Hey, 24 f here. My whole life I didn’t do much skincare. Last year around start of December I began and since then tested some products while trying to find my routine.

My goal was to get a clean and healthy skin. I was cleansing one to two times a day and tried out toners/liquids and serums.

My pores were always one of my biggest problems so I figured I had to use Niacinaids. I started with the nø serum but in march I started using the geek and gorgeous bbomb serum instead bcs of its higher concentration.

But it did nothing for my pores, right now they seem larger and dirtier and more clogged than EVER and my whole T zone is oily and greasy. Also I wanted to make the textures on my cheeks more smooth but I look like the moon there … no matter how gentle I cleanse or how persistent I am (I never missed a day) everything just makes my skin worse right now. I use the apad serum for azelaic acid from geek and gorgeous too.

I used sunscreen daily and I tried not to damage my barrier so most of the time I only used Retinol every third day and my serums only in the evening. I even bought a really gentle cleanser for my skin type (cerave) and the all in Barrier Creme from nø (I love this one. Every product I introduced I did slowly while trying to get my skin used to it.

At this Point I’m so mad cause I feel like I wasted so much effort and Money and hope just to worsen my situation and I still have those products but I don’t want to use them anymore …

Do you have any tips?
