I been working on building a simple but effective skincare routine using a mix of affordable finds and prescription treatments. My focus is on smoother skin, preventing breakouts, and keeping everything hydrated without overdoing it.

I’m learning that consistency matters more than having a million products, so this is what I’m currently using and how each one fits into my routine.

🧴 Product Breakdown

1. Cleanser

XtraCare Hydro Plus Hydrating Cleansing Gel

* A gentle, fragrance-free cleanser with hyaluronic acid

* Removes dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping the skin

* Great for daily use, morning and night

* Keeps skin feeling soft instead of tight

2. Treatment (Acne + Texture)

Azelaic Acid Gel 15%

* Helps reduce acne, redness, and dark spots

* Also improves skin tone and texture

* Good for sensitive or acne-prone skin

* Can be used once or twice daily depending on tolerance

3. Retinoid (Anti-aging + Acne)

Tretinoin Gel 0.01% (Mylan)

* Boosts cell turnover to reduce fine lines and breakouts

* Helps fade dark spots over time

* Used at night only

* Start slow to avoid irritation

4. Chemical Exfoliant

CeraVe Skin Renewing Nightly Exfoliating Treatment

* Contains a blend of glycolic and lactic acids

* Smooths skin and improves texture

* Also includes ceramides to support the skin barrier

* Best used on nights you are NOT using tretinoin

5. Sunscreen (Daily Essential)

mixsoon Bean Sunscreen SPF 50

* Broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection

* Lightweight and comfortable for daily wear

* Helps prevent sun damage, dark spots, and premature aging

* Must be used every morning, especially with actives like tretinoin and acids

6. Moisturizer

XtraCare Anti-Wrinkle Cream with AHAs & Collagen

* Hydrates and helps soften the look of fine lines

* Contains AHAs for mild exfoliation

* Best used cautiously alongside other exfoliating products to avoid overuse

* Locks in moisture and keeps skin balanced

⚖️ Quick Routine Structure

Morning:

Cleanser → Azelaic Acid → Moisturizer → Sunscreen

Night (alternate):

* Night 1: Cleanser → Tretinoin → Moisturizer

* Night 2: Cleanser → Exfoliating Treatment → Moisturizer

1. Boil 8-10oz of purified water with 1 or 2 tea bags. I like a stronger taste, so I use 2 bags. 2. Add 1 tbsp of Apple cider vinegar. 3. Add as much or little honey as you like. 4. ENJOYYYY!🫖 *** Helps with constipation, immune support, skin health, and lowers cholesterol.
