[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where can I turn for help building a routine? Spent lots of time reading on Paulas Choice; tried several products by the Ordinary. Been using the same Philosophy moisturizer for over a decade, and it isn’t cutting it anymore. I feel like I’m ready for big girl skincare but don’t know where to turn. My dermatologist was no help at all. I recently bought the Guerlain Abbeille set, but all it does is make my face sticky and perfum-y. Would going to Sephora help? There are so many brands and sets that I’m curious about-drunk elephant; Peter Thomas Roth; Sunday Riley... would they be able to recommend something? I’m 41 with sensitive skin (though I mostly tolerate products just fine). I’m starting to get enlarged pores and tiny lines and can see some loss of firmness. Doctor recommended against retinol due to rosacea, but I’ve been able to tolerate the really light stuff by the Ordinary just fine. Appreciate your advice. [/quote] Building a skincare routine is not about brands, it's about integrating the ingredients that are proven to work (and possibly finding products that you agree with, but ingredients come first.) AM: Clean Vit C serum (alternating with AHA/BHA product one day out of three) Moisturizer if need Sunscreen PM: Clean Tretinoin Moisturizer The end. There are no other products with clinically proven effectiveness. Tretinoin, Vit C, AHA/BHA and sunblocks is it. [/quote] I think you mean clinically proven for anti aging/wrinkles, but there are clinically proven topicals for other issues (for example, acne or rosacea). It depends on what your skin's issues are.[/quote]
