But watches it anyway 🤷‍♀️

I’ve been on this sub for about 8 years, but I’ve never really needed to post about my own skin because I was usually able to manage things on my own. Besides acne, CCs, regulating oily skin and finding the skincare routine that works I really didn’t have any major skin issues - except retinol purge one time :D.

Now that I’m approaching 30, my skin seems to be changing and I can’t figure out what works anymore. Even though it maybe doesn’t look too bad on camera, I’m dealing with few issues - CCs, too oily and too dry skin in different areas (I have combination skin) and sebacious filaments (which I can't eliminate anymorer with OCM!). The biggest issue I have are those dry patches, which sometimes occur on the edge of my eyes, lips and cheeks. I've gone cold turkey and it helped significantly, but now I've restarted my routine and it seems it's starting to dry up again.

My current routine:

Morning:

• ⁠Cleanser: Bioderma Atoderm Gel
• ⁠Serum: Bioderma Hydrabio serum
• ⁠Day cream: local-brand immortelle cream

Evening:

• ⁠Cleanser: Bioderma Atoderm Gel
• ⁠Serum: Bioderma Hydrabio serum (optional)
• ⁠Night cream: local-brand immortelle cream

That’s about it. When I spend time outdoors, I try to use sunscreen, but I have trouble finding one that doesn’t give me closed comedones, make my skin too oily, white, or feel uncomfortable, etc.

I’d really appreciate any suggestions or advice!
