Skincare - do you stick to one range or mix it up?

I'm thinking of overhauling my minimal skin care routine.

Do I stick to one range and buy all olay/ whatever brand products?
Or mix and match?
Confused

I love trying new stuff so don't often have all from the same range.
If there is a range you're familiar with it may be a good starting point for you.
Depending on what your skin type is maybe read some reviews or ask here for recommendations.
Also it may be a good idea to change 1 thing at a time and then you know what is working or isn't.

Mix it up. I always thought that the "you must use everything from this range for maximum effectiveness" advice was on a par with, "shampoo, rinse and repeat"; to the manufacturer's benefit, rather than the consumer's!

Mix it up.

I mix it up, although I do like Olay Regenerist products and mainly use their serum and moisturisers but I also use Superdrug cleanser, Aldi eye cream, and sometimes No7 protect and perfect creams.

always mix. Never found a whole range to suit. Eg Liz Earle's cleanse and polish is my favourite cleanser. But all her moisturisers are too heavy for my quite oily skin.
