I'd like to know if there are products I should add or delete for 50 year old skin. Thanks!
Anti-aging
Damage from the sunlight causes 80% of skin aging. The main anti-aging skincare strategy is:
Sun protection - a daily sunscreen that protects both from the UVA & UVB.
Repair existing sun damage. Actives like Retinoids, Vitamin C, Niacinamide and others help with this.

Top anti-aging actives
Ingredients to look for in skincare products to help with fine lines & wrinkles, elasticity loss & age spots. You do not need to use all anti-aging actives in your routine. Sunscreen is a must, but then you can include 2-3 other anti-aging actives and get good results. Do not go overboard with your actives: you want to avoid skin irritation (irritation contributes to skin aging and can undo the benefit from the actives).
