I use vaseline to remove eye makeup. Extra bonus because it can help your lashes grow. For the rest of my makeup I use this cleansing oil. It eats through it all so fast.
Honestly, Shoppers Life Brand version of Spectro Gel is amazing - not drying at all and cleans well. I find Spectro has too much silica in it. For cleansing oil I like the Kose oils - this one is really nice, cleans well and rinses off well too.
Hi guys, I've been loving AB for about a year now but I haven't stuck to one routine for more than a few months at a time, mainly due to travel and addiction to trying new things 馃槄 I'm sorry for the epic novel to follow, skip to the bottom if you want. I'm just so tired of dealing with crap skin!
I've had a horrible breakout in the last few months on my back that I can't seem to shake. I don't know why. I got back on the pill after being off it for several months in the hopes of fixing the breakout; it's helping a little but I'm only just starting my second month back on the pill so it might take a while to see results.
Of more concern to me is a new cystic breakout along my jawline--I haven't had such sore acne in years. I'm 19 and I've gotten my acne a lot better under control thanks to the pill and PocketDerm (don't like the name Curology lol) but I've dealt with it in varying forms of severity since like 6th grade.
Before the cysts (bear with me here!) were all these closed comedones, as well as tiny white marks on my face--some raised, some not--which are either CCs or scars, I'm not sure. I plan to eventually get laser treatment because I hate the texture of my skin and all the PIH I have but I want to make sure I'm stopping new breakouts before I spend a ton of money on treating old scars.
So basically I've stripped down my routine to complete, tried and true basics in the hopes of not irritating my skin and making sure nothing's breaking me out. And yet I have like three whiteheads on one side of my face near my mouth and cystic acne on my jawline and near my temples. Nothing has changed in my lifestyle, I haven't added anything new to my routine...please give me any ideas or product suggestions!
TLDR my skin is somewhat freaking out, may be hormonal but I want help setting up a routine to help my moisture barrier, acne, and PIH

I used to use Korres Wild Rose 24-HR Brightening and Moisturizing Cream at night too but I stopped because I stopped everything I thought might be irritating.
I specifically want help with rebuilding my moisture barrier, calming down current and stopping future breakouts, and maybe adding an exfoliant or Vitamin C to my routine...any advice?
New to Reddit so I apologize in advance if my post looks a bit off.
My first AB purchase was a bottle of Kose White cleansing oil on Oct 1st that I bought off Amazon from the seller Samurai Japan and it finally came last Tuesday. My bottle looks just like the Amazon listing picture.

I'm having trouble getting it to emulsify and wash off clean.I apply 1-2 pumps dry as an oil, massage, and when I add water it turns into a sticky white mess. It feels like trying to wash off a thick layer of Vaseline with water. The only way I have managed to get it off is to wipe it onto a washcloth or a paper towel. I have tried wetting my hands to just add a little water to emulsify and I have tried going all in straight to washing my face both to the same result. I have also tried shaking the bottle. In addition, I have tried adding the cleansing oil to wet hands and it does turn milky and wash off but in between my fingers, which were not as wet, it became the white glue. I have pictures if it helps of my right hand when I applied it dry then added water and it turned white and sticky and of my left hand where I added the oil straight to wet hands and this looks how I believe it should look, milky and non-sticky.

I haven't been able to find other threads where people have had the same problem so are there any tips to getting this cleansing oil to emulsify, or is it because it spent too long in customs, or did I just get a bad bottle? Thanks for the help.
Those should be fine to combine. If you choose to try multiple, you may want to stagger them out to get a feel for which works best for you, since everyone's skin is its own special little snowflake. Or you can YOLO it and pile them all on, if you want.
Vitamin C does help (I really like the OST C20), and AHA/BHA exfoliants help fade hyperpigmentation spots. However, you have to be careful with those because they can mess up your skin if you overuse them. So I wouldn't jump in with them until you know your skin's in good enough shape to take harsher products.
It's generally recommended to reapply sunscreen every two hours if you're getting constant sun exposure or being active. If you're inside most of the day (away from windows, or with coated windows) and not sweating a lot, though, you are probably okay.
Oh yeah, and wash your face at the end of the day if you use sunscreen. Sunscreens are formulated to stay on your face for a while, so an oil cleanser will break them down. (This cleansing oil supposedly has a whitening effect, but I don't see any ingredients that would make that happen.)
