[Skin Concern] My skin got totally f*cked up from using one product last year (pimples and redness) It’s been more than a year and still hasn’t recovered.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi! I feel like a skincare newbie even though I’ve been using a cleanser, toner and moisturizer for more than 15 years! I never really found my favourite product. My skin is very, very oily but also sensitive. Normally It is NOT prone to breakouts.My main concerns are the redness, red spots, red pimples and hyperpigmentation from where my pimples healed. I had smooth skin all my adult life (prone to irritation but no acne). Then it all changed in early 2020 when I started getting the worst breakouts since middle school. All because of a powder foundation.I use a ton of sunscreen so I know it can’t be sunburn. But my skin is red all over and full of red spots. Even my CeraVe moisturizer stings. Most stuff from CosRX stings.My routine is pretty simple. It always looks like the following:AM * Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Micellar Cleansing Foam 2X (great cleasing power but will not be repurchasing due to strong scent)Rose-Scented Witch Hazel Toner (discontinued few days ago)CeraVe PM Lotion (this stuff stings!)Biore Aqua Rich Watery Gel (enough to make me look like a clown)PMRound Lab Cleansing OilGarnier CornFlower Miscellar WaterInnisfree Super Volcanic Pore Micellar Cleansing Foam 2X (great cleasing power but will not be repurchasing due to strong scent)Rose-Scented Witch Hazel Toner (discontinued few days ago)CeraVe PM Lotion (this stuff stings!)Either The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% OR Paula’s Choice Azelaic Acid (both are really good at reducing my acne but not good enough to fade out my acne and redness)Products that don’t work for meAny drugstore cleansers, toners and moisturizers (Aveeno, Neutrogena, Garnier, L’Oreal and Nivea have all irritated my skin to extreme and made my eyes water like I’ve been chopping onions all day)Most things from CosRX. I don’t know HOW but my skin has either reacted badly to most things from CosRX or their products don’t work as advertised.American sunscreens make me break out and turn my face red! I started crying when I used sunscreens from Neutrogena and Garnier Ombrelle. I’m wondering if it’s octocrylene?On the other hand, my skin has not reacted to The Ordinary. I’ve used several products from them. The only product that has irritated me is their HA Moisturizing Factors.I do not like strong, scented products.I am sensitive to citrus essential oils.
