DEINFLUENCE/INFLUENCE my wishlist routine for a 19 yo

I have tiny comedones & clogged pores with a dehydrated to combination skin type. My skin can feel slightly itchy in some areas like cheekbones & chin sometimes. I can wake up looking greasy & dehydrated. I have uneven skintone & alot of texture & sometimes grease on my forehead. On my cheeks I have those tiny bumps that look like clogged pores & I have some slight small post-acne marks. My nose pores can feel rough & sometimes look greasy. I have a rough upper lip. I’m sensitive to strong cleansers & exfoliating acids (e.g BHA & Benzoyl Peroxide) that can dry out my skin I think I used to have fungal acne back when I was 13 but I’m not sure…
My reason for purchasing each product based on what I’ve researched:

  1. Bioderma miceller cleanser, I’ll use it only every night for removing sunscreen/makeup & I’ve heard it’s very gentle compared to other micellar waters & I’ve seen it acne-prone & fungal acne skin routines.

  2. Geek & Gorgeous jelly joker cleanser, I’ll use it AM & PM, I heard it’s a gentle low ph cleanser & it’s suitable for fungal acne & it cleanses properly without stripping but I’ve seen people say it’s not the best for removing sunscreen & I’m not sure about removing makeup.

  3. I’m not sure if I should use retinoid because im sensitive & 19, which is why the Geek & Gorgeous cheer up exfoliator stood out to me since it has 5% mandelic acid which is considered gentle & can help with texture, post-acne marks & bacteria from pores & it has 1% BHA that can help with my comedones & congested clogged pores. I’ll use it 2x a week.

  4. Skin1004 centella ampoule, I heard I’m supposed to put an ampoule before serums, & I chose this specific one because I heard it’s lightweight & saw it has 100% centella, so basically it’s just something soothing to calm my skin barrier, especially after exfoliating.

  5. IUNIK Beta-Glucan serum, I’ve used it before & I found it feeling thick & leaving a film despite seeing claims it’s lightweight, which is why I stopped using it because I didn’t like the thick feeling, but I’m re-adding it back into my routine because I need a plumping hydration serum & this one seems to work best since Beta-Glucan is a very hydrating ingredient, & back when I was using it - my skin was clearer compared to now.

  6. Purito oat in calming gel cream, I’m seeing claims it’s lightweight & hydrating enough for sensitive acne-prone skin & it won’t clog pores. I’ve seen it many fungal acne skin routines. I’m
    hoping it works as a makeup base too.

  7. Skin1004 centella sunscreen, I was going to choose the COSRX ultra light sunscreen over this one because that one seemed to have claims of absorbing faster & feeling lighter, but after seeing a review that it peels under makeup because it has silicones & doesn’t work with water-based foundations, I had to let it go. I heard this one is soothing & looks dewy & works under makeup. I’ve seen it in many fungal acne skin routines.

What do you think about my routine, is it worth the purchase??? If you have better recommendations then please suggest.

Fungal acne safe products for clogged pores on dehydrated combination (sooboji/수부지 ) skin.

My skin feels quite dehydrated and it has tiny clogged pores, although when I touch my nose it feels greasy & has rough sebaceous filaments (that’s why I think I have sooboji/수부지 skin), and my routine is very simple, I just use a cleanser (from the UK brand Simple) & I use the Isntree hylauronic acid moist cream.
I think my skin is acting like this because my skin barrier is dehydrated. I want to get a Korean skincare routine to smoothen my skin by getting rid of my clogged pores & for my skin to feel hydrated & look glowy.
Please recommend products for me that are fungal acne safe & don’t clog pores:

  1. Gentle low ph cleanser that won’t leave my skin feeling stripped

  2. Gentle yet effective exfoliator that will smoothen my skin & get rid of clogged pores but still not drying out my skin

  3. Hydrating toner/essence

  4. Hydrating serums/ampoules for skin barrier support & to make the skin look glowy

  5. Moisturizer suitable for dehydrated combo skin that feels lightweight, non-greasy but still hydrating & won’t clog my pores & will make my skin look glowy & good for makeup base.

  6. SPF 50 that is lightweight, non-greasy, & won’t clog my pores.

“Butylene Glycol can break u out”- what do we think???

I think I have a soobooji skin type with clogged pores - my skin can look greasy or even when I touch it on areas like my nose that has sebaceous fillaments, but it feels really dehydrated & itchy on some areas. I’m sensitive to high percentages of exfoliating acids that can dry my skin out, which is why I also prefer my cleanser to be gentle.

I’m on a mission to smoothen my skin from clogged pores & I want it to look hydrated & glowy, and I want to do this by using products that are good for the skin barrier.

So after seeing TikToks about how Butylene Glycol can break you out & cause bumps, it’s been concerning me because almost all Korean products I’ve come across have Butylene Glycol & l cannot afford to take any risks because I don’t want to splurge money on a product just for it to mess up my skin so I want to be extremely careful.

What are your opinions on this based on hearing about my skin type & concerns, and does anyone know products without Butylene Glycol?

Soobooji (수부지) skin help???

I recently discovered Soobooji skin type & I completely relate to it. My skin can look greasy in some areas but it feels dehydrated. I also have clogged pores that I really want to get rid of. My skin is sensitive to high percentages of exfoliating acids that can dry out my skin.
I just want my skin to feel hydrated & look smooth. I’ve been thinking about getting the House of Hur clearing skin prep essence pads to help smoothen my skin but I’m not sure because I don’t want to ruin out my skin barrier.
I’ve also been thinking about getting the Dokdo toner, INUIK Beta-Glucan power moisture serum, the Purito bamboo pantheon cream, & the Dr Althea creamy mist.
Please help me out with any product suggestions that you think would be better?

Toners that make ur skin hydrated & glowy???

I saw a TikTok saying that Korean toners are meant for hydration. After using a toner I’d want my skin to feel hydrated & to look more radiant. Is that possible?

I have a soobooji (수부지) skin type (feels dehydrated but looks greasy) & it has clogged pores & I’m currently working on fixing my skin barrier so my skin can feel hydrated & look radiant.

What toners would you say are worth the purchase to deliver that result?

House of Hur essence pads as an exfoliator for clogged pores on combo skin?

I have clogged pores with combination skin but it’s more on the dehydrated side and it can be sensitive to a very high percentage of exfoliating acids that can dry out or cause burning sensations to my skin. I’m on a hunt for a gentle exfoliator that’s still able to clear my clogged pores, rough sebaceous filaments on my nose, and make my skin look smooth and glowy, without leaving it feeling stripped. Do you think these essence pads would be powerful enough to do that?

Exfoliators for clogged pores on sensitive dehydrated skin?

My skin is combination but more on the dehydrated side and it can feel itchy on some areas & it’s sensitive to high concentrations of exfoliating acids because it gets easily stripped.

I’ve been experiencing clogged pores on my forehead & other areas of my face like my rough nose because I literally have no strong exfoliator. I’ve tried using the beauty of Joseon red bean pore mask & while it makes me look hydrated, glowing, & cleans my nose pores, it still hasn’t really cleared up anything that powerfully.

I’m on a haunt for a gentle yet powerful exfoliator & my two options have been Axis y 10% PHA resurfacing glow peel & the Isntree 2% BHA toner. I’m skeptical about buying the Axis y one because even though I know PHA is more gentle for sensitive skin I’ve heard it doesn’t go deep into the skin so I don’t know if it will be powerful enough to unclog my pores & I’m feel skeptical about the Isntree one because what if the BHA dries out my skin & causes a reaction even though it has some hydrating ingredients.

Can someone please help me with a better alternative or if anyone with my skin type has a good experience with either products when it came to unclogging pores & smoothing texture?

Scripting Guide???

I’ve been trying to get more deeply into manifestation, so I wanted to try scripting. I was thinking about getting a manifestation journal so I could script my desired reality. I just needed help in how the process of scripting works. Am I supposed to script it like it’s already happened, for example, “I woke up in my mansion today.” & I was thinking about scripting while listening to Theta waves in 432hz or any manifestation frequencies. And after scripting am I just supposed to let it go by forgetting I just scripted? Like how does the after process work?
Can anyone who’s scripted & it worked, let me know how their exact process was?
Thank you!!! :)))

2026 upcoming Mercury Retrograde in Cancer - thoughts???

So I’ve been seeing on TikTok that Mercury Retrograde is happening on 29th June & people have been saying this Mercury retrograde is going to be the most intense one compared to other Mercury retrogrades…here’s what I saw videos saying:
• this Mercury retrograde will bring back what you experienced in the last 6 months
• the degrees of this Mercury retrograde are the same as October 2025
• this Mercury retrograde will bring back the emotional neglect you experienced as a child.
• this Mercury retrograde is not really going to affect technology but it’s more about resurfacing old feelings that you avoided but need to be brought up again.

Can any professional astrologers share their thoughts about this?

Uno cards as tarot???

I can’t get access to an actual tarot deck so can I use uno cards to help me read tarot???

Can I use 78 uno cards & write with pen the name of each major arcana card. For example, I write “the high priestess” on one card, “the lovers” in another card, “the empress” etc, & basically make a 78 uno card tarot deck?
