I recommend home care products~ haha

Yesterday, I was taking the elevator home from work, and the overhead light was unusually bright that day. I absentmindedly glanced in the mirror and was shocked to see my pores and dull skin tone looking much more prominent than usual. I'd meticulously applied my makeup in the morning, but by afternoon, it had all worn off, leaving my skin looking dull and flaky. I realized it was time for some serious skin care, so I sat down at my vanity as soon as I got home from work and carefully examined my skin. Since expensive dermatological procedures are both time-consuming and expensive, I'm looking to invest in some cost-effective home care products that I can use consistently at home. I used to think just lathering on basic skincare was enough, but I feel like my skin's absorption rate is declining, and I desperately need tools or products that can make a real difference. What home care products do you usually use when your skin condition suddenly drops? I usually focus on brightening and improving skin texture, and I'd love to hear about products that are gentle but still visibly effective. Any recommendations for effective home care products that I can use for a long time without getting tired of? For those of you who prefer to manage your hair at home like me, could you share your know-how on what routine you usually follow?
