Day and Night Cream Recommendation for 26 yr old

[Natalia21]

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of finding a better moisturizer for me. Here is my routine:

AM:

cleanse (Boscia purifying cleanser)

PTR Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream

Biossance Squalane and Vitamin C Rose Oil

YTTP eye cream

PM:

Boscia Detoxifying Black Cleanser

Caudalie Detox Oil

Now what I have come to realize is that since PTR Water Drench moisturizer has Dimethicone, it has caused my pores to get clogged.

Since then I have stopped using it and now I am getting samples in search of a good moisturizer.

Now the difficult part is determining what skin type I am. I used to believe/be told that I am combination. I am definitely not oily but last winter I got dry around my chin area.

Whenever I use the DDG normal peels (I use them every other day) I feel slight tightness but that last a couple of seconds and I feel like I do not need to put anything on afterwards. Not sure if that makes me normal or oily...ugh.

Back to samples of the moisturizer: I got a couple of samples of Caudalie Vine[Activ] 3-in-1 Moisturizer. I really like it and it absorbs quickly. But then I thought that for 1.3 oz for $44 is a little too much.

Recently I got the PTR Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Cream. I used it once so far and I can't say if it is bad or good.

About the night moisturizer, I was told that by simply using an oil is not enough. I need a moisturizer. I was given a sample of YTTP Age Prevention Superfood Cream. Can't say what I think about it since I used it only once.

Any thoughts?

Sorry for the long post.

Also, I was thinking of purchasing Kiehl's masks (the green one, red one and maybe the deep pore one) and eye cream. Is the avocado eye cream better than YTTP?

Laneige water cream or Laneige moisturizer are both great choices.

plus easy on the wallet as well.

very gentle on your skin ,I've sensitive skin I'm able to use it I've yrs.

particularly at your age,where your skin isn't likely as oily... even so all your bases are covered with this great stuff girl!

I really like OleHenrisken Counter Balance Mattifying moisturizer. It feels thick but once you spread it out it absorbs super quick. Plus it doesn't leave your skin greasy-shiny after. I use this in the morning, and Kiehl's Ultra Facial Deep Moisture Balm at night. They both are dimethicone free, and leave my skin super soft and hydrated.

Your routine sounds a lot like mine and I'm 26. I just finished a large container of PTR cloud cream as a day moisturizer then discovered tarte's rainforest of the sea moisturizer which I personally prefer over PTR for a gel moisturizer, but for day only. Also I loved algenist genius cream for day and night.

I don't see any exfoliation or toner in your routine. Exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week and add toner to both daily and nightly routine (after cleanse/ exfoliate) would help a lot cleaning out pores and balancing your skin, helping your skin to absorb any other products you put on after better. I'm 25 and I'm buying my 3rd PTR water drench cloud cream, it hasn't give me any clogged pores or bumps. Again this is my opinion personally but I hope it helps

She uses the Dr Dennis Gross peel pads for exfoliation

Ps sorry....

but I must jump in & add something.

i find,now IM JUST SAYING FROM MY OWN PERSPECTIVE ( blessed w only mildly sensitive skin ONLY...OF UK origin)

In the case of moisturizer you just MIGHT be overkilling it.

thus wise your pores are getting clogged" as you stated.

plus if your using that long,long list of products on your face AM & PM 

im not shocked,really.

less,truly in the skin game is more.

its just finding the right ones for YOU.

i only use 4 things.

my skin routine takes 10 mins tops.

anyways,left you a idea for moisturizer you may like to try I've used successfully.

please,take care of your skin!
