*Disclosure: I received a four-piece set from Y/OUR Personalized Skin Care in order to share my honest review about their products, but this isn’t a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own and not influenced by Y/OUR Personalized Skin Care in any way.
Last night I watched a series of videos on Amazon Prime, each featuring a model or blogger sharing her nighttime routine. Some of these women had very extensive nighttime routines. Cleansers, exfoliators, face wipes, face masks, sheet masks, serums, eye creams, moisturizers, lip scrubs, lip balms, body lotions, body oils, cuticle oils, and more.
For me, I like a simple routine. I typically remove my makeup {which is minimal at best} with a pre-moistened lavender-scented cleansing cloth. Then I like to wash my face with a cleanser and my facial brush, to deep clean my skin and pores. Then I’ll moisturize my face, neck, and décolletage. Finally, I put some Carmex on my lips.
A month ago, I began using a new {dermatologist recommended} moisturizer during the day, but I stopped using it after about a week because my skin started breaking out. So when I was approached by Y/OUR Personalized Skin Care to try their new skin care line, I was ready for a change. Their products use clean ingredients, with no fillers and are free from parabens, sulfates, and toxins.
First, I took their quiz and just a short time later, they sent me an email with my skin analysis. Based on that analysis, I have combination acne-proned skin with enlarged pores, and wrinkles {hello, middle age!}. They even helped establish a goal for my skin care regimen, which was to correct acne-causing imbalances, unclog my pores, reduce wrinkles, and address my oil production imbalance. Based on my skin care concerns, they added the following active ingredients to my skin care regimen: Vitamin A {anti-acne}, Peptide Complex {anti-aging}, and Glycolic {pore-clearing}.
When I got the package in the mail, I was excited to see the products. I knew from my skin analysis that I would be getting four products: cleanser, day cream, serum, night cream. For a simple city girl like myself, this regimen was perfect.
I liked the simple black and white packaging {a clean, sleek look}, and I liked that all of the products were sealed. Before I actually used any of these products, I peeled off the clear plastic seal and did a smell test. I like a good smelling beauty product like the next gal, but sometimes the fragrances in those products sometimes cause skin breakouts. These products have almost no scent at all. But what I like best about Y/OUR skin care line is that it’s personalized just for my skin.
My Nighttime Routine
Cleanse
This cleanser targets my acne concerns, dissolving and removing excess oil and dead skin cells to prevent breakouts. I squeeze out a dime-size and gently massage it onto my face, neck, and décolletage. Then I use my exfoliating brush to really cleanse my skin. Then I rinsed off my face and my skin felt so baby soft. I loved how my face felt that I was ready to apply the next step.
Serum
This light water-gel formula has both antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and prevents future signs of aging. I applied about a dropper-full of serum to my face, neck, and décolletage. The serum melted into my face fairly quickly. It was lightweight, but still my skin felt smooth.
Night Cream
This thick cream is supposed to balance moisture, stimulate cell growth and rejuvenate my skin all night. It is infused with vitamins and antioxidants, boosts collagen production, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improves the appearance of large pores, and speeds up the acne healing process. This cream went on very nicely and I really felt like my skin was being moisturized from the inside out.
Even when I woke up the next morning, my skin felt soft and moisturized. I washed my face with the cleanser and then applied the Day Cream {which is Step 2 of my morning skin care routine}. This Day Cream is a moisturizing sunblock that absorbed into my skin quickly. This formula combines the UV deflecting properties of Titanium minerals with protective ingredients to prevent sun damage, neutralize harmful free radicals, and keep away pollution damages.
After a week of following this skin care regimen, my skin was noticeably softer and my makeup went on smoother and my breakouts started clearing up.
Yours Truly,

I took a chance on getting this due to breakouts due to hormones. I am very sensitive to most products. Since I have started I haven’t broken out and I see a difference in the first week. I would definitely recommend.
So glad you like this skin care, and that it worked for you! I just love how soft it left my face.
