Wow, you’re using retinol, anti-aging products, moisturizing products… Tell me your main skin concerns (dryness, acne, redness, pores, wrinkles, etc.) and write out your AM and PM routine briefly. I’ll be able to help you much more accurately once I see the full routine.💙🩵

When I first started, I was worried about my skin barrier because I was unsure if it was damaged or not, better safe than sorry. I only used S.Nature - Rice foam cleanser, Isntree - HA toner, AESTURA - 365 Ato barrier lotion and Round Lab - Birch Juice sunscreen for two weeks and I am not gonna lie, I don’t do “patch tests” I applied ALL of my products the same day I got them; Then I purchased the rest. My concerns/ focus are on: fine-line, wrinkles and pores (blackheads and pore-reduction). 🌞 AM Routine: (Shave/ exfoliation: Wednesdays & Saturdays) > Shower 🚿: SeeYoung - Soothing Gel anti-dandruff shampoo > Cleanser🧼: S.Nature - Aqua foam cleanser > Toner💦: Double-tone/ Isntree - Ultra-low molecular HA toner > Eye Cream/ Serum 👁️🫟: Innisfree - Vitamin C + Niacinamide brightening eye serum > Serum/ Ampoule 🫟: Goodal - Green Tangerine Vita C dark spot care alpha serum > Moisturizer🧴: Isntree - HA Aqua gel cream > Sunscreen ☀️: Round Lab - Birch juice moisturizer sunscreen (Only once) > Sunscreen ☀️: Cosrx - Ultra Light Invisible sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ (reapplications) > Midday Shine/ Oil Control 💄: Chillab - Lavender Matte Powder solid-state (one-time application) 🌜 PM Routine: > Shower 🚿: Beauty 107 - Microbiome balancing shampoo > Cleanser 🧼: MAnyo - Pure oil cleanser (As needed) > Cleanser 🧼: S.Nature - Aqua foam cleanser > Serum/ Ampoule 🫟: Cosrx - BHA Blackhead Power Liquid (Wednesday and Sunday) > Serum/ Ampoule 🫟: Wellage - Real HA Blue 100 ampoule (Mon, Wed, and Sun.) > Serum/ Ampoule 🫟: Anua - Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% serum (Monday) > Retinoid 🧪: Dr.Different - Retinal 0.1% (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday) What should I switch out for your cream or how can I introduce it to my skin routine? 🩵

• 🙊👍🥹 Your skincare routine is very well organized, and overall you’re doing a great job. • Shave / exfoliation days: Use CYoung Cream instead of the Isntree gel cream since your skin is a little more compromised on those days. • Extra dry or rough days: You can use CYoung Cream as a sleeping mask by applying 2–3 thin layers, waiting about 1 minute between each layer for a much stronger hydration boost. • Fine lines / wrinkles: Since wrinkles usually start around the eye area first, I’d consider adding an eye cream. • Retinal: How is your skin tolerating it right now—any dryness, peeling, stinging, or irritation? • If your skin is handling retinal well: I’d finish the current bottle first, then consider moving up one step in strength afterward. Hope it helps!❤️

🤗 Thank you but I cannot take all the credit, your videos helped me out a lot too! On July 26 I will have completed my first month of skin care.😎 🧴 Okay so my CYoung cream will be added to my morning routine after shaving/ exfoliating, perfect. You’re absolutely right, how could I forget the windows to my soul, my eyes! Thank you so much for pointing that out, I will get on that right away, any recommendations? 🧪 When I first started using the retinal on my face I would feel tingles but not itchy, burning, stinging, dryness or peeling. After 2 or 3 minutes the tingling went away. Moving up one step in strength, what strength do you recommend? I’ve been looking at, “Prequel skin retinal renew gel 0.2%”, what do you think? 🩵 Yes, everything you said helped. I’m on the lookout for an eye cream and a stronger retinal now. I wish I had a “before” picture to show my progress I was just in a hurry to put everything on but my skin looks visibly very different, my friends and family noticed after a week. I don’t want to take up more of your time, there are others that need more help. Thank you so much for everything again CYoung, you are the best!
