Reviews of reducing the number of cosmetics and improving skin texture

In the past, I used to apply toner, essence, ampoule, lotion, and cream, but it made my skin feel like it couldn't breathe, and I often got breakouts. So these days, I'm on a "cosmetic diet," applying just three products.

I just use a toner to smooth out my complexion, then a high-content ampoule, and then finish with a cream that forms a moisture barrier. By reducing the number of products I use, absorption actually improves, and my skin seems to gain the ability to regulate its own oil production.

Applying a lot of expensive products isn't necessarily better. The key is to apply just enough to your skin's capacity. For those who frequently experience unexplained breakouts, I recommend reducing the amount you apply.
