Ana, follow the routine in the book. You’re still using these actives, but they’re spread out to be gentler. And yes, you can replace retinol with tretinoin.

Laura, you’ve got some great products here, but I don’t recommend using them all together. For example, it’s best to alternate BHA and retinol at night. If you need more help to put together your skincare routine, book your consultation here: https://www.beautifulwithbrains.com/skincare-consultation/

I just finished your book. I loved it! But in the last part of the book, the routine for acne + aging was very short. Should I follow the short version or this one? Also, I would like to know that it is ok to replace retinol with tretinoin (witch ins stronger) and still follow this routine.
Thanks a lot!!

I’m so happy I found you I am almost 40 and always overwhelmed at the skin care options! You break everything down so helpfully! I subscribe to your newsletter and received the anti-aging/acne prone skin cheat sheet and I’m so excited to get started using the products I got!! Unfortunately I didn’t find much help on their website as to the steps for these products could you let me know if I have them in the right order?
1. Paulas choice skin balancing oil reduced cleanser
2. Paulas choice skin perfecting liquid bha 2% salyclic acid exfoliant.
3. Paulas choice boost hyaluronic acid booster serum.
4. Paulas choice boost 10% Niacinamide Booster serum.
5. Paulas choice clinical 0.3 retinol + 2% bakuchiol treatment (I couldn’t figure out what to do with moisturizers I couldn’t figure out what to do with moisturizers Because I do have oily prone skin and I realized I didn’t have anything with the retinol so I got that last one.)
Thanks so much for all your help! It’s so appreciated!!

Jade, before doing anything else, switch from glycolic to salicylic acid for a month and see if things improve.

Thank you so much for all the helpful info. I am 39 with acne and combination skin. My current regimen is morning Cerave cleanser, antioxidant serum (incl hyaluronic acid), Vit C lotion, and sunscreen (la roche posey mineral). Then PM is oil cleanser, cerave cleanser, glycolic acid, and cerave moisturizer, followed by spot treatment for acne of adapalene 0.3%/benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. I’m continuing to break out and haven’t noticed any demising or fading of hyper pigmentation spots. I’m considering adding niacin amide and just ordered the cerave PM, does this have enough or should I add a booster? Should I add salicylic acid somewhere? I have tried proactive and didn’t work so I have lost faith in benzoyl peroxide for myself and have been using the retinoid for 5 months with little benefit. Any thoughts are so welcome!
