Skincare

Usually my skincare consists of hot cloth cleanser, day or night serum and a day or night moisturiser. I add a vitamin c booster to my moisturiser in the morning.

However I purchased a tester set of hyalironic acid, niaciamide and AHA. I also bought a retionol night serum and glycolic overnight peel.

Each one says to use 2-3 times a week but are you best to use morning or night? And where in my routine should I use them?

I use hyalauronic acid every day, am and pm for hydration. I use niacinamide every day in the morning for oil control.

The AHA, retinol and glycolic, I would probably experiment with.

The Deciem chatroom (makers of The Ordinary) have guides, including how to layer products, which may help

HA is just a hydrating serum. So goes where any serum goes.

AM- Vit C (don't forget sunscreen)
PM Retinol

If your glycolic is a peel, then presumably the % of actives is high so you'll use that just once a week, going up to a couple once your skin has accepted it. What's the AHA?

Niacinamide is another serum you'd probably use in the evening. It's often prescribed by the online places like Skin & Me and Dermatica and is good for all types of skin especially oily. (glycolic is better for dry and ageing, if you're oily you're better with a BHA)

What brands and actual products are they?
