Skincare newbie - night serum

[DailyMailHater]

Hi all,

recently as part of working on my mental health issues I have been focusing on self care and found that having a good skincare routine morning and night is really helping with routines etc - and obviously making a difference to my skin my routine is as follows:

Morning:
Face wash
Exfoliating toner
Vitamin c serum
Under eye brightening cream
Moisturiser with sunscreen in

Night:
Cleansing balm (removes makeup)
Face wash (2 nights a week replaced with exfoliating face wash)
Night cream / moisturiser

i would like to add a serum to the night routine do I just go with the same vitamin c one I have used in the morning or should I be using a specific night one and if so which ones would you recommend?

as I say this is all new to me so any tips appreciated.

OP you could try a retinol night serum, but maybe start with a gentle one as you are already using some actives in your routine and don't want to irritate.

The ordinary do some good basic ones that are not expensive.

Thanks I will have a look at some of these

As @Farmageddon says, the only "essential" missing from your routine is a vitamin A/retinoid.
