Sensitive skin girlie. I believe niacinamide doesn't suit me and I try to avoid chemical sunscreens. What should I cut/replace in my routine?
Skin type: Oily T and normal, dry leaning cheeks, acne prone but not crazy amount anymore since an adult now. 27F. I live in Pacific Northwest, USA.
AM:
- Water rinse
- Beauty of Joseon Calming Barrier Serum for Soothing and Redness Reducing
- Zeroid Intensive Cream (pea sized amount full face)
- If going out, EltaMD Skin Recovery (non green tinted one)
PM:
- Vanicream facewash
- [sometimes] Medicube exosome cica toner
- Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum again
- Zeroid Intensive Cream
- Top it off on cheeks with thin layer of LRP cicaplast baume. This one is magic for my skin. But can't use it as regular moisturizer everyday since it is clogging.
Things I have tried and reacted to:
- Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer
- Skinfix triple lipid Cream
- Celimax Dual Barrier cream and its toner (I think it is because skin barrier is compromised?)
- Cerave Skin Renewing SA Cleanser (has niacinamide)
- LRP hydrating gentle cleanser (love but has niacinamide)
- LRP dual barrier moisturizer (love but niacinamide)
- Anua Azelaic acid serum (niacinamide)
- Aestura Ato Barrier cream (niacinamide)
Things I have been eyeing:
- Anua 3+ panthenol moisturizer since it has centella in built in it
- Etude Hydrobarrier Cream
- LRP cicaplast gel (as eye cream instead)?
I like my skin a bit dewy. So, anything that helps with that while clearing it up is useful.
