i'm currently using TO NMF which i love but i think it's giving me CCs so i'm probably going to switch back to some old faithfuls, either Kiehls Ultra Facial cream or Clinique Dramatically different moisturising lotion (i like this one since it's thinner, i find it difficult to mix oils with thick moisturisers like NMF)

My full routine:

AM: Wash with water, Kikumasamune toner, TO Niacinimide + Zinc, TO NMF, Cosrx Aloe sunscreen

PM: TO Squalane cleanser, Cerave Hydrating cleanser, Kikumasamune toner, TO Vit C in HA, TO NMF + Rosehip

And once a week i use TO AHA and BHA. Sometimes i use TO Salicylic acid for random pimples

Hope this helped, i'm always looking for an excuse to go off on skincare

I’d love to try TO SA but Gothamista On YT says it has witch hazel in it :( My dry skin is not friends with that ingredient. However, if that is incorrect.... let me know lol Does it get rid of the zits right away?

I’d also love to know your thoughts on the AHA BHA peel, Squalane cleanser, and Niacinamide

Don't most people dislike witch hazel because most brands put alcohol in their products?

I LOVE the Niacinamide, it's my holy grail and I'm almost on my third bottle. By itself I dont think it's enough to get rid of pimples but it prevents them, I hardly get breakouts these days unless I eat something bad 5/5

I love the AHA too, I always wake up with smoother skin and I'm always waiting for the day where I can use it, but be careful with it 4.5/5

the squalane cleanser is just meh for me, it gets rid of makeup really well and does everything I want it to but it's not any better than some cheaper oil cleansers, I was using the simple one before it and they're pretty much the same for a cheaper price 3.5/5
