Hot take: I used to double-cleanse with the same oil cleanser morning and night, but after a breakout last fall I switched to a micellar water in the AM and my skin actually calmed down.

Anyone else found that cutting back on product frequency helped more than adding extra steps, or is it just me?

Yeah for sure. I stopped washing my face in the morning altogether and just splash water on it. My skin got way less irritated and oily during the day.

Wait you just splash water on your face? No cleanser at all? That seems wild to me. I feel like my face would still be greasy by noon if I did that. But hey if it works for you maybe I'm overcomplicating things with my whole routine. I've been using this expensive foaming wash twice a day and my face still gets shiny by lunch.
