Hi all! I’m here to find the right products to add to my routine. I’m 33 years old and I have very sensitive, reactive skin and I’m starting to have fine lines (especially between my brows and on my forehead). I’m considering the move to retinol but would prefer to go with bakuchiol (my face cream already contains a small amount) if I find something really effective, so I don’t have to worry about photosensitivity and bad reactions.
I would say I have combination skin with the occasional pimples on my forehead/nose.
My current routine is basic, and it’s the same morning and night :
Removing make up with Sensibio (Bioderma)
Once in a while (not every day as I found it dries my skin) a « proper » cleanser, either a solid one (umaì or aderma) or liquid (Savan).
Geranium floral water (spray)
Hyaluronic acid serum (Bkind)
Superfruit face cream (Bkind)
Once a week approximately, I use a peach tea and hyaluronic acid sheet mask from Teaology.
I’m also looking for a face sunscreen that won’t make me break out and won’t make me shine too much.
If you are interested in moving from bakuchiol to retinol I’ve heard that the Some by Mi retinol intense serum is a good starter. Plus it has bakuchiol in it as well. As for sunscreen I’ve started using the Skin1004 sunscreen and it is more of a serumy texture so it’s super lightweight and leaves a more dewy finish rather than oily.
