👋 Struggling with acne-prone skin? You're not alone! I asked Gemini AI for a recommended skincare routine, and let's just say...it needs some tweaking! 😂
In this video, I'm testing out the AI-generated routine and sharing my honest review. Does it work? Spoiler alert: not entirely. We'll break down each product, discuss what did and didn't work for my moderate acne-prone skin, and I'll share my own holy grail products that actually deliver results.

| AI RECOMMEND ME ACNE PRONE SKINCARE ROUTINE |
Here's the results:
Understanding Your Skin:
Oil Production: Hot, humid weather can exacerbate oil production.
Clogged Pores: This excess oil can lead to clogged pores and acne breakouts.
Hydration: Even oily skin needs hydration, but it's essential to use lightweight, non-comedogenic products.
Your Routine:
1. Double Cleansing:
o Oil-based cleanser: Remove makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil.
o Water-based cleanser: Deeply cleanse pores.
2. Exfoliation:
o Chemical exfoliant (twice a week): Use a gentle exfoliant with ingredients like BHA (salicylic acid) or AHA (alpha-hydroxy acids) to unclog pores and prevent breakouts.
3. Toner:
o Alcohol-free toner: Balance pH and soothe skin.
4. Essence:
o Hydrating essence: Provide extra moisture without feeling heavy.
5. Serum:
o Niacinamide serum: Helps regulate oil production and reduce inflammation.
6. Moisturizer:
o Lightweight, gel-based moisturizer: Hydrate without clogging pores.
7. Sunscreen:
o Broad-spectrum sunscreen: Protect skin from harmful UV rays.
Product Recommendations:
Cleansers: Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser, Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil
Exfoliants: Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid, Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Toners: Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner, Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel
Essences: Sk-II Facial Treatment Essence, COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Serums: The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster
Moisturizers: Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
Sunscreens: Bioderma Photoderm SPF 50+, La Roche-Posay Anthelios Sunscreen SPF 50+
Additional Tips:
Keep it simple: Avoid overloading your skin with too many products.
Listen to your skin: If a product causes irritation, discontinue use.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
Diet and lifestyle: A healthy diet and adequate sleep can also impact skin health.
Remember: Consistency is key. Stick to your routine and give your skin time to adjust. If you have severe acne or other skin concerns, consult a dermatologist.
➡️ The AI-Generated Routine (and why it might NOT work for you):
Gemini suggested the following products, but some were a MISS for me:
Cleansers: Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser (TOO DRY!), Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil (A winner! 👍)
Exfoliants: Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid (Didn't do much), Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant (Pricey, but effective)
Toners: Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner (Okay), Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel (Okay)
Essences: SK-II Facial Treatment Essence (So expensive!), COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence (Okay)
Serums: The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (Broke me out!), Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster (Too pricey)
Moisturizers: Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream (Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream is BETTER!), CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (Expensive in Asia)
Sunscreens: Bioderma Photoderm SPF 50+ (Expensive), La Roche-Posay Anthelios Sunscreen SPF 50+ (A winner! 👍)
On the routine:
In my opinion it is a general guide.
The 7 steps does include exfoliation which is important for acne prone skin.
Sunscreen is also good to protect the skin.
As for the toner, essence, serum or moisturiser , it is probably wasteful to use all 4 steps instead of just choosing one.
