I’m a 38-year-old with sensitive, acne-prone skin who’s spent most of my life battling cystic breakouts—now joined by fine lines (because apparently, you can have both).

This is my honest skincare diary: the hits, the misses, and everything in between. I test products and routines so you don’t have to. If you’re looking for real reviews, ingredient-aware picks, and a little humor along the way—you’re in the right place.
