Hi all I have recently started trying to take care of my skin after too many years of failing. I am using a few products and my skin seems to tolerating them ok but could use other opinions.
Am
The ordinary squalane cleanser
Revolution Sali Hughes placid
Sali Hughes must c
The ordinary natural moisturiser
And on eyes the ordinary multi peptide serum

Pm
Garnier micellar cleansing water
The ordinary niacinamide 10%
The ordinary azelaic acid
The ordinary natural moisturiser
Sometimes followed by Emma Hardie brilliance facial oil
Same on eyes as am

How does this look? Should I leave time in between applying each product? Any advice greatly appreciated

You have a lot of Ordinary products there, so I would contact them. They can give you a whole regime based on your skincare needs.

It might be worth adding spf to your morning routine and retinol to your night routine.

I'm currently using Hero force shield mineral spf (it does leave a slight white cast on me, but think it would be fine on lighter skin tones). Beauty of Joseon does a good chemical spf.

At night, I use Beauty of Joseon revive eye serum ginseng + retinol. I've had zero irritation with this and would recommend it.

Use the ordinary cleanser at night as well as morning. SPF as well

Looks ok, depends on your skin type and concerns tbh. Also yes you need to wear spf every day.

You're missing the key ingredients to anti ageing: spf 50 and tretinoin. Add in those and you're golden

I would definitely add an SPF in there! It's key to prevent ageing and improves the overall appearance of your skin

Be aware you shouldn’t mix retinol with vitamin c or exfoliating acids so you would need to ditch the Sali Hughes. You might be able to tolerate using them on alternate days. I’m not a fan of retinol personally - I seem to get very dry with even very slow introductions and sandwiching with hydrating products so it’s just not for me. I didn’t mind this eye cream and got no dryness but I also didn’t find it did much for me https://www.superdrug.com/skin/eye-skincare/eye-creams/some-by-mi-retinol-advanced-triple-action-eye-cream-30ml/p/mp-00035694?utm_source=rakuten&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Redbrain&utm_keyword=pfxNKSnglIM-zRCf57KAnTnnEVYgpG5uJQ&ranMID=50336&ranEAID=pfxNKSnglIM&ranSiteID=pfxNKSnglIM-zRCf57KAnTnnEVYgpG5uJQ
