Judge my skin care routine

[movingonup201]

I've tried many things over the years, and have some expensive products to use up. In order to do so, this is what I will do, anything I need to add?

Liz Earle cleanse polish, and tone.
Charlotte Tilbury magic serum
Charlotte Tilbury magic day/night cream as appropriate

I'm thinking of buying Alpha H Liquid gold and use 3 nights a week instead of magic serum.

Does my serum cover vitamin C? Anything missing?

I'm early 30s with a previous history of adult acne, combination skin.

I have combination skin too and found the magic cream very heavy, maybe a lighter cream for day time? Perhaps a retinol syrum to stop any fine lines appearing too quickly?

Sorry I should have said I'm sticking with CT serum and cream atm as I need to use it up, I just want to check I've got everything within that routine if that makes sense, I wasn't sure if Alpha liquid would would finish it off, does CT magic serum do what a retinol serum does? It's all so confusing!!

You’d be better off with targeted single ingredient serums - check out Inkey List or Boots new Ingredients range- both v inexpensive . That way you know you are getting the right stuff. I don’t rate CT stuff, too gloopy and highly scented for me.

I do:
Morning: cleanse (Elemis), Niacinimide (oily skin), Vit C and Hyaluronic Acid serums, day cream (Aldi!)

Night: double cleanse (balm and wash, various brands), glycolic toner, retinol (Paulas Choice) mixed with night cream or Q10 serum (Aldi again!)

Thank you, I need to use up what I have so I need to use the rest of the CT stuff, I'm just trying to work out what I need to add and at what point to round off the products im using currently. CT has vitamin C, so I'm guessing it's retinol I need?

i think it also depends on your lifestyle
if you smoke then you are likely to need retinol treatments around the mouth, if you have poor sleep then eye treatments, if youve a naturally frowny face then something for the 11 lines

The point is that the CT cream won’t have an optimal amount of Vit C in amongst all the other ingredients
