Dear community,

Im wondering if it is just in my head and I am overthinking or I need to drastically change my skincare routine. With all the post from social media and videos (obviously I understand they are filtered and edited, but still) I became super insecure about my skin which has pretty visible texture, closed comedones (always), and enlarged pores in a t-zone. I think I probably have destroyed my skin barrier when I was a teenager with all the acids and harsh cleansers I used.
I am 24 yo at the moment.

Right now I got into the loophole with a Koreean skincare however I have no idea what will work on my skin, and I dont have a good esthetician who would recommend me suitable products. And I presume it is quite expensive :(

For now my routine is cleaning my face with Enzyme powder in the evening (not daily), and in the morning just washing with water and applying SVR mat pores cream with a sunscreen on top of it if I am going outside. But this cream is not moisturizing enough, I feel my skin being dehydrated after it a bit. Also my skin is not particularly oily, but I often wake up with an oily skin, but when I apply mattifying creams or acids it feels like my skin is extremely dry.

What would you recommend or advice from your personal experience or should I just leave it in peace.

Thx in advance🫶 all advice is appreciated :)
