Recommend me a 'The Ordinary' routine!

[TheOutside]

I worked it all out it before, saved to trolley and now its gone!

I'm 33, minor crows feet and very minor lines on forehead(I'm sure there is another name for these?!). I have faint dots on my nose but not black heads and get the kind of dry/oily(???) bumps in my nose crease.
I get quite a few blackheads around my chin and quite large spots in my hairline which may be hormonal but I've changed shampoo now to see if that helps.

In the sun I get faint freckles and I have very slighy redness on my cheeks towards my nose.

My biggest priority is to have even skintone and clear skin, followed by dewy and glowy skin and keeping the wrinkles at bay.

Overall I have 'normal' skin, no issues with dryness, oilyness or enlarged pores. I currently wash on a morning with Nutritious by estee lauder and use No.7 Perfect and Protect with EL Day wear then EL primer. Evenings I use micellar water then wash with EL Advanced Night Repair Cleanser then Superdrug hot cloth cleanser once or twice a week. Evenings I wear No.7 protect and perfect and Day wear again.

I can't help you, but last night I read an article called comment like "the best and worst...the orfibary" by "the skin care edit". I'm still learning about the ordinary myself but my skin needs differ from yours so no point sharing what I've learnt so far!

The Ordinary have like a regimen guide on their website if you have a browse on that, it recommends different products for different skin types and what results the individual is after

I have blackheads and I used to swear by the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, I haven't used it recently as I never got round to ordering more and I can tell a huge difference in my skin so that's one thing I would definitely recommend

My age & concerns are similar but also attempting to deal with sun damage (being v pale + Australian sun issues) I've been using TO for 18months - working out what works etc

I get hormonal acne on my chin/ jaw line. Skin flux due to my cycle with scary regularity (ie one week out from period become oil slick & blackheads) this routine keeps everything locked down and under control (with the odd rouge spot...) it's basic but works...

Am -
Cleanse
TO 23% Vit C suspension
Moisturise/SPF/make up

5 nights of the week -

PM -
Cleanse
TO salicylic acid
TO Nicamaide + zinc
Retinol (indeed labs)
TO Squalene oil

2 nights a week
Cleanse
TO lactic acid (10%)
TO squalene

Also use the aha/bha peel once every 2 weeks (can't get in Aus have to sneaky order from Asos)

I'm not fussed with the glycolic acid toner (my skin prefers SA & LA)
Used the retinol for 6 months but much prefer indeed labs (plus don't like dropper delivery for retinol)
Not fussed with buffet at all but skin loved Matrxyli (will start using again in my summer when I drop back on my retinol use)

I do like the HA but use Aldi do a comparable HA in a bigger volume.

Hope this helps!
