What's your skincare routine and what products do you use?

I use the "acne.org" skin care regimen which help with my acne tremendously.

I wash my face with their cleanser then pay my face dry then use the 2.5 benzoyl peroxide then wait until it absorbs into my skin then I use their moisturizer but it doesn't really moisturize so lately I've been using H20+ marine daily hydrator or Neutrogena hydro boost water gel.

I am looking to purchase a different cleanser and moisturizer that's for dry skin and is non-comedogenic. Any suggestions?

I myself have incredibly dry skin, and I have two different routines for morning and night. My products change relatively often, though, because I have a million skincare samples and I'm trying to use them. My skin isn't sensitive at all, so it doesn't mind the constant changing.

In the mornings I use the Ren Rosa Centifolia Cleansing Balm, because it cleans but also feels super hydrating and awesome. Once I'm finished washing my face, I apply Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer (which I'm almost out of, so I don't know what I'm going to use next) and the Origins Gin-zing Eye Cream.

At night, I use my Clarisonic and a cleanser by Sircuit Skinceuticals, which I get from my facialist. After that I use a serum (currently Ole Henrikson's Truth Serum) and then follow with moisturizer (currently the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream which actually doesn't impress me much at all, I recommend Korres products instead since they're fabulous for dry skin and have a bunch of different types depending on your concern). I use the Origins Gin-zing Eye Cream again and then follow up with lip balm. But that's really it, sometimes the simplest routines work the best.

I have combination skin, with a oily t-zone (nose, forehead, chin and eyelids) and dry cheeks and undereyes.

I cleanse once a day (in the evenings). I use Liz Earle cleanse and polish cream cleanser with either Vitamin E moisturiser, Liz Earle moisturiser or Elemis marine cream. Every two days, I exfoliate with Garnier fresh radiance boosting scrub for dull and tired skin. I also layer my lips with Palmers cocoa butter solid formula at night to moisturise my lips.

I love using the products that I use as they make my skin feel really clean. I chop and change with my moisturiser and exfoliater a lot as I buy whatever is available or on offer. I try to stick to either the Liz Earle or Elemis moisturisers though. My mum has incredibly dry skin and uses the same products as me. We never have any problems with them:)

I have normal to oily skin.

I cleanse with my Clarisonic and the Origins Checks And Balances. Then I apply the Tarte Maracuja C Brightener Eye Treatment and a basic moisturizer, I'm still looking for a holy grail moisturizer.

I don't have a separate exfoliator because I feel that the Clarisonic is enough exfoliation for my skin. I also use the Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask when I feel that my skin isn't looking it's best.

Hannah W- where did you purchase the Ren Rosa centifolia cleanser? Does it clog your pores? And what exactly does the origins eye cream do for your under eye area? I've been needing a eye cream.

And thank you for recommending the Korres products.

Hannah k- how does the Garnier fresh radiance boosting scrub make your skin feel after using it?

Noel- at first, I didn't like it at all. I feel like it didn't really moisturize my skin too well but once I started the acne.org regimen which cause my skin to be very drying I did start using the water gel again and now I actually like it.

I get the Ren at Sephora, and no I don't find that it clogs my pores at all :) honestly I'm young so I'm not sure if the eye cream is really doing much but I do have some darkness that it seems to be alleviating.

Alexis- I've been eyeing the tarte eye cream. Do you see a difference using the eye cream and do you feel like it's doing its job?

Phylicia V.

Hannah W- thank you lovie. I'm definitely going to check it out at sephora. They do give samples of skin care products right?

My under eye just gets a little puffy at times. That's why in trying to find a good eye cream that will help with the puffiness and the dark circle.

Hannah K.

Yes ma'am they do :) I think you can try the eye cream as well, I hope you like it!

Phylicia, I do see a difference! My under eyes are definitely more hydrated and my concealer applies and blends so much more smoothly under my eyes. However I don't see any difference in my dark circles but I didn't have a ton of darkness to begin with so that's not much of a big deal to me (:

I have oily-dry skin, so my skin care routine consist of moisturizers, cleansers, and scrubs. I also have pretty bad acne on my forehead and a crop (literally it is a crop) of blackheads under my left eye and on my left check. my favorite moisturizer is one from Mary Kay that I can't remember the name of lol sorry. my all time favorite scrub and cleanser are from Clean and Clear (and they may be a little harsh, so not recommended for you if you have sensitive skin) and once again I can't remember the name :/

I use the Ren cleanser and moisturizer for sensitive skin. Pricey but nice. I use witch hazel in between, clarisonic one or two times per week, and whatever eye cream I can find.
