my 4 product routine that finally calmed everything

after years of overthinking: 1. gentle non-foaming cleanser (AM + PM) 2. low strength tret (PM, 2-3x/wk ramping) 3. fragrance free moisturizer (AM + PM) 4. zinc spf 40 (AM) that's it. that's the post. stopped chasing every new ingredient. skin reliably calm for the first time in 10 yrs.
