Thanks for the rec Pilk! I'll check the exfoliant out. How often do you use it? Also what's your routine?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I feel very unqualified to give advice, but my routine is:

  1. CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser, daily, in shower
  2. Paula's Choice 2% BHQ Liquid Exfoliant, up to twice a week or during breakouts, after shower
  3. CeraVe Moisturising Cream, daily, after shower

I am still experimenting with sunscreen that I like. I have recently started with Cancer Council Face Day Wear Moisturiser Invisible SPF50+. I like the matte finish but hate the residual odour.

I have noticed that in general fragrance-free products are the best for my skin. I also like Ego QV Sensitive Shampoo (+Conditioner) for scalp health, and have had great results with E45 Itch Recovery Moisturising Wash for calming the rest of the skin, especially in the moist and sweaty parts of the body. If I wash my face a second time in a day I'll use the E45 wash.
