Ok long and short of it. I have ADHD and no desire to have a ten step regimen. And even if I did I wouldn’t consistently keep up with it. I also work a job that involves me being outside in heat and cold and in an way that involves working with gross things so I get disgusting on a daily basis.
I have combo skin with my t zone being a gross ass oil pit. I currently wash with corsx low pH cleanser and love it. I don’t use toner (used to but havent seen a difference in using it verses not) and am trying to find a daily moisturizer.
I have tried Cetaphul in the green bottle. It was okay but I don’t love the feel of it and still felt dry in some places and oil in others
I have tried Aveeno for redness (I do have some redness and my mom has rosacea) and it feels nice but an hour or two after using my forehead feels very oily again
And I have tried Neutrogena Hydrogel and boy I love the feel but the product seems to not be very hydrating and I still end up with an oily forehead prior to work and getting sweaty.
What are some other options? The reviews on everything seem so mixed that I don’t know where to go from here.
If you happen to have a Trader Joe’s nearby, I’ve been liking their “Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer”, although sometimes it feels a little too light for winter. I also sometimes use the CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizer, but that one can sometimes leave me feeling kinda greasy after a while. I’m traveling and using a different face wash at the moment, so I don’t know how much of my issues with the CeraVe moisturizer are due to the face wash vs the climate, because I don’t recall it ever feeling greasy back home, but I only started using it a few months ago.
