Hi Girl! My skin barrier completely crashed, and it was a red, irritated nightmare. I was so desperate for a solution.

But I finally found a routine that brought my skin back to life in just 6 days!

1. Hada Labo Oil Cleanser

Switched from double-cleansing with face washes to oil cleansing—total game changer! It removes makeup and dirt without stripping my skin.

2. Paula’s Choice Anti-Redness Solution

Powerful but tricky. Overused it and damaged my barrier. Limit to twice a week, and if you're sensitive like me, apply after moisturizer to reduce irritation.

3. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+

Lightweight and targets breakouts. I use it on problem areas during the day, followed by a light moisturizer. Still get flare-ups, but this helps calm them down.

4. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+

Super thick but soothing. I use it as my main moisturizer when my skin feels dry, tight, or flaky. Heals and hydrates like magic.

5. Neutrogena Acne Spot Treatment

This one’s got 2.5% benzoyl peroxide—enough to zap pimples without burning. Way gentler than the stuff I used before.

Healing your skin takes more than just good products—it’s also about balance and patience!
