Evaluate my skin regiment.

After joining this site I found out that there are better products out there for my skin than the "crap" at Walmart.

After some careful consideration i decided to purchase some Kiehl's products.

I ordered these products:
1. facial fuel energizing face wash
2. facial fuel energizing scrub
3. ultra facial moisturizer SPF 15

My skin type is combination. I have a moderately oil forehead and the rest of my face is normal to dry. And i am 28 if that is a factor.

Before using kiehls my face was bland at most. Dull...some smile lines and very faint forehead wrinkles. I dont have severe acne but I will get an occasional zit every now and then.

I have been using these kiehls products religiously for about 3 months and my face i think has gotten worse. The wrinkles on my forehead are getting deeper by the day and so are my smile lines.

Also I am breaking out more and my face looks even more dull and fatiqued.

I get plenty of sleep...drink over a gallon of water a day and exercise regularly so these changes are not being brought on by my lifestyle.

I am tempted to switch products but not sure what I should try. A lot of people rave about the Clinique 3 step system and also about MenScience products. Decisions...decisions...

And also is there any other products/treatments I can add into the mix to improve my skins appearance. I use a cheap St. Ives mask twice a week but i dont notice any difference.

I have read about retin-a, copper peptides, micro-dermabrasion kits, etc...

Any info from you guys would be great.

Thanks!!!

Has your diet changed? Perhaps you are over doing it on the products. They can be a real hit or miss for different people.

sorry...wrong section.

will post in correct section.

Nope. My diet has not changed in about 10 years. I am very consistant with that. I eat very clean and healthy.

I only use the cleanser 2x daily. The scrub 3x a week. And the moisturizer in morning and evening. And I dont slather on a lot of it either.

I am hoping it is just the products. And I am hoping that the damage can be reversed.

You don't need a whole regiment. A battalion should suffice.
