Suggestions for a skin care routine?

I am 26 and have combination skin, meaning a combination of a little bit of every problem. I have a little bit of dryness, a little bit of oiliness, a little bit of sun damage, a little bit of fine lines, a little bit of breakouts, and slightly enlarged pores. My main concerns with my face are to make it look brighter, tighter, and reduce the pores. The acne and oiliness are less worrisome to me.

Anyway, I have used a lot of products and I just have never quite found a routine that seems to truly make a difference. I'm willing to be spendy with skincare. My favorites so far have been Aveda and Clinique, but I just haven't found the right combination of products. I also like to do masks and chemical peels here and there.

I was hoping that I could get some suggestions of specific products to use and how. Again, I am happy to consider high end products, and would actually prefer not to bother with drugstore stuff. I feel like I've already tried most of that.

I would really appreciate if someone could even give me an example of a full morning and night skincare routine including specific products that might be helpful.

Thanks!

    Use different products on different parts of your face. For example, you may need lighter-weight gels, liquids, or oil-absorbing products for your T-zone and lotions or creams for the drier parts of your face. Or it could mean using an acne treatment over areas where you breakout and moisturizers only over drier areas, including around the eyes.

    1. Start with a gentle cleanser.

    2. Use a toner to repair skin.

    3. Use sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage.

    4. Exfoliate to remove built-up skin cells.

    I would have suggested you some products too but skin types vary and what works on me might not work for you. So, choose what's best for you. Hope I helped!
