To build a routine under tretinoin. And not only
Good day, dear ladies. I write rarely, but I read constantly, therefore, came to the conclusion that we need to seriously look at tretinoin.
I am 36, almost 37, the skin is mixed type, dry under eyes, forehead, nose and around fat. Acne-prone, but I successfully got rid of by using good serums with Niacinamide from The Ordinary. Actually, at the moment this brand means constitute the bulk of my care.
Now my routine looks like the following:
In the morning always wash, toner and then a mixture of Niacinamide, alpha arbutin and EUK134 (The Ordinary), in conjunction with BENTON — Fermentation Essence. Under the eyes if there is swelling, caffeine, then Argireline and Matrixyl. Then ESTEE LAUDER Advanced Night Repair Eye Recovery Concentrate Matrix. After that, moisturizer and SPF.
In the evening after cleansing and toner I alternate the following combinations:
1) Amide + lactic acid 5% + HA
2) Niacinamide + alpha lipoic acid 5% (this variant I really like, in the morning the skin looks great)
3) Resveratrol with ferulic acid + 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder (also love)
One week before the toner is still red peeling with AHA.
Under eyes Argireline and Matrixyl, close to the same concentrate, or The history of Whoo Jinyulhyang Jinyul Eye Cream. On the face of Sulwhasoo Essential Firming Cream EX.
The state of my skin at the moment:
Wrinkles little. There are facial above the eyebrows (on the same, mostly) that I successfully compete with Argireline. There under the eyes is thin. How to deal with them, I don’t know. Patches and smooth them for a few hours. Probably need to humidify? What?
Turgor is lost, I feel that the oval started to SAG a bit. Matrixyl apply all over face not just under eyes? Then where to put him?
Now I want to add tretinoin, but do not understand how to reshape care not to clean out the resources. I would be very grateful for advice and assistance.
