@@dani5612 Hi! First happy New Year! I know I am a bit late but this may help. You know it when sometimes in winter or just colder days your skin tends to dry out but not completely desert dry. And in summer when the weather is hot you get just the tiniest bit oily in your T-zone but the rest is pretty much normal with a slightly dry feeling. The best products to use is the ones that are labelled for normal to dry skin. Hope I helped 😊. And go have a look on Hyram here on youtube,he can really help any skin type. Btw sorry for any grammar mistakes, English is not my main language.
Normal skin that leans toward oily and acne prone. Great video. I've been on tretinoin for 2 and a half months now so I'm trying to be as simple as possible. My routine is just rinse face in am then sunscreen and pm is oil cleanser then vanicream face cleanser, isntree hyaluronic acid toner, cerave moisturizing lotion and finally 0.04% tretinoin from curology.
I'm pretty sure I have combination skin.... my t-zone is super oily with large pores, but everywhere else is normal.. I do have really large pores on my cheeks tho, like right by my nose
I have extremely normal skin and I’m so grateful for you covering and mentioning the normal skin type! Me, my sister, and my mom all have the 3 different Cerave cleansers (hydrating, foaming, SA) and we kind of rotate using them since none of us really need just one in particular. Also I’m debating purchasing the CeraVe lotion, the CeraVe PM lotion, or VaniCream’s lotion since the CeraVe cream irritates the skin around my nose
As a man i got really overwhelmed with the whole skincare scene but i just couldnt deal with how bad my face got, this video really did simplify it well, thank you!
My skin type is VERY dry but very acne prone! It’s super hard to treat without using moisturizing products that don’t break me out. I’ve been using tretinoin 0.025% since March and it’s helped a lot! I also haven’t had any increase in dryness while on tret which is a godsend.
Wow that is amazing you have had more dryness using tretinoin!! I have dry skin with acne and am delaying starting my retinol out of fears of more dryness. Maybe I should just start and it won't be that bad ! ☺️
@@oceanbird. try it! I had to stop using tretinoin in November of 2020 unfortunately because I started getting perioral dermatitis and my acne came back worse than every before no matter what I did (or didn’t do). I’m hoping to try it out again at a later date. Once I stopped Tretinoin, my skin cleared up almost immediately with just using a salicylic acid 2% exfoliating toner. Thinking I may try out the Retin-A Micro version so it’s more gentle on my skin…think that was my main problem, it was too harsh at 0.025% retin-a.
@@lilacfaerie1619 wow thanks for the update!! My derm is having me start at a very low dose of OTC retinol, the lowest one which I think is 0.25%. it's the one from skin medica and is supposed to be a bit more gentle. I think I'll give it a try thanks to your story! I feel encouraged :) also good luck on trying micro! Also have you heard of altreno? I haven't tried any tret but I was researching gentle tret options before my derm suggested the skin medica retinol, and altreno came up. Maybe it would be another option to look at along with micro?
If I didn’t wash my face in the morning, I would have enough grease for a damn oil change for my car 😭 so I agree with her recommendation of twice daily washing.
I finally tried cerave and I'm obsessed with the cerave pm moisturizing lotion to use in the day! This week a sunscreen really irritated/burned my face, and I washed everything off and only put on the cerave pm moisturizing lotion and my skin was back to normal in 10 minutes (except I got a huge pimple the next day from the irritation)
The first moisturizer is way to moisturizing for combination skin and makes my skin feel as I just didn’t wash it so it’s a no for me. And the CeraVe cream works PERFECT not to oily not to drying just right!
@@mrsquarterblack I recently realized that I actually have combination skin: Oily forehead/nose but normal cheeks/chin. Finding a moisturizer that feels hydrating and doesn’t make the greasy half of my face look even shinier (and not the good kind). A part of my problem is that I like the “clean dewy” look but again, oily skin ruins it.😭
I just started using the DRMTLGY tinted sunscreen thanks to your recommendation and I love it!! I have dry, sensitive skin and I'm also someone that hates most sunscreens. I actually enjoy wearing this one and don't mind reapplying, so thank you 😊
I use the Cerave Daily Moisturizing Lotion both at night and at daytime but some days I wake up with my skin feeling parched. I have combination skin and steer more towards products for oily skin so I’m not sure why the lotion doesn’t provide adequate moisture but I still love using it.
I completely cut out using a cleanser and only water rinse my skin twice a day and only use the new Vanicream moisturizer with HA, Ceramides and Squalane and my skin is flawless now. I started treating my skin gently and as if it is normal and I love it so much 😊 I have never used makeup (I'm pretty lazy when it comes to putting that stuff on and I'm always in a rush so I don't have time to) I am however going to try and incorporate an spf since I found my go to moisturizer 😊
I have to say that the Cerave daily moisturizing lotion is amazing. I was previously using Cetaphil oil-free hydrating lotion with hyaluronic acid, which is similar, except for the ceramides. The Cetaphil is good under makeup but is very watery and lightweight and just didn't do much. The Cerave however, transformed my skin. I woke up to my skin looking significantly different than the day before. It looks lightweight and like it's not going to do much but it does!! I own the cream version too, but I'd say the lotion does more for me. That's my new moisturizer and I'm not Changing it. Using it on my wet skin right after washing is a game changer.
I really wish they had chosen a different filter for the DRMTLGY tinted sunscreen or just keep it mineral only. Octinoxate breaks me out and it is in fact a very irritating chemical filter along with oxybenzone. I have very sensitive and acne prone skin and I am trying mineral tinted sunscreens, currently I have the Paula’s Choice Super-light daily wrinkle defense spf 30 and MDSolarSciences spf 50 in light-medium. Not sure yet which one I like best. Also, I have to comment on my HG under eye cream, the Avène Soothing eye contour cream. This dedicated eye cream has saved my ultra dry and tight under eye skin. I don’t even use concealer anymore (I don’t have bags or dark circles) and my under eyes look super smooth and just perfectly healthy and hydrated. I will continue to repurchase. Love your channel!!
Oily, acne prone, sensitive skin... Also aging skin... Lol. But right now in MN (winter-ish) it's kind of dry. Also, Cerave is my favorite. I started using the facewash and my face stopped being as sensitive as it used to be. I use a light facewash in the morning, then an oil cleaser, then a soft facial cleanser at night. Also, always use face lotion twice a day otherwise my face gets super irritated.
Combo dry leaning 🙋🏻♀️ it sucks . Lol some areas are soooo dry. And patchy I use that SA cleanser once a week to "exfoliate a little bit and help a little" . I always use it with my double cleanse (albolene) and I get a little redness but thankfully It goes away in a few minutes.
Glad to help! I find it’s easier to explain this way so I can talk about the formulation differences for each product at the same time instead of jumping back and forth
Hard agree about the CeraVe lotion not being enough for dry skin (or even moderately dry skin). It is so, so light. I wish they'd make a product with a thickness/richness between the lotion and the cream (which is...very intense).
Hi, you are 100% right the lotion is not hydrating enough for dry skin. We need the cream version. I have added the ordinary rose hip oil to my routine and its amazing!!! I don’t need a moisturiser when i use it at night. I know retinol and Vit C can’t be used together but can all oils be used with acids.
Combo/ acne prone skin here! I have been using the Cerave SA cleanser recently and I'm loving it. No irritation, which I sometimes get with other drying products. Speaking of, what are your thoughts on using bakuchiol instead of retinoids for those of us with reactive skin types?
If your skin can’t tolerate retinoids finding something that is better tolerated is definitely a good choice 😊 have you ever tried to use retinoids 1-2x a week on top of moisturizer as a start?
I've used the Cerave Hydrating cleanser since 2007.I started using retinoids then for my teenage going into hormonal acne.It works well for those with dehydrated/dry due to treatments skin.I also used the lotion and cream. The lotion worked well for my dehydrated,flaky sensitized oily skin then and works well with my more balanced combo/seasonally dry/oily skin now I keep Cliniques DDML on hand because it has never cause an issue with my skin.Even after I was building up my barrier after giving myself chemical burns. I seem to have some sort of sensitivity to vanicream and cetaphil products.If I use them to often I will break out and develop a rash.
@@nachurichz6199 The cerave regular pump lotion. It depends on what my skin is like in the morning. I either use the Cerave hydrating, or a Micellar water. I use a alcohol free witch hazel toner (thyers or Dickson's hydrating) or a thick hydrating one that I press into my skin. (innsfree or Klairs) I use my cream (Cerave) or lotion (Cerave Pm, regular or Clinique) in my dry places and a gel-cream (Clinique DDMG or Moisture Surge) in my t-zone. If I am actually getting out of the house I will use sunscreen (I usually use a generic baby one) I double cleanse at night I use a cleaning oil, balm or cold cream first then I use my Cerave foaming cleanser I use my AF witch hazel toner and then layer the thick hydrating one. I use my retinoid every other night. I use my Cerave Pm moisturizer then layer a sleeping mask or my cerave ointment where needed.
@@AbbeyYung I haven't tried it in a while.I was surprised myself. Even a couple of years after giving myself chemical burns my skin still is still off.Having to wear a mask all day at work ,in a kitchen,is not doing me any favors either.
Minimal Skin care sounds perfect, especially in a world that's constantly, bombarding you with products for this and that! Since the mask, I haven't worn any foundation, just mascara.. why wear lipstick if your lips are covered by a stupid mask? I call it my, "Semi Naturel Look." That Tinted Moisturizer, is a must. Thank you!
It makes so much sense now. Before I was introduced to skincare my sister got the SA Cleanser and we would use it day and night and we broke out the next day. We thought oh Hyaluronic acid and salicylic acid are really good but we didn’t know it was for VERY acne-prone skin, we just have occasional breakouts, with me having oily and her having dry 😭Thank you so much
Where do you get ur CeraVe products from? I went to Walmart to get the SA Cleanser and I only saw 2 total CeraVe Products and didn’t even see a CeraVe section, although I think they were all sold out cause there were like 5 racks empty
Shivangi Ranjan I use CeraVe products also. I usually buy them at Walmart, but have found that Target has more in stock usually!! Walmart is almost always sold out!!
Nicole Schriever That’s great to hear!! Way too many channels are taking about CeraVe😆. That is a great thing but the bad thing is that they are always out of stock, like what’s happening with the Ordinary, all the good products like the Niacinamide serum are constantly out of stock. I’ll be sure to get it next time I go to target! Thank you so much for your help!!
Just watched a couple of your videos and HOLY SH*T I learned so much! I’m 36 and am just now realizing I should do some research and have an actual skincare routine. Up until now, I’ve been one of those hippies who doesn’t want to use harmful chemicals, so I just used regular bar soap (I know, I know). With extremely oily, mottled, saggy/wrinkly, and hormonal acne skin, I need to make some drastic changes, but didn’t know where to start until now. Thank you!!
Side note: even if you’re not a hippie, check out the Healthy Living app by EWG, which gives safety ratings (and ingredient lists) for tons of products.
Another good video! Dry sensitive skin here that gets so dehydrated that needs all the extra help it can get!I know is a minimal routine but any rec for any extra step to boost hydration?
Abbey Yung great! In what step of the routine? Right after cleanser or right before the moisturizer? Heard both- what do you recommend for dehydrated dry skin?
Hiiiii... I'm just completely new to skin care. Just started today with your video and this was useful information 💖 However I have a silly question that I was hoping you or someone else could help me answering... When you are applying all of the products, do you have to rinse in between or they go one over the other? Also, before the cleanser, like in the shower, should we wash our face with like a neutral soap? Pls remember I'm brand new in this skin care world 😸 I really appreciate the help 💞
When I was staying where it was humid my skincare was working so perfectly for my skin and I rarely broke out. Now that I'm in a dryer place the only thing I can describe my skin as is like crusty as though I never exfoliate and I have little breakouts on my chin like all the time 😑 please someone save me from being doomed to forever have bad skin no matter how well I look after it 😫
Love this! So well done! Been a subscriber for about a month and have been BINGING your videos haha. I'm a skincare freak too. And you basically described my skincare routine in this video. I used to have more of an elaborate routine in my early to mid 20s but now it's paired down to this and my skin has never been more happy. I have extremely sensitive skin so once I tossed out the "extra products that work beautifully for so many skin types but not mine," my skin thanked me. Sometimes the skin needs less to thrive, and in my case, that was it. Sorry for the long response, love your videos and your personality, so freaking genuine.
By the way, I totally forgot to mention that I use to wash my face in the morning and evening, but as I have gotten older and my skin has changed I only wash my face in the evening. May sound gross to some, but I noticed when I was washing my face twice a day in my thirties my skin just seemed really dry. Thankfully, I figured it out. I use a gentle toner in the morning to wipe off any residue from lastnight's products, then do my morning moisturizer, and sunscreen twice. My skin is happier since I started that new routine.
Certain cleansers can dry out your skin as well. The Cetaphil foaming cleanser has been horrid to my skin and I’m only 17. I used to have oily type skin and now it’s getting very dry. I’ll have to try your routine and skip the morning cleansing.
12 minutes in and looks like a product placement for CeraVe. These cleansers and moisturizers were brutal for my 41 year old combo skin. The brand has comodogenic formulas and some shady marketing (Rob from Mad About Skin is a fantastic resource on this topic).
I love watching your videos! I am a skincare lover and a Cerave girl for life. Lol! I use the Cerave moisturizing lotion before applying my sunscreen in the morning and I use the Cerave cream in a tub at night. I use mineral oil to get sunscreen and makeup off in the evening, but then of course use my morning/evening cleanser. My skin has changed as I have gotten older, but I am definitely blessed with the skin I have now because I suffered with cystic acne as a teenager. Accutane saved me thank goodness. I've not had issues with acne and oily skin for the longest time. Normal skin for the most part, but have occasional dryness and a pimple during that time of the month. I love Bioderma and Cerave products! They are my to go to products. Looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks for all you do! Take care!
I have oily skin with big pores but at the same time I have dry skin that have flaky areas. I have acne prone skin as well. So am I a more severe combination? I also need to know, what order do I put the products in if it’s the most minimal routine?
Dry Combination Sensitive (my combo skin is more on the dry side) skin here, I have such a hard time with my skin bc sometimes I have days like today where my skin feels balanced and others it's dry and others the T Zone is super oily. I need product recommendations, Cerave works but the results are mediocre and it's not really for me and Clinic doesn't work for me. Please help 😭😭
I have white heads on my cheeks, but my t-zone seems completely fine, rarely I have a tiny pimple. I never had large pimples or pimple breakouts, but I have so many white heads on my cheeks and sometimes forehead. Is that combined skin?
Hi! Awesome video. Have you done one on the best azelaic acid you've found? I prefer azelaic acid to retinoids as it also helps with PIH and is a lot less irritating for my acne.
@@AbbeyYung Nice. I wish I could try the ordinary's but you can only get Finacea (prescription-based azelaic acid 15%) here in Canada. Anyhow, I would definitely recommend looking into azelaic acid and tea tree oil. Both are magic for acne, in my experience.
I have oily skin around my nose and near my eyes and my t-zone but then I have normal skin on my cheeks but I still have a small amount of acne on my cheeks then the most acne I have is on my forehead I have a lot of clogged pores on my nose and near my eyes and my chin has dark spots and feels oily
Hey I just found your channel over the weekend and you are brilliant!! I am 32 and I have dry dehydrated acne prone skin. I am looking for a concealer and finishing powder. I am looking for. A foundation as well but think I found one to try (cover girl + Olay ageless something or another lol) I was using L’Oréal lumi but they just don’t have my color especially for winter. I usually only break out if I wear makeup or around my cycle
hi abbey how r u ? I've had a minimal routine and been using tretinoin but tret is not for me I get super red and irritated. doctor said I can use differin since it's less irritating but I'm taking a break from it for now. I only use a facial cleanser and moisturizer I'm done with so many steps .thanks doll
I am great! On my morning walk replying to comments- hope you are doing well too 😊 ahhh yes tret is definitely not for everyone! Swapping to differin after your break sounds like a great approach!
In the uk, we need a gp referral to see a dermatologist. Unfortunately fine lines aren't acceptable as a medical need 😆 probably could arrange to see one privately but would be crazy expensive 😜
Dry skin here!!! Probably Extremely DRY!! My T zone is dry and flaky. Especially on the nose, between the eyes, eyebrows Sooooo bad and chin!! The T zone 😊
Hi Abbey I recently started to watch your videos and you are very informative. I been on a hunt for a skin regimen that doesn’t dry my skin or make it to oily. I have very dry skin around my chin, nose and forehead but also I am very oily. I am not sure if I am dry skin type or oily because I get both. I did read somewhere my skin could be producing a lot of oil to keep my face moisturized. I recently bought the Cerave moisturized cleanser and the lotion. But was wondering if I can use the Sa renew or the foaming cleanser at night just because I do wear make up and I like the feel of a fresh clean face. I don’t break out a lot is very one in a while. What would you recommend in this case? I will appreciate a recommendation.
I’m planning on trying Differin. I’ve had hormonal acne since middle school (I’m now 23). Do you have any recommendations for acne scars or large pores? I just came across your videos about an hour ago so I haven’t checked to see if you have a video talking about that. I’m getting married next summer and am hoping to somewhat clear and smooth out my skin by then. Thank you!
I'm 22 and I've started using adapalene ( Differin ) , it helped me clear my acne. I have oily skin and my dermatologist recommended me to have a simple skincare routine plus adapalene. Also, TO niacinamide would help with PIH. On the acne scars, there are different types so it's best to consult a dermatologist for that. Topical treatments may not be applicable and you might get laser treatments for the scars. 😄
is you have acne does that necessarily mean you have acne prone skin? i have hormonal acne but from what i know i’ve never had any products make me break out worse, etc. i definitely have sensitive skin which leads to a lot of redness and irritation at times...
I have normal skin and dry skin and a little bit of redness. I also have dry skin around my nose, and sometimes I get pimples. I use the cereve face wash and the cereve moisturizer. What else should I use???
Do you find that you have issues with your makeup cloths getting more stained/harder to get clean when using the Ponds cold cream? I’ve used about half the jar but now I feel like my cloths are gunked up and not coming totally clean out of the washing machine like they used to.
I whish you could provide some recommondations for cruelty free products. I have a really hard time finding a suitable cleanser which is affordable and hasn't been tested on animals.

Hi, you are 100% right the lotion is not hydrating enough for dry skin. We need the cream version. I have added the ordinary rose hip oil to my routine and its amazing!!! I don’t need a moisturiser when i use it at night. I know retinol and Vit C can’t be used together but can all oils be used with acids.
I thought so!! So strange they call out dry skin for that one
It is. Maybe its just for the body? I dunno, i just use it for the days when i don’t use the SA smoothing cream on my legs. Its fine.
Thank you so much!!! I'm teen very new to this stuff and you helped me a lot
Of course 😊♥️
Can you please do a review for elf skin care?? Or a vegan skin care video??🖤🖤
I have already done 2 ELF skincare reviews 😊
Combo/ acne prone skin here! I have been using the Cerave SA cleanser recently and I'm loving it. No irritation, which I sometimes get with other drying products. Speaking of, what are your thoughts on using bakuchiol instead of retinoids for those of us with reactive skin types?
If your skin can’t tolerate retinoids finding something that is better tolerated is definitely a good choice 😊 have you ever tried to use retinoids 1-2x a week on top of moisturizer as a start?
Abbey Yung I have not. Maybe I will give that a shot. Is there a particular kind that you would suggest using for that?
A thicker cream moisturizer is your best best if you have dry skin! Like vanicream or cerave’s
Yes that what I have ..
Does it help with pimples
Mine is Normal but Dry in the t zone and acne prone so I guess combination of some kind?, great video super helpful! :)
Glad to help 😊
Abbey Yung ☺️❤️
I've used the Cerave Hydrating cleanser since 2007.I started using retinoids then for my teenage going into hormonal acne.It works well for those with dehydrated/dry due to treatments skin.I also used the lotion and cream.
The lotion worked well for my dehydrated,flaky sensitized oily skin then and works well with my more balanced combo/seasonally dry/oily skin now
I keep Cliniques DDML on hand because it has never cause an issue with my skin.Even after I was building up my barrier after giving myself chemical burns.
I seem to have some sort of sensitivity to vanicream and cetaphil products.If I use them to often I will break out and develop a rash.
spokenme08 which lotion ? Can u tell the names of what are the products u r using in morning and at night
Seems like my skin is also like yours
Nooo! That’s the first I’ve heard of vanicream not working for someone. What a bummer
@@nachurichz6199 The cerave regular pump lotion.
It depends on what my skin is like in the morning.
I either use the Cerave hydrating, or a Micellar water.
I use a alcohol free witch hazel toner (thyers or Dickson's hydrating) or a thick hydrating one that I press into my skin. (innsfree or Klairs)
I use my cream (Cerave) or lotion (Cerave Pm, regular or Clinique) in my dry places and a gel-cream (Clinique DDMG or Moisture Surge) in my t-zone.
If I am actually getting out of the house I will use sunscreen (I usually use a generic baby one)
I double cleanse at night
I use a cleaning oil, balm or cold cream first then I use my Cerave foaming cleanser
I use my AF witch hazel toner and then layer the thick hydrating one.
I use my retinoid every other night.
I use my Cerave Pm moisturizer then layer a sleeping mask or my cerave ointment where needed.
@@AbbeyYung I haven't tried it in a while.I was surprised myself.
Even a couple of years after giving myself chemical burns my skin still is still off.Having to wear a mask all day at work ,in a kitchen,is not doing me any favors either.
spokenme08 tnx for your reply dear
Minimal Skin care sounds perfect, especially in a world that's constantly, bombarding you with products for this and that! Since the mask, I haven't worn any foundation, just mascara.. why wear lipstick if your lips are covered by a stupid mask? I call it my, "Semi Naturel Look." That Tinted Moisturizer, is a must. Thank you!
I just started trentinoin and I hope my skin looks as good as yours in a year! 🤞🏼❤️
Which brand tretinioin are you using?
Take before photos!! You will be amazed 😍😍
It makes so much sense now. Before I was introduced to skincare my sister got the SA Cleanser and we would use it day and night and we broke out the next day. We thought oh Hyaluronic acid and salicylic acid are really good but we didn’t know it was for VERY acne-prone skin, we just have occasional breakouts, with me having oily and her having dry 😭Thank you so much
Of course! Happy to help
Dry skin, using Curology with .7%Tretinion, 42 so skinhas changed from normal to drier so I use thicker moisturizers now.Great tips !!
Cerave has the tinted hydrating sunscreen spf 30. It is great!!!!
Thank you for this video. It helped me out and I now know better what to do and what to use!😃
Thank youuuu 🖤🖤🖤
Normal skin here😎 it feeels good to have people jealous of you
Haha! So lucky
Thanks for all the tips and recommendations. I'll be getting a tinted sunscreen now.
Of course!
This video was so helpful. Its so tricky and I never know what products to use. So thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you I love my Cerave products and they work really well for me 😗😍🙌💜
Where do you get ur CeraVe products from? I went to Walmart to get the SA Cleanser and I only saw 2 total CeraVe Products and didn’t even see a CeraVe section, although I think they were all sold out cause there were like 5 racks empty
Shivangi Ranjan I use CeraVe products also. I usually buy them at Walmart, but have found that Target has more in stock usually!! Walmart is almost always sold out!!
Nicole Schriever That’s great to hear!! Way too many channels are taking about CeraVe😆. That is a great thing but the bad thing is that they are always out of stock, like what’s happening with the Ordinary, all the good products like the Niacinamide serum are constantly out of stock. I’ll be sure to get it next time I go to target! Thank you so much for your help!!
I buy my Cerave at CVS and Kroger also online. 😍🙌 It works so well on my dry mature skin 🙌🙌😍😍
Lorna Hamm Is it still $10-12? I would think it would be more expensive there, but I’m not sure. I haven’t gone to a CVS or a Kroger in months
Lovely!!!! This was super informative! 🥰 thank you 🙏🏻
Of course 😊
Oily, acne prone, and sensitive skin 😭
Speaking my languageeeee
Your make up today is gorgeous 😍
Just watched a couple of your videos and HOLY SH*T I learned so much! I’m 36 and am just now realizing I should do some research and have an actual skincare routine. Up until now, I’ve been one of those hippies who doesn’t want to use harmful chemicals, so I just used regular bar soap (I know, I know). With extremely oily, mottled, saggy/wrinkly, and hormonal acne skin, I need to make some drastic changes, but didn’t know where to start until now. Thank you!!
Side note: even if you’re not a hippie, check out the Healthy Living app by EWG, which gives safety ratings (and ingredient lists) for tons of products.
I really love her explanation and also the discription site.. so easy to find what we want
Yay so glad ♥️
Site?
That little look after talking about moisturizer. You are not done 🤔 And you are so right. Some people, me, need that drilled in their head 😬
😂😂 not done!! It’s okay it took me awhile too...
Another good video!
Dry sensitive skin here that gets so dehydrated that needs all the extra help it can get!I know is a minimal routine but any rec for any extra step to boost hydration?
Hyaluronic Acid is a great helper! The Ordinary's serum is a good affordable option.
Abbey Yung great! In what step of the routine? Right after cleanser or right before the moisturizer? Heard both- what do you recommend for dehydrated dry skin?
I use micellar water too its amazing
Thanks, Abbey, for another great video!! Very helpful.
So glad ♥️
Cool Minimal Skincare Routine, Abbey!❤️
😊♥️
Hiiiii... I'm just completely new to skin care. Just started today with your video and this was useful information 💖
However I have a silly question that I was hoping you or someone else could help me answering...
When you are applying all of the products, do you have to rinse in between or they go one over the other?
Also, before the cleanser, like in the shower, should we wash our face with like a neutral soap?
Pls remember I'm brand new in this skin care world 😸 I really appreciate the help 💞
Combination, oily forehead and chin when hormonal. They are normal rest of time but top of nose is really dry 😆. Cheeks are dry!
I love your makeup look here.
Oily skin 🙌
When I was staying where it was humid my skincare was working so perfectly for my skin and I rarely broke out. Now that I'm in a dryer place the only thing I can describe my skin as is like crusty as though I never exfoliate and I have little breakouts on my chin like all the time 😑
please someone save me from being doomed to forever have bad skin no matter how well I look after it 😫
Hi Abbey, do you have a am post workout skincare routine video ?
Love this! So well done! Been a subscriber for about a month and have been BINGING your videos haha. I'm a skincare freak too. And you basically described my skincare routine in this video. I used to have more of an elaborate routine in my early to mid 20s but now it's paired down to this and my skin has never been more happy. I have extremely sensitive skin so once I tossed out the "extra products that work beautifully for so many skin types but not mine," my skin thanked me. Sometimes the skin needs less to thrive, and in my case, that was it. Sorry for the long response, love your videos and your personality, so freaking genuine.
Omg this is the sweetest comment! Thank you so much for the love ♥️ us skincare freaks have to stick together 😉
OILY SKIN= CAN'T HANDLE IT I FEEL LIKE IT'S TOO MUCH AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TRIED SO MANY PRODUCTS AND STILL CAN'T CONTROL MY OILY SKIN.
By the way, I totally forgot to mention that I use to wash my face in the morning and evening, but as I have gotten older and my skin has changed I only wash my face in the evening. May sound gross to some, but I noticed when I was washing my face twice a day in my thirties my skin just seemed really dry. Thankfully, I figured it out. I use a gentle toner in the morning to wipe off any residue from lastnight's products, then do my morning moisturizer, and sunscreen twice. My skin is happier since I started that new routine.
Certain cleansers can dry out your skin as well. The Cetaphil foaming cleanser has been horrid to my skin and I’m only 17. I used to have oily type skin and now it’s getting very dry. I’ll have to try your routine and skip the morning cleansing.
For Oily and Sensitive skin pleasee
12 minutes in and looks like a product placement for CeraVe. These cleansers and moisturizers were brutal for my 41 year old combo skin. The brand has comodogenic formulas and some shady marketing (Rob from Mad About Skin is a fantastic resource on this topic).
Cera Ve S/AA cleanser is a great and very effective face face exfoilator 2 or 3 times a week!
I love watching your videos! I am a skincare lover and a Cerave girl for life. Lol! I use the Cerave moisturizing lotion before applying my sunscreen in the morning and I use the Cerave cream in a tub at night. I use mineral oil to get sunscreen and makeup off in the evening, but then of course use my morning/evening cleanser. My skin has changed as I have gotten older, but I am definitely blessed with the skin I have now because I suffered with cystic acne as a teenager. Accutane saved me thank goodness. I've not had issues with acne and oily skin for the longest time. Normal skin for the most part, but have occasional dryness and a pimple during that time of the month. I love Bioderma and Cerave products! They are my to go to products. Looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks for all you do! Take care!
Aww I’m so glad to hear that! Cerave for life is right 😍♥️
Oily dry skin ❤😊
I have oily skin with big pores but at the same time I have dry skin that have flaky areas. I have acne prone skin as well. So am I a more severe combination? I also need to know, what order do I put the products in if it’s the most minimal routine?
same i wish i knew
Omg why didn't I find you earlier!!! Loved the video and just pressed that subscribe button.
Yay so glad you’re here ☺️
Dry Combination Sensitive (my combo skin is more on the dry side) skin here, I have such a hard time with my skin bc sometimes I have days like today where my skin feels balanced and others it's dry and others the T Zone is super oily. I need product recommendations, Cerave works but the results are mediocre and it's not really for me and Clinic doesn't work for me. Please help 😭😭
I have white heads on my cheeks, but my t-zone seems completely fine, rarely I have a tiny pimple. I never had large pimples or pimple breakouts, but I have so many white heads on my cheeks and sometimes forehead. Is that combined skin?
some people with oily skin have dry skin so there face overproduces sebum to compensate
Hi! Awesome video. Have you done one on the best azelaic acid you've found? I prefer azelaic acid to retinoids as it also helps with PIH and is a lot less irritating for my acne.
I’ve only tried the ordinary’s! It’s in my curology prescription so I haven’t been trying more
@@AbbeyYung Nice. I wish I could try the ordinary's but you can only get Finacea (prescription-based azelaic acid 15%) here in Canada. Anyhow, I would definitely recommend looking into azelaic acid and tea tree oil. Both are magic for acne, in my experience.
I have oily skin around my nose and near my eyes and my t-zone but then I have normal skin on my cheeks but I still have a small amount of acne on my cheeks then the most acne I have is on my forehead I have a lot of clogged pores on my nose and near my eyes and my chin has dark spots and feels oily
Hey I just found your channel over the weekend and you are brilliant!! I am 32 and I have dry dehydrated acne prone skin. I am looking for a concealer and finishing powder. I am looking for. A foundation as well but think I found one to try (cover girl + Olay ageless something or another lol) I was using L’Oréal lumi but they just don’t have my color especially for winter. I usually only break out if I wear makeup or around my cycle
Dry and sensitive skin here.
What's a good primer for oily skin would you recommend please? I need something very long-lasting, that really mattifies the skin?
hi abbey how r u ? I've had a minimal routine and been using tretinoin but tret is not for me I get super red and irritated. doctor said I can use differin since it's less irritating but I'm taking a break from it for now. I only use a facial cleanser and moisturizer I'm done with so many steps .thanks doll
I am great! On my morning walk replying to comments- hope you are doing well too 😊 ahhh yes tret is definitely not for everyone! Swapping to differin after your break sounds like a great approach!
@@AbbeyYung awesome thx doll
In the uk, we need a gp referral to see a dermatologist. Unfortunately fine lines aren't acceptable as a medical need 😆 probably could arrange to see one privately but would be crazy expensive 😜
Normal to dry skin here
Dry skin here!!! Probably Extremely DRY!! My T zone is dry and flaky. Especially on the nose, between the eyes, eyebrows Sooooo bad and chin!! The T zone 😊
Hi Abbey I recently started to watch your videos and you are very informative. I been on a hunt for a skin regimen that doesn’t dry my skin or make it to oily. I have very dry skin around my chin, nose and forehead but also I am very oily. I am not sure if I am dry skin type or oily because I get both. I did read somewhere my skin could be producing a lot of oil to keep my face moisturized. I recently bought the Cerave moisturized cleanser and the lotion. But was wondering if I can use the Sa renew or the foaming cleanser at night just because I do wear make up and I like the feel of a fresh clean face. I don’t break out a lot is very one in a while. What would you recommend in this case? I will appreciate a recommendation.
I'd stick with the SA cleanser if you don't breakout often!
you seem to have combo skin
I’m planning on trying Differin. I’ve had hormonal acne since middle school (I’m now 23). Do you have any recommendations for acne scars or large pores? I just came across your videos about an hour ago so I haven’t checked to see if you have a video talking about that. I’m getting married next summer and am hoping to somewhat clear and smooth out my skin by then. Thank you!
Matryxl 3000 on Amazon. Read the reviews. It’s been AMAZING for me. (Same skin issues).
Susana Sunshine thank you! I’ll look for that
Susana Sunshine is it made by the brand Asterwood?
I'm 22 and I've started using adapalene ( Differin ) , it helped me clear my acne. I have oily skin and my dermatologist recommended me to have a simple skincare routine plus adapalene. Also, TO niacinamide would help with PIH.
On the acne scars, there are different types so it's best to consult a dermatologist for that. Topical treatments may not be applicable and you might get laser treatments for the scars. 😄
Differin in itself is amazing for scares & pores! Other ingredients I love are Niacinamide, Vitamin C, AHA’s & Salicylic Acid 💓
What exfoliant would you recommend to people with combination skin
normal skin here! i really need help on what cleansers or moisturizers i should get since people dont really talk about normal skin 😓
right!!!
is you have acne does that necessarily mean you have acne prone skin? i have hormonal acne but from what i know i’ve never had any products make me break out worse, etc. i definitely have sensitive skin which leads to a lot of redness and irritation at times...
I have normal skin and dry skin and a little bit of redness. I also have dry skin around my nose, and sometimes I get pimples. I use the cereve face wash and the cereve moisturizer. What else should I use???
oily skin is the worst!
Do you find that you have issues with your makeup cloths getting more stained/harder to get clean when using the Ponds cold cream? I’ve used about half the jar but now I feel like my cloths are gunked up and not coming totally clean out of the washing machine like they used to.
No!! That’s such a bummer
I whish you could provide some recommondations for cruelty free products. I have a really hard time finding a suitable cleanser which is affordable and hasn't been tested on animals.
Could I use niacinamide 10% + Zinc 2% on dry skin or would you not recommend that ? Please respond if you can !!
