When people suddenly start hyping a new product, don’t be too quick to hop on them . Sometimes, it’s just a marketing PR You hardly see people hyping good molecules . And their products are really good

If your skin feels oily but sensitive, you don’t have to choose between clearing and calming. Pair salicylic acid (for congestion) with beta glucan (for soothing). Balance always wins over stripping.

– Daily stress can trigger breakouts just like pore-clogging products – Skipping meals can spike cortisol, increasing oil production – A steady routine inside and outside supports clear, calm skin Surface work matters, but internal work makes it last.

Topicals help manage symptoms. But if oiliness, redness, or cystic breakouts keep coming back, look inward: blood sugar swings, hormone fluctuations, chronic stress, all push skin out of balance. Real skin health starts under the surface.

If you have a proper skincare routine and your skin suddenly flares up resulting to breakouts , allow your skin breathe for a while . It could be stress. Sometimes you don’t need a new product, you only need rest .

There are some products that are good but i wouldn’t just recommend because there’re better products.

If you’re struggling with hormonal or adult acne , contraceptive pills can either be a win or loss for your skin . Those nail and hair gummies are even worse .

If you don’t have a separate towel for your face , please don’t bother to buy any skincare product . That’s the least to start with .

Personal hygiene is the starting point of skincare . Start with having your bath 2/3 times a day , changing your bedspread and pillowcases weekly and having a separate towel for both face and body . Start with these before buying skincare products.

Vitamin C needs 10-20% to be effective. Retinol works at 0.25-1% Niacinamide: 2-5% sweet spot Without knowing concentrations, you're gambling with your skin (and wallet) Potency matters a lot .

Skincare schedule for all skin types . The monthly routine is optional.

First of , skincare isn’t a competition. Nobody cares about your “stash “ You only need to ; 1. Cleanse 2. Hydrate 3. Treat 4. Moisture 5. Protect So basically you only need about 5 products. And in some cases 6, for exfoliation. Should we proceed ?

If you are strictly on a budget, these are for you .
