Why is skincare so complicated man

[EdouardManlet]

Been cleaning and moisturizing daily (switching out the face wash for an exfoliator once a week) since my late teens and it has kept my skin looking decent. Want to take it to the next level so i looked online and was bombarded with words i swear I haven't heard once in my entire life.

"Ok so what you want to do is cleanse your face with a deep pore rejuvenation product, sans surfactant on mondays and pat dry before applying a serum, i recommend getting one that has the consistency of toothpaste. Then straight after you want to apply a hydrator something ideally with x y z ingredients. Then apply a sealant with some SPF, make sure it is rated for UVA and UVB... on Tuesdays you wan..."

What the fuck am i supposed to do with this information bitch?

All I'm doing is cleanser at night >retinA, then morning moistruizer. Only done it for like 4 days tho

its not , tretinoin at night, sunscreen when outside during tthe day, you can also apply matrixyl during the day.

Microneedle it once in a while and that's it . Peels are a bonus but should be also used once in a while.

I just wash my face everyday and it's stayed completely clear.

don't take advice from redditors i went over to some skincare subreddits once and the information in there was fucking autistic, way too much detail and buzzwords. textbook occam's razor

just use tretinoin if you have skin problems. if you don't, moisturize after showering and use face wash every morning. exfoliate once a week and use sunscreen when going outside on hot sunny days... that's basically it.
