Skincare in perimenopause - so many products!

46f, in my perimenopause, fairly good skin (no issues, obviously some fine lines, etc but nothing major).
My usual skin care routine is mix of la Roche posey, Vichy, cerave and tropics.
I have done some reading and would like to invest in some good retinal/vit c and lactic/glycol acids.
However I do enjoy tropics moisturisers, their cleanser and toner (despite the crap marketing stuff- put that aside)
Has anyone used both- tropic serums- vit c (brightening), the green dew one, the fruit peel and can compare for example to brands like medic 8 or dermatica, etc.
Is tropic skin care as effective as the lab based skin care? Being apparently all natural? Would be grateful- looking for some honest opinions.

Does any of it really make a difference. I’d say a really good spf and a good night cream your best bet.
