Nothing too structured, most is just whatever half decent stuff is on offer at that time:

Morning: Face wash/scrub (only ever use exfoliatior in the shower so depends whether that's morning/night) --> Moisturiser (SPF if I'm out and about, standard if not - hate SPF moisturiser though, like trying to rub white paint into your skin)
Night: Face wash/scrub --> Retinol --> Retinol containing moisturiser

Know what you mean though, skin feels/looks so much better after getting consistent with it

Standard 3-steps system : face wash,toner,cream + hyaluronic acid (from time to time). I used a lot of Arab cosmetics (that I was ordering by internet) for many years before and that was really brilliant,but last 4-5 years I have to use European/American cosmetics (just because I can't order those Arab cosmetics anymore).
I also adore to wash my face with mineral waters (I love Polish "Muszynianka" mineral water, and in Russia I used Essentuki,Narzan etc) but to see a good result you have to try different waters and chose the one that is more convenient for you+ you have to use a new bottle every 2-3 days a week (for example I buy a small bottle of Muszynianka and leave a bit of this water just for my face for next 2-3 days,then I buy a new bottle etc etc).
The previous poster was writing about Retinol... that's a good thing (in general), but only if you know how to use it. It can be dangerous if you use it incorrectly and especially if you use cosmetics with a high percentage of Retinol. I would recommend to see it with your dermatologist/cosmetologist first of all.
One more thing: maybe it's not a "skincare routine" but I'm also a big fan of "face building" exercises, I would strongly recommend you to start to do face exercises every day as well. You'll be surprised with the result (if you do it correctly and really every day).

I had acne well into my 40's before my skin finally cleared up. I used all of the over the counter products I could find and none of them worked any better than soap and water. I used a mild soap (Dove brand) in the morning and then again at night. It's been 20 years since then and I know it's different for each person.
