Like many skin-care success origin stories, Snattatack revealed in the post that she really started getting into skincare back in September 2018. However, she claims that she did ‘everything you aren’t supposed to do’ in the beginning. The only thing she was doing right during that time frame, she says, was taking pictures of her progress.
“I started using a bunch of new products at once without patch testing (including a glycolic acid toner twice a day from the get go),” she wrote in the post. “I flitted around between different products if they didn’t seem to do anything after only a week of use,” she added.
After months of experimentation, Snattattack told her fellow Redditors that she has finally found the routine that currently works for her. Lucky for us, she already shared her eight-product routine, and we can’t say we aren’t obsessed.
In the morning: it’s a simple wash with water, and then applying on some applying on some CeraVe Moisturizing Cream ($14.50). She then follows with the EAD Sunscreen SPF 50.
At night she washes with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser ($19 for a two-pack), and pats moisture away with a microfiber towel. Then, she applies on the same CeraVe moisturizing cream she uses in the morning, as well as Duac Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, the Revolution Blemish And Pore Refining Serum 10% Niacinamide + 1% Zinc ($7) and some of the Superdrug optimum retinol booster drops.
Snattatack’s amazing routine definitely proves that finding the right regimen can require a bit of experimentation and some patience. Her successful journey also proves that good skincare doesn’t have to cost a fortune either, especially since many of her products fall within a reasonable price point range.
