Updated skincare routine that helped my textured forehead.
Here's my post 2 years ago about my textured forehead and skincare routine. Although I saw improvements when I changed products, after some time, babalik yung bumps sa forehead pati yung dryness and itchiness. 😭 What I think went wrong: My sunscreen, since may alcohol component pala si Biore, I think ito talaga naging cause ng dryness sa forehead ko. Altho yes maganda yung velvet finish, pero laging dry yung forehead ko. Pwede din na nasira talaga yung skin barrier ko when I tried some products (Cosrx cleanser and Human Nature toner 😭) way back before that post pa. Pwede din na hindi moisturizing enough yung Klued for me.
So I changed ALL of the products I used. Pero I introduced the products slowly. For example, may new product, gagamitin ko muna for 1-2 weeks bago ako mag introduce ng bago.
Here's my updated skin care routine that I tried for more than A YEAR bago ako mag introduce ng retinol cream 😂 Sobrang takot ako mag retinol kasi nga baka masira nanaman skin barrier. I use retinol cream 2-3x a week only.

For the attached photo, taken indoor with minimal sunlight from the window and apologies if I have already applied my sunscreen and moisturizer. With this routine, never na ako nagkaroon ng dryness and itchiness sa forehead. I only started using retinol cream this February 2026 and mas nag improve pa skin ko. In a way na nareduce talaga yung fine lines, feeling ko mas may glow na din yung skin. Take note ha, reduced ang fine lines or wrinkles, hindi naman completely nawala dahil botox lang ata makakagawa nyan 😊 But overall I am happy with the results. 🫶🏻 Hope this helps!
