by the evening, i have some redness around my face - located mostly on my cheekbone (under the eye), center of forehead, and some on my chin. after i wash my face and do my skincare routine the redness will be even more obvious, along with some bumps that look almost like the beginning stage of a pimple but the redness and bumps will clear up by morning and during the day. sometimes it might feel a little irritated, or the line where my lips meet skin will. over time i've tried to see if it will change based off of my products, routine, environment, pillowcase etc but nothing seems to effect it very much - it's just very persistent. i don't treat my skin too badly i don't think (don't rub it or massage it too hard, try not to touch it, not too hot or too cold water, no long showers) but nothing has worked.
should i consider my skin more sensitive than it has been in the past ? this has been going on for a long time but i don't remember it always being like this. sorry if this was so long !

redness

it&#39;s a small jar and pricier than other similar products

a nice hydrating product - it&#39;s a nice texture so i would use a single layer as lip balm throughout the day or a thicker layer as a mask overnight

the exfoliation didn&#39;t seem to do anything for me, even throughout extended usage. my pores didn&#39;t have any noticeable difference which was the draw to this toner in the first place to me personally

it was hydrating and soothing, and i liked the texture - a bit slimy&#47;sticky but watery enough that it soaked in quickly

it felt a bit greasy to me and didn&#39;t absorb as quickly into the skin as i would prefer. due to this i do not enjoy the feeling of layering this or using it with too many other products

very hydrating, it did the job in the winter

even though it&#39;s a gel, it doesn&#39;t seem to spread as much as some other moisturizers so i could never get away with only using a little. it also leaves a bit of what looks like residue, a bit oily so it would work best in the pm

a great no frills, lightweight moisturizer! good for layering too

only good for when you have a bare face since it&#39;s so gentle

a gentle, basic cleanser - looks almost milky on the face  once you start cleansing
