Why Your Skincare Isn’t Working (And How to Fix It)

Have you ever followed a detailed face routine only to see little to no results? You’re not alone! Many people struggle with skincare that doesn’t seem to work, leading to frustration and wasted products. Let’s explore the most common reasons why your skincare routine might not be giving you the glowing, healthy skin you deserve—and how to fix it.

1. You’re Not Using the Right Ingredients for Your Skin Type

Different skin concerns require different active ingredients. If your skincare routine isn’t tailored to your skin’s needs, you may not see the results you expect.

• For oily or acne-prone skin → Look for niacinamide and retinol to balance oil production and reduce breakouts.
• For dry or dehydrated skin → Ingredients like Centella and hyaluronic acid provide deep hydration.
• For dull or uneven skin tone → Vitamin C is key for brightening and evening out pigmentation.

Solution: Try incorporating the Brightening Vitamin C Serum from Luvit. With 10% stable Vitamin C and niacinamide, this lightweight serum helps improve uneven skin tone and restores your skin’s natural glow.

2. You’re Using Too Many (or Too Few) Products

More isn’t always better when it comes to skincare. Overloading your skin with too many actives—like using retinol, AHA, and BHA all at once—can cause irritation and reduce effectiveness. On the other hand, using too few products might not be enough to tackle your skin concerns.

Solution: Stick to a simple but effective skincare routine:

• Morning: Cleanser → Vitamin C Serum → Moisturizer → Sunscreen
• Evening: Cleanser → Centella Extract Serum (for hydration & skin repair) → Moisturizer

3. You’re Not Exfoliating Properly

Dead skin cells can build up on the surface, preventing your skincare serums and creams from absorbing properly. Exfoliation with AHA and BHA helps unclog pores and promote smooth, glowing skin.

Solution: Try Luvit’s AHA + BHA Peeling Serum, which deeply exfoliates while keeping the skin hydrated with Panthenol. Use it 1-2 times a week for best results.

4. You’re Not Using SPF

Many people expect skincare products like vitamin C serums or retinol creams to work wonders but skip sunscreen. Sun exposure can reverse skincare benefits and cause further damage.

Solution: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen in your morning routine, especially when using actives like retinol, niacinamide, or AHAs.

5. You’re Not Giving It Enough Time

Skincare takes patience. Some products, like niacinamide serums and retinol creams, take a few weeks to show visible improvements.

Solution: Stick to your routine for at least 6-8 weeks before deciding if a product works for you.
