Skin product recommendations for 50+

Just wondering if anyone can recommend some products. I'm in my 50s and two concerns:

I'm more conscious of my wrinkles, so any products to reduce appearance or show down the process

My skin doesn't have any dry patches but feels tight on occasions and feels dry to touch.

I'm in my early 60's, I didn't want to go down the retinol route but wanted to up my skincare. To add to the small wrinkles I had been getting a few small spots and uneven texture!
I've gone for am cerave hydrating cleanser am and pm, then in the morning the ordinary vit c, ascorbil glucoside, factor 50 sun Lotion at the moment I'm using la roche posay, cerave pm moisturising lotion.
At night after washing, the ordinary 10% lactic acid followed by cerave pm moisturising lotion.
I'm pleased with the results, my skin is definitely clearer and I think a little more glowy, not sure about wrinkles.

Thanks for your reply. I'll certainly be looking at your suggestions later on. Does anyone else have any recommendations?

AM
Cleanse
Vit C
Moisturize (anything you like)
SPF 50

PM
Cleanse and remove make up (hot cloth cleanser which will exfoliate as well, Superdrug Vit E/Liz Earle or any you like)
Serum /Retinol
Moisturize

You could add an acid toner there a couple of times a week Glycolic if your skin is dry, salicylic if it's oily. AHA for dry, BHA for oily.

What will make the biggest difference and give you glow is the hot cloth cleansing and the Vit C. Retinol is more of a long game product and will take months to make a difference.

Nadine Baggott's videos are brilliant. I think she's about 55-60 and the routine above us what she recommends.
