[quote=Anonymous]41 here. I feel like I am doing the minimum, but it works for me so far.

AM
-Wash with just water and washcloth (no cleanser in am to preserve skin mantle! I only cleanse with cleanser once a day—see PM. Got this tip from a derm)
-Lancôme Advanced Night Repair Serum (okay to use in day)
-Dr Jart cerimadin cream
-Colorscience mineral tint sunscreen
-BB cream if necessary for any blemishes not covered by tinted sunscreen

PM
-Oil based cleanser to take off sunscreen (usually Target or CVS brand wipes)
-L’Oréal PureClay cleanser to wipe off oil cleanser and any remaining makeup (two-step cleansing is KEY! I wish I learned this earlier)
-Lancôme Advanced Night Repair Serum as moisturizing base
-Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Eye Serum (it is made for eyes but I use all over bc it’s the only retinol I can tolerate)
-Dr Jart Cerimadin cream
-Glow Recipe watermelon face mask if I feel dry

I layer my retinol on top of a serum because I have sensitive skin. Then I seal in with an occlusive cream.

I tried fancy products from my dermatologist. Everything was either too strong or ineffective. I went back to my combo of drug store and “premium” products.

If my skin is feeling “rough” I exfoliate in the shower with St Ives. Use sparingly, St Ives is controversial.

Maintenance:
Light Botox for brow furrow and forehead lines. Light filler for nasolabial folds and lips.
