[Routine Help] Ever since I had to replace Holika Holika Micellar Water my routine irritates my skin
I used to have a basic skincare routine that worked well for my sensitive skin. Sunscreen in the mornings, then micellar water to cleanse + moisturizer in the evenings. However this routine has been irritating my skin and causing breakouts for months now. The only thing that has changed is the micellar water/cleanser step, because the one I was using, Holika Holika Less On Skin Micellar, is impossible to find anymore. I tried subbing in Bioderma Sensibio micellar water. Irritation. I tried switching to straight cleansers like Vanicream and La Roche Posay. Irritation. I don't know what to do or why only the old Holika Holika micellar seemed to work.
It's gotten to the point where I've stopped doing a routine at all and just ignore my skin except for moisturizing after a shower. I want to start again because sunscreen is important. Also it'd be nice to eventually add more products . Help me debug this?
(In case it's relevant, the sunscreen I use is Barre Minerals Tinted SPF 30 and the moisturizer is Cerave Moisturizing Cream)
