haha, kssweetheart wrote majority of what I was going to write, so, I second her response. Make sure to use a good SPF during the day and start adding an eye cream to your regimen, especially if you like to smile/laugh like me. =O

 

Me is 23 also. We don't need to splurge on serums, peels and all those anti-aging treatment yet. If you have the grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side symptom like me and want to try some anyways, I suggest keeping an eye out for online promo code of them (7days, benefiance, ptrserum) so this way you get to try them for fun without spending huge money or pressure of too much product.

 

The best thing you can do is finding lightweight moisturizers with extra benefits. There are now many moisturizers with SPF for oily skin, or very lightweight. I use Bliss Fabulous SPF 15, Origin Perfect World UV Protector SPF35, and Supergoop SPF...something I forgot. Those are super lightweight and won't break you out. For night moisturizer, I like Bliss Oxygen+C gel cream, which is sorta like Clinique yellow gel in that it's sorta runny and they suggest rubbing it into the skin until it dissappears. I like it because it pushes out all the oil from in the skin so I wake up with an oily face, but once I wipe off the oil on top (gentle rub with damp towel), my skin is matte instead of oily underneath and moisturizers sinks in better. For eye cream, I recommend Origins Eye Doctor, a lightweight cream that's refreshing and sinks in fast. If it's not moisturizing enough, try Clinique All About Eyes. If it's too moisturizing, try any of the rollerballs.

I use Origins Vitazing in the mornings, which has a 15 spf. I will try the ones you listed!

The Bliss Oxygen+C sounds a little scary. I hate waking up with a oil slick, it tends to break me out.

I am looking for an eye cream though. I am using Clinique all about eyes but i feel like its not moisturizing enough. So I'll look into Origins eye doctor.

Haha, well the first time I used it I just smooth some over my face and it's just like Clinique Moisturizing Gel, then I saw the direction for rubbing it in for 30 sec, so I apply it to my cheeks and forehead separately and rubbed it in until it dried (~10 sec) and woke up with my face feeling oily/shiny. I was worried I was going to break out but I didn't! The main difference is that other moisturizers that give me greasy face, when I wipe with damp towel, my skin still feel greasy/oily, but when I wipe after this moisturizer, my skin feel clean/matte like it pushed out the oils in the pores so there's nothing to block the pores and causing acne. Thus my morning moisturizer sinks in better and don't look as oily/shiny as when I use other night moisturizers. SPF15 is fine normally, but if you are going to be outdoor all day or for long period of time, I suggest using SPF25-35. (moisturizers with SPF higher than 35 tend to be greasy and/or leaves a white film, so for 90-110F days out in the sun, I would suggest whatever lightweight moisturizer you like, then add a sunscreen serum with SPF50-70 on top like Supergoop or Clarins or something).

Clinique feels a bit thick like it leaves a protective layer on the skin but doesn't really sink in, Origins eye doctor feels refreshing because you can almost feel it sink into your skin and leave no greasy/sticky or protective layers on top. At least that's how it is for me.
