List CA Oat Cleansing Balm
AM - Everyday
Use every day, as many times as needed. For most people, it's best to use a moisturizer twice per day. In the morning, apply it before your sunscreen (or skip the moisturizer in the morning if your sunscreen feels hydrating enough). In the evening, a moisturizer is usually the last step of a routine.
PM - Everyday
Use a generous amount of product to remove all dirt, sunscreen or makeup in one step. There is no need to double-cleanse. It is a good idea to always finish cleansing with a splash of clean water to remove any residue from the cleanser. Most people only need to cleanse their skin with a cleanser once per day, at night. It is the first step of a night skincare routine.
PM - Twice a week
The active ingredient in this product - benzoyl peroxide - can lead to dryness and irritation. This is why we recommend limiting using this cleanser to twice per week only. Avoid the area around your eyes when applying this cleanser. Please note that this ingredient can bleach textile (for example, towels).

Very sensitive skin

I've always had dry, sensitive, eczema prone skin that is also prone to pigmentation AND congestion (not so much acne these days, but a lot of whiteheads and blackheads). Now with added aging!
Emphasis on multitasking actives/multi-active formulations where possible. Basics like cleanser, SPF, and moisturizer, I keep as basic as possible in case I have a flare-up bad enough I have to drop all the actives for a week or so.
For anti-aging, I just focus on preventing further damage by cramming as many antioxidants as I could into an AM serum. There are a small number of better-studied peptides in the regular routine, but I also have one day a week (at most) where I have an indulgent k-beauty ferment/peptide serum/essence extravaganza under a reusable mask.
Acne control gel/differin/AA acid + bakuchiol on different days. Aveeno moisturizing cream all over face in the PM, Dry and Rough Skin solution on cheeks, nose and chin when I'm not exfoliating or using retinol, Baume B5 on irritated spots (as needed).
