I keep looking for recommendations for skin care products these days. There's no answer.

These days, every time I look in the mirror, I sigh. I don't feel like I've done anything wrong, but my skin is constantly dry, and I feel like I'm in bad condition more often than I am. I used to be able to apply anything without any major issues, but now even the slightest flaw shows through, so I find myself constantly scrolling through articles recommending skin care products.

I often get confused as to whether it's a lack of moisture, a broken skin barrier, or just aging.

If I apply a thick layer of cream, my skin feels heavy, and if I apply a thin layer, my skin feels tight right away. So, I searched for skin care product recommendations and looked at ampoules, essences, and all sorts of things, but I ended up not knowing what to use.

I wish skincare were as simple as I thought it would be, but there are so many products touting their benefits, it's hard to find the right one for my skin, and I'm afraid of changing my routine and ruining it. So, I keep thinking, "Should I just stick with this?" Everyone around me seems to have their own skincare recommendations, but I feel like I haven't settled on one yet, which makes it even more frustrating.

Has anyone else gone through a similar period? If you've tried a variety of skincare products and finally settled on one, I'd be curious to know what prompted you to choose it. In these challenging times, if you have any experiences that have helped you breathe a little easier, please share them.
