This could be a dietary or lifestyle change, or a product that really made an improvement.

wash with a clean very hot flannel and a cream cleanser every night and then moisturise. Everyone is going to give you different answers because everyone has different things that work for them.

Yes, I'm hoping for lots of different answers to get some new ideas for my skincare routine.
I have an Emma Hardie balm cleanser and cloth somewhere, unused, so it may be worth a try to start me off.

BCPs and jojoba oil (I cleanse and moisturize with it).

I use plain water for cleansing, nothing else.
It never made much sense to strip out the oils/moisture then put it back in again.

saunas are the only thing that sorts out my blackheads

Kept it out of the sun and not smoked.
I'm quite liking the el cheapo Superdrug Vitamin E OIl which was recommended on here. But I'd say that the best thing I've done is never smoked.

Microdermabrasion !
Did a 4 course session before my wedding and everyone commented how well my skin looked - should have kept up with it!
Stopped smoking. Microdermabrasion. Taking my make up off religiously, even when drunk, every night since i started wearing it.

I use the Emma Hardie balm - it's lovely!
I'm lucky enough to have decent skin: I've never smoked, always used sunscreen, have SPF moisturiser, don't drink much, but the main factor is probably genetics - my mum could pass for 60-something, at 75. I've inherited her varicose veins too, mind

Sorry, that is both smug AND unhelpful...

Roaccutane, the contraceptive pill, and those muslin cloths with a hot cloth cleanser. I don't get on with Liz Earle but love Soap and Glory, I find it is the cloth that makes the big difference though.

Stop drinking as much Diet Coke (still drink some but not lots) and start using Estée Lauder

Cream cleanser and hot cloth, definitely.
Bought some Hydraluron serum recently which is making my face feel nice and firm and has got rid of fine lines. Sali Hughes raves about hyaluronic acid

Oh, and making a conscious effort to drink more water!
