I don't have the best skin genetics. My facial skin quickly becomes oily and has large pores. It's been like this since puberty and now I'm in my late twenties. I still have to be very careful not to get a lot of pimples. I would describe my skincare routine as good:

AM: cleaning skin, sun protection, mattifying cream

PM: cleaning skin, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, tretinoin

Are there any stronger options for me? Treatments at the beautician/cosmetican? Laser treatment?

Once I applied toothpaste to my face, think it might have helped, but it started to really burn after 5 minutes.

Use niacinamide 10% and zinc 1% from the ordinary for oily skin and supplement vitamin b5 as it regulates sebum production.
AND Why are you mixing retinol with vitamin c??

Just visit dermatologist

good add, once a week do an AHA/BHA peel from the ordinary

Which products are you using?
SPF should be the last thing you use.
Move vitamin C to the morning.
Tret should go on freshly cleaned skin.
Have you tried niacinamide and/or a salicylic acid product?

Thanks for the reply!

Everything from "The Ordinary" except the SPF, it's from "La Roche"
Why SPF at the end and vitamin c in the morning?
I used niacinamide, will buy it again.
Are there some more "hardcore" ways i could go?

your skincare routine makes noo sense+? why are you doing hyaluronic acid during AM? also, i'm pretty sure you cant mix vitamin c and retin a

PM

 

[Good_Little_Goy]

Routine makes zero sense, cant use tretinoin and vit c together

follow benignices order

AM - cleanse - vit c - HA - moisturiser - spf
PM - cleanse - tretinoin - 20-30mins - moisturiser

AM - cleanse - vit c - HA - moisturiser - spf

I'll try it tomorrow morning. However, I am sure that all of these products will make my skin look oily.

Did for me tbh, if that’s an issue replace the vit c with niacinamide, solved it for me

SPF should be at the end because the whole point of it is to create an even layer across your face to protect the skin. If you're putting stuff on top its going to get moved around.
Vitamin C in the morning because it will minimise any irritation that might be caused from using it alongside tret, it tends to generally make the skin look good so using it just on an evening could be considered a wasted opportunity, and because it has slight photoprotective effects when combined with SPF.
There likely are, but I'm not really the one to be recommending those- they're not my area of expertise.
