[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd suggest you go to sephora and ask for samples before you invest. Especially in Drunk Elephant, which is incredibly pricey. It works great for some people. Personally, I found their products to be really irritating, and I've never had sensitive skin before.  Also, I'd rethink and consider buying separate products, depending on what you need.  But if you are really committed to getting everything from one line, I'd recommend going to blue mercury and checking out Dermalogica. They make great products, and are somewhat mid-priced. Plus, once you figure out what you need, you can find their stuff in CVS and Target.

I'm 46 and my routine includes a double cleanse at night (tatcha camellia oil cleanser followed by fresh soy cleanser), then some kind of exfoliant (either Pixi glow tonic, or ole henricksen AHA gel), followed by toner (thayers witch hazel), followed by estee lauder nightime serum, and finishing with a moisturizer (right now I alternate between IT Cosmetics special sauce, and may lindstrom blue cocoon).

In the morning, if I've worked out I wash my face. If I havent', then I just splash some cold water on. Then I do the witch hazel, tata harper resurfacing serum, and moisturizer. I use biossance squalene oil + vitamin C, which I LOVE.  Cannot say enough about using a lightweight oil (either squalene or marula) as daytime moisturizer.  Works as moisturizer and make-up primer.

Anwyho... this routine took awhile to piece together and there were a number of products that I tried along the way and returned b/c they didn't work or actively felt gross.  I recommend buying stuff from sephora because it's so easy to return if it doesn't work. Though it's probably nicer to just get samples so you don't return used products too often. [/quote]

This is OP, and your skincare routine is impressive! That would be too steep a learning curve for me at this point, which is the thought behind buying a kit. I think I'm less likely to feel overwhelmed if I know I have the right pieces and how to use them.
