Any particular recommendations?


Not pp, but what is your budget? There are great products out there for reasonable prices. For what is worth, this is my pm routine:

1 - wash with Philosophy Purity (I am trying it out... so far so good)
2 - Toner R+F reverse line (trying it out as well)
3 - Copper Amino Isolate Serum by NIOD (https://niod.com/product/nid-copper-amino-isolate-serum-21-15ml)
4 - NIOD Hyaluronic complex (https://niod.com/product/multi-molecular-hyaluronic-complex-15ml?redir=1)
5 - SK-II essence
6 - The Ordinary salicylic acid 2% OR Lactic acid 10% (I alternate)
7 - Adapalene
8 - Drunk Elephant Glycolic Night Serum
9 - The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension
10 - The ordinary macula oil
11- Drunk Elephant lala whipping cream moisturizer mixed with DE Protini and DE B-Hydra.

I used The Ordinary peeling solution once a week and Drunk Elephant baby facial once a week. When I use these, I follow up with a mask. I love JAYJUN Baby Pure Shining Mask - LOVE IT!

This week I will try a different one - Dr. Jart ceramidin mask.

I am also trying this week Ohui Miracle Moisture Ampoule, but I am on day 3 and it is a 7 days regime... so, can't say anything about it yet.

I DID NOT/DO NOT think SK II masks are worth the cost at all. They are not bad, but I didn't see anything different after using it like some reviewers do/did. Jayjun is amazing though. I bought it from Walmart because I don't trust amazon sellers for that (some people were complaining about fake products). Plus, it is MUCH cheaper than SKII... the results on my skin don't even compare...

You don't need to follow my routine - it is a lot, but I truly have fun trying new things.

If you had to choose something from my routine for hydration, I would choose: 3, 4, 10, 11 plus DE baby facial and Jayjun wask once/week.


Which Jayjun mask do you like? Thanks for posting!

My generic tretinoin cream doesn't give me irritation or dryness. When I used prescription Retin A, it was awful.

I used Vanicream when I used prescription Retin A. It's great. There is a whole line of fragrance free products including sunscreen.

I can't follow this. Do you use Retin-A?


It's not recommended to mix salicylic acid with Adapalene (brand name Differin) or any other Retin-A. Your routine has a lot of chemical exfoliation going on for just a night time routine.
