[B&A] 4 year Skincare Journey

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm not sure how to link photos so if this link doesn't work let me know and I can try to update it: https://imgur.com/a/vzswRMQNote: I saw a dermatologist when I was at my worst and have been prescirbed doxycycline, minocycline and prednisone multiple times. There is no other medication I was prescribed and all of the photos included in the B&A can be attributed to either changes in my routine or my hormones balancing out in age (17-22).Routine:Oil-Based Cleanser: Hanskin Pore Cleansing Oil - BHAWater-Based Cleanser: CeraVe Foaming CleanserToner: COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner OR their Original Clear Toning Pads (if I go to the gym)Essence: COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power EssenceTreatments: The Ordinary Hylaluronic Acid 2% + B5 during the day, I use the Lactic Acid 10% + HA at night IF I don't use Dr. Dennis Gross' Extra Strength Daily Peel (I know it says daily, no I don't use it daily because it's $$$)Eye Cream: The INKEY List Caffeine Eye SerumMoisturizer: COSRX Oil Free Moisturizing Lotion unless I feel really dry/stressed, then I use Dr. Dennis Gross Stress Repair Face Cream (a little goes a LONG way)Sun Protection: innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 36 There are some other things I use, but this is a condensed list of products I use in my routine. I'm happy to answer any questions about my personal experience with products.Note regarding routine: The Routine above does change a bit depending on the day and treatment use. For example, the peel pads are used BEFORE the toner and everything following the toner. I just consider it a treatment of sorts so I lumped it in with the rest. I am aware that some of the products on my list are (1) expensive or (2) hard to find but I mostly go to TJ Maxx/Marshalls for COSRX productsFinal Note: For the most part, I only get hormonal acne and it's 2-3 pimples which I use pimple patches for. Currently, I am trying to treat for hyperpigmentation/uneven skin tone.Edit to include skin type + skin concerns + extra info: I have an oily/combo skintype moreso combo in winter because dry air. My skin concerns are hyperpigmentation (now) but it used to be managing hormonal acne. I still break out ~2-3 pimples for 1 week of a month (gee wonder when) but it's much more manageable. That being said, I don't really rely on a special diet nor have I cut anything out that I used to eat/enjoy. The only other thing I've done differently is sleep on a satin pillowcase...but that's more for my hair than my face.
