[Misc] Who's still here years later with no improvement

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi!It's been about two years now.I've tried just about anything and everything (including 3-4 months of the most benign babying routine) and my skin is actually worse than it ever was before I came here. If someone has recommended it on here or AB, I've tried it.Where do you go next? Is it possible that it's just hormonal, and no amount of topicals/routine is ever gonna budge it?Because I can tell you with 100% confidence, that no product I have ever tried has made any positive difference at all to my face. It's not sensitive skin, it's not over exfoliated, it's not dehydrated. It's just broken.Here are some pics, graphic warning.https://i.imgur.com/yLIaffG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jL52jAt.jpg https://i.imgur.com/N8ztW3u.jpgThe photos actually make it look a little worse than it is.My current routine is as follows:AM: Cerave Hydrating, Hada Labo Gokujyun Lotion, Cerave Facial Moisturising Lotion w/ SPF 25PM: Cerave Hydrating, Hada Labo, Cerave in the tubEvery 4 days, I am now using NIP+FAB Glycolic Extreme pads (AHA/BHA combo). I reintroduced these last week as they were the only active I didn't give fair trial (3 weeks I lasted last time?). Currently no improvement, maybe purging.p.sI'm fairly certain tretinoin is responsible for my now worse skin. It doesn't work for everyone, and I'm glad it worked for those who did, but retinoids have irreparably ruined my skin. I never rushed in. I was never irritated. The purge never ended, and now, months after stopping, it's like my skin structure is fundamentally different to what it was before.
