My Skincare Routine
When it comes to my skin, I prefer to use less products out of fear of a breakout, allergy, etc. I have very oily yet sensitive skin and these are the products I have found out work best for my skin.

Exfoliators
CLINIQUE's 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula
I primarily use CLINIQUE's 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula for every day use. This product got introduced to my skincare routine a few months ago when I got it as a gift. Zero breakouts or dry skin.

DERMA-E's Purifying Daily Detox Scrub
Every 2-3 days, I use DERMA-E's Purifying Daily Detox Scrub as it really leaves my pores clean. Unfortunately, due to the sensitivity of my skin, I can only use it every 2-3 days.

Cleansers
DERMA-E's Hydrating Facial Alkaline Cloud Cleanser is my cleanser of choice and I typically use it before or after exfoliating.

Face Cream
I have reviewed DERMA-E's Vitamin E 12,000 IU Cream before here. This is the only cream that keeps my skin healthy without breakouts or allergy. I've been using it for years so I can vouch for this product personally. While this cream can be used for the body as well, I primarily use it on my face and neck.
Ingredients: Purified Water, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Glycerin (Vegetable Derived), Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Cetyl Alcohol (Plant Derived), Stearic Acid (Vegetable Derived), Glyceryl Stearate (Vegetable Derived), Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Helianthus, *Annuus (Sunflower) Oil, Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Allantoin, Cetearyl Glucoside, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate (Vegetable Derived), Polysorbate 60, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Natural Fragrance Oils.
While I'm still in the process of experimenting with new products, these are the tried and tested ones that work for me.
