Lucila, that is the correct order, well done for putting it together! You can use glycolic acid in summer but you have to be religious with sunscreen.

JD, so glad to hear that! Vitamin C is the best. 🙂

Katrina, I hear ya! Who you find a good skincare routine, you don’t want to switch. And you don’t have to. As long as you’re able to apply sunscreen properly over your moisturiser, you can still use Eucerin in the morning as well.

I’m all for taking out unnecessary products your skin doesn’t need but you think it does because – marketing. But if your skin likes this routine, keep up the good work!

Crissy, the ONLY thing that can reduce wrinkles you already have is vitamin A – and even then the results are incredibly slow. You’re already using The Ordinary Granactive 2% Retinol. Once you finish that, upgrade to 5% version and when you’re done with that, go another step up to either the Granactive Emulsion or Retinol 1% in squalane. And after that, go to a dermatologist for prescription vitamin A.

You can also go straight to a dermatologist without doing all these steps but prescription vitamin A is harsh and will seriously dry out your skin. Your skin will tolerate it better if you’re prepping it with stranger and stronger forms of vitamin A.

As for anything else that promises to reduce wrinkles, don’t buy it. They either prevent them or simply fill them in so they look temporarily smaller.

Kennedy, the skincare routine is good but there are products that I wouldn’t use everyday.

For example, 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is only for pimples. If you don’t have any breakouts, don’t use it. If you have only one or two pimples, use it only on pimples. Never use it on clear skin.

The oil-absorbing mask is another product you can use only two or three times a week. No need to use it every day.

You can use salicylic acid twice a day even with retinol – as long as this combination doesn’t dry out and irritate your skin. But as you’ve already using benzoyl peroxide in the morning, I wouldn’t use salicylic acid as well. In other words use salicylic acid only on days you’re not using benzoyl peroxide.
