Which products for my 33yr old oily skin?

I currently just use a Simple cleanser and an Aldi moisturiser but am conscious that 33 is probably a good time to start looking after my skin a bit more!

My skin is oily though only the odd hormonal breakout, but did have lots of spots when younger which have never completely faded, so have quite red skin especially cheeks.

I am also noticing fine lines on my forehead and have terrible 11s (have had Botox once but didn’t really help the 11s) and that my face looks quite puffy in the morning!

I’ve heard good things about retinol but am at a loss where to start, and what else I can and can’t use along side it.

I’ve previously used a few Ordinary products (mainly zinc and niacinamide) but didn’t really notice any difference.

A point in the right direction would be most appreciated!

I don't know anything about retinol but I am a similar age to you and really enjoying Paula's choice products

I use tretinoin and niacinamide which is prescribed through Dermatica. Any retinols off the shelf are weaker.
