u/Derpsaliva

Hi, I'm an early 20s man with a dark brown skin tone (type 5 on the Fitzpatrick scale) and I experience dry skin and hyperpigmentation.

I've never had a skincare routine, and I used to have silky smooth, clear skin until around the time I turned 19. I would very much like to go back to that!

Does anyone have recommendations for a good facial skincare routine that would help reduce my hyperpigmentation, dryness and clogged pores?

I think specifically a good cleanser, moisturizer and protection, along with anything else that's useful for someone with my skin would be great!
