Subject: What are the skincare products you can’t live without?
38 y/o
1) retin-a: I was getting a deep pimple that would forever to heal about every 2 months. Then it would leave a hyperpigmented spot behind for another few months. As soon as one was finally, finally cleared, another would come. With retin-a, I have had maybe 2 pimples in the past 3 years and they clear much faster. My skin is pretty flawless now. IPL helped too I’m sure.
2) a custom blend face oil serum from Province Apothecary. I layer it under my retin-a at night and under moisturizer in daytime.
3) Elta MD UV clear. I’ve tried other sunscreens but always circle back to this one. It is the best.

Bottom line- the only thing is
1. Sunblock
2. A good moisturizer
Literally, that is it. The rest is just playtime and $$.
Except that tretinoin has actual scientific evidence of anti-aging benefits, so add that one to the list.
Vitamin C also has a robust body of RCT evidence behind it, re: accelerating cell turnover. otoh, it's _really_ hard to maintain it without oxidation.
I use the Ordinary C powder so I can mix it fresh every morning with a drop of their ferulic and their marula oil.

If you look up dermatologist’s personal skincare routines, they all include a Vitamin A derivative, in addition to sunblock and moisturizer.
It is usually Retin-A, because there are decades of studies to prove it’s efficacy. For those whose skin can’t handle Retin-A, otc retinoids are used, such as retinol, or retinaldehyde.
This info information is easy to find online.
What is a good OTC retinol?
Pp here, I use Retin A micro. Here is a link to dermatologist skin care routines. It seems that SkinBetter Science AlphaRet is a favorite retinol product, but it’s pricey.

My list:
really good European, high PPD sunscreen. I like Avène SunsiMed, Bioderma Photoderm Max Milk SPF50, and Isdin Fotoprotector Fusion Water SPF50. Isdin is great under makeup.
sun hat. I always wear mine and I have several. There are less dorkier versions now.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5. Amazing for irritated skin, I also mix it with a drop of Renova to make it less harsh
retinaldehyde - Avene Retrinal is amazing
Bakuchiol Serum - I like the Herbivore Botanicals one, very little ingredients
Vitamin C - I like skinmedica C&E
I'm European and when I het home I always get profhilo.
PP, are you able to buy those sunscreens in the US, and where do you buy them or what websites do you use? Thank you!

Squalane oil for moisturizing
Elta MD UV clear 46 for daily facial sunblock
Some of you people have really long "must have" lists. I use and like other things, but those are the two non-negotiable items.

How do you use this with other products and in your routine?
I wear it to sleep. I use vitamin c and an under eye cream in am let them set for 30 mins then slather on biooil again. Let that absorb while I do drop off then put on an spf moisturizer.
