Saw someone else's, didn't want to highjack their thread but wanted opinions on my routin. I am mid-twenties. No real skin issues. Naturally very oily. I get spots occasionally, but never full on breakouts. Skin seems in good condition but I have noticed expression lines on my forehead are very very faintly still there even when relaxed. At the moment I am not wearing makeup, pre-covid I did every day, I haven't noticed any change in my skin because of this change. My aims are to keep skin nice and soft, prevent breakouts, and to minimise ageing.

A.M. 1 I go for a walk first thing so have a second 'proper' routine later
Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer SPF30

A.M. 2
Dear Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil - removed with a muslin or flannel, they are intentionally super soft and over washed as I don't want this as an exfoliation step
Dear Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop - 6-7 drops directly onto hands, then applied to face
Clean & Clear Dual Action Oil Free Moisturiser
Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer SPF30 - reapplied if I go outside during the day
Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm

P.M.
Simple Kind to Skin Micellar Cleansing Water - soaked into reusable cotton pads
Dear Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil - in the evening I try to find the time to do some facial massage while the oil is on my skin, removed with a soft muslin or flannel
COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid - distributed with a reusable cotton pad
or
Retinol 0.2% in Squalane - 4 drops directly onto hands, then applied to face focusing more on the forehead
Clean & Clear Dual Action Oil Free Moisturiser
or if I feel my skin needs a richer moisturiser
Dear Klairs Fundamental Water Gel Cream
Shavata Brow & Lash Strengthener

@SummaLuvin

Is your walk very vigorous and sweaty? If not I'd do my routine first rather than oil cleansing twice a day. Also I'd use a water based cleanser in the pm after the oil. No need really for the micellar water, the oil should be more than capable of removing sunscreen.

Not sure about that Klair's Vitamin thing- most things I've seen say at least 10% Vitamin C to work and the Klair's only has 5. Also it has essential oils in it which may cause photo sensitivity and irritation. Seems expensive for a product that mightn't be very good.

What retinol are you using? I'd up to factor 50 because of using retinol.

I've got a vague feeling your skin is not as oily as you think and your forehead is getting dehydrated/dry.
