The research highlights a growing trend among young women who use elaborate skincare routines involving up to 12 different products daily, driven by social media hype. Products like serums, cleansers, retinols, toners, essences, exfoliants, eye creams, sunscreens, and night creams are commonly part of these routines, leading to skin complaints.
