Skincare routines with:
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
AM - Everyday
Use every day, as many times as needed. For most people, it's best to use a moisturizer twice per day. In the morning, apply it before your sunscreen (or skip the moisturizer in the morning if your sunscreen feels hydrating enough). In the evening, a moisturizer is usually the last step of a routine.
AM - Once a week
You can apply this product either during the day or at night, before your moisturizer or sunscreen. You can also apply it as a spot treatment only - as in directly on inflamed blemishes or in the area where you get clogged pores. We recommend that you use the product no more than once a week on larger areas of your face. More frequent use can result in skin irritation.
PM - Everyday
Use a generous amount of product to remove all dirt, sunscreen or makeup in one step. There is no need to double-cleanse. It is a good idea to always finish cleansing with a splash of clean water to remove any residue from the cleanser. Most people only need to cleanse their skin with a cleanser once per day, at night. It is the first step of a night skincare routine.

This is a makeover for GraceonWheels (https://whatsinmyjar.com/posts/1509/less-expensive-alternatives-to-zo-skin-health-anti-aging-routine). It is an easy make-over, because the main active in the original routine is the most potent Retinoid - Tretinoin. It is available on prescription in most countries.
The routine also includes Hydroquinone. It is a potent anti-pigmentation active, but can come with serious side-effects. In the made-over routine, we recommend a safer anti-pigmentation combination: Niacinamide + Azelaic Acid + Thiamidol + Ascorbic Acid.
Since Tretinoin is doing the most work in this routine anyways, the rest of the products can be quite simple. And, also, not expensive 😊.

Start slowly with this product: it can be irritating, but your skin can adjust to it with time. It is best to start using this product only once a week for the first few weeks. Mild dryness is normal when starting using a retinoid. Once your skin is able to tolerate the product well, you can increase the frequency of use to twice, and even three times a week. Make sure to apply a moisturizer regularly when using this product. Apply this product on clean skin, before a moisturizer. Most people prefer using this product at night, but it can be used in the morning as well.
