[quote=Anonymous]I'm 43 and my routine is very similar to many already posted here.

Morning:
Cleanser:  Cetaphil Gentile Skin Cleanser (I've also used the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser and I like that as well)
Hydrating Toner: Currently I'm using Naturium Niacinamide Essence
Moisturizer:  E.L.F. Holy Hydration Moisturizer 
Sunscreen:  I've used many different ones  - currently I'm using the Neutrogena tinted mineral sunscreen SPF 30 which is ok but I don't love it.  I apply sunscreen RELIGIOUSLY and always apply 1/4 of a teaspoon to my face and neck, and I reapply throughout the day especially if I will be outdoors. I also try to always wear a hat if outside for an extended period of time.

Evening:
Cleansing Balm: Clean It Zero cleansing balm (this is an important step to remove the mineral sunscreen, which doesn't come off with regular cleanser alone)
Cleanser: Cetaphil Gentile Skin Cleanser 
Retinol:  Tretinoin .1 percent 
Moisturizer:  E.L.F. Holy Hydration Moisturizer

I also get botox in my forehead and between my eyebrows every 4 months.

I've been following this skincare routine for the past five years and I think my skin looks pretty decent.  (I started getting botox 3 years ago).  I have literally no sunspots or melasma, which I attribute to the tretinoin and sunscreen.  The botox has done a great job of smoothing out my forehead and the angry crease I used to have between my eyebrows.  I do have smile lines which are genetic - I am not ready to pull the trigger on filler at this point.  I think this is a pretty manageable and affordable routine and it keeps my skin looking basically as good as it can without spending major bucks on injectables and in-office procedures like lasers.
