[quote=Anonymous]Mine is similar to other routines here, but I've really paired it down recently to save money.

Morning: 
- wash with water, or if I workout, wash with a gentile hydrating cleanser (currently using Cetaphil) 
- apply moisturizer (currently using ELF Hello Hydration Moisturizer)
- apply SPF 50 (currently using Australian Gold Tinted Mineral Sunscreen)

Evening:
- first cleans with a cleansing balm (I do this to remove the mineral sunscreen - I am currently using the CleanIt Zero cleansing balm)
- second cleanse with gentile cleanser (Cetaphil)
- tretinoin .1 percent
- apply moisturizer (either the ELF Hello Hydration Moisturizer or the ELF Hello Hydration Sleeping Mask)

Maybe once a month I will use the Ordinary AHA/BHA peel in the evening instead of the tret.

In the past I've added other steps, including Vitamin C Serum, in the morning, and also a hydrating essence in the morning (I love the Naturium Niacinamide Essence).  I've since paired down my routine to see if there is a difference in my skin when I have a more simple routine.  I don't really miss the Vitamin C Serum; I've never really seen a difference in my skin form a Vitamin C serum.  I've only used inexpensive ones such as the Timeless one and the Maelove one, so maybe the more expensive ones are a lot better?  At this point in time I'm not willing to pay over $100 for any skincare product, so I just assume all Vitamin C serums are the same. :-)

I do miss the Naturium Niacinimide Essence though - that product is great for really hydrating my skin, especially in the winter.  The Australian gold mineral sunscreen is VERY matte, I feel like the Essence really helped give my skin a bit of a glow when I used that product.[/quote]
