The Ordinary advice please

[AntheaTrifid]

I'm in my early 30s and my eyes and forehead aren't quite as kind to me as they were 5 years ago, so I think it's about time I started some sort of anti ageing skin care routine.

I've heard lots of wonderful things about The Ordinary, but I am a complete skin care novice! Can anybody please help me figure out a routine to stop me from looking haggard?

I have fairly normal skin, I get a few spots around my chin and jawline but I think that's more laziness with removing make up than anything else. My forehead is starting to wrinkle and my eyes are a bit liney. I've heard of retinoids and the like... I just haven't a clue how to use them, or what with!

Also does anyone know if the body shop chamomile cleansing butter is a goodie? They have £10 off £30 that I'd like to make use of this weekend

I just started on a regime from The Ordinary a couple of weeks ago. I have quite a lot of products to apply and have to keep them lined up so I don't forget the order but the results are great already.
I found the website very daunting and technical but I contacted them through the site and they suggested a routine that would work for my skin concerns.

There's an app! (Of course there is!) Called skincare regimen organiser, costs about £3 you list your ordinary products and it gives you a morning and evening list of products in order of use.

I love it. Skin feels much better, but some of this might be because I previously had zero skincare and now I have some!

If you email Victoria Health (main online supplier of TO) they'll send you a regime. There are loads of reddits and other websites that do the same.

Be aware they will recommend about 176 products obviously.

You probably could do with an acid toner (Nip &Fab pads from Superdrug are good) a decent serum or two. But C serum will brighten your complexion (as will the acid toner) A hyaluronic acid serum for moisture (Nip & fab dragon's blood, Vichy 89 are great) the Ordinary HA is foul, slimy and gloppy.

A hot cloth cleanser of any kind (I love the chamomile one you mentioned)

Wrinkles and lines are only going to go with Botox or retinol.
