My Full Skincare Routine

Summary

Hasan describes his personal morning and evening skincare routine, while noting that it may change. He says he takes isotretinoin (Accutane), which makes his skin and lips dry.

Morning Routine

• Washes with CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser to remove overnight sweat and residue.
• Applies 20% azelaic acid cream, which he uses mainly for hyperpigmentation and inflammation.
• Uses CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion, preferring a lighter moisturizer that dries quickly.
• Applies SPF 50 sunscreen. He emphasizes sun protection as the most important skincare step and recommends choosing a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
• Reapplies Aquaphor Healing Ointment to his lips during the day because of dryness from isotretinoin.

Evening Routine

• Cleanses with the same CeraVe cleanser.
• Alternates between 4% hydroquinone cream and 0.1% tretinoin cream, rather than using both on the same night, because he finds the combination irritating.
• Applies a thicker layer of CeraVe moisturizer for overnight hydration.
• Coats his lips with a generous layer of Aquaphor before bed, which he says helps keep them moisturized through the night.
• Says he also uses injectable GHK-Cu.

Planned Changes and Personal Claims

• Plans to switch from azelaic acid cream to 20% azelaic acid gel, citing its absorption and the cream’s tendency to flake.
• Says he may add topical estriol and switch from tretinoin to tazarotene.
• Reports taking 40 mg of isotretinoin daily and several supplements, and says his liver tests are healthy. He also discusses hydroquinone’s effects based on his own recent experience.
