Hi everyone.
Very vulnerable post right here. I’ve never been one to obsess over my skin over the years. I’ve been having a consistent routine over the last ten years of removing make up and double cleansing my face every evening, always been moisturizing morning and evening, occasionally if it was dryer I would add a mask or a balm.
Anyways, skin was great until a year ago. Almost overnight not kidding I started having redness, dark under eye with weird texture, and overall one year later even though I’m only 28 I felt like I aged 15 years. My skin is constantly inflamed. I started going to see doctors see if there was any problem with my health, to which they said I’m just too stressed out and over focused on it without really telling me much else. I focused on barrier repair for over a year, I use the caffeine serum from ordinary + beauty of Joseon retinal + ginger cream for the under eye. So far routine has not made any noticeable change. I sleep 8-9h a night, I exercise 3 to 5 times a week, and I’ve had the same balanced diet for years.

I feel so depressed about it. Anyone has gone through something similar and could share their experience
