Hi Channie, I try to read and learn about skincare as much as I can. I’m 52 and have struggled as well. I think from what I understand, the best products for anti-aging, firmness, skin tone… are these products: a retinoid, a c serum, a chemical exfoliant, a good moisturizer, sunscreen, and a good cleanser.
A routine would be something like:
Morning:
Wash (some say not a necessary step if you don’t break out)
C serum
Moisturizer
Sunscreen
Evening:
Wash
Chemical exfoliant or retinoid (Rotate these two products and give yourself a night of two without using either bc they have strong actives and your skin needs recovery nights. Dr. Whitney Bowe calls this “skin cycling,” and says it protects your skin barrier.)
Moisturizer
Some products I love are Paula’s Choice Resist C15, Drunk Elephant Lala Retro, Le Prunier Plumscreen, Drunk Elephant Framboos, Mychelle Remarkable Retinal Serum
I hope this helps!
