Simple but effective skin care routine for 40+ skin

I use retinol serum and a separate moisturiser at night and moisturiser and spf in the morning. I clean my face in the shower with a gentle exfoliator from lush.
My skin is not looking amazing though. Can people tell me their routine and go to products if you are over 40 and happy with your skin? I’m realistically never going to do a 15 step routine but I could do with putting a bit more effort in.

thanks!

Your routine is completely fine all I would do is either ramp up your retinol to a prescription strength tretinoin, or if you don't fancy that introduce a high strength vitamin c serum - both should give you more glow.
