In reply to Gladys. Gladys, yes that's correct. Keep in mind that if you're new to these ingredients, it's best to use them a couple of nights a week and build up frequency overtime to avoid irritations.

Hi Gio,

I am so excited I bumped into your website because am VERY CONFUSED! HELP!

I turn 50 this year and decided to start a skincare care routine to improve texture, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and overall better NAKED skin health.

I started looking for products that could help me achieve these goals and I found The Ordinary products, and I bought a bunch of them, but now I don’t know when to use them. I would appreciate it if you could give me some guidance. This is what I got:

Apologize in advance is a lot…

Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3%

Squalane Cleanser (switching to CeraVe Moisturizing Cleanser)

Acids
Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution (Using Thayer Witch Hazel)
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
Lactic Acid 10% + HA

Hydrators/Oils
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
Amino Acids + B5
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
100% Plant-Derived Hemi-Squalane
Jojoba Oil ( I am using it to moisturized)

Molecules
Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA
Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

Peptides
Buffet
Argireline Solution 10%
Matrixyl 10% + HA

Retinoids
Retinol 0.5% in Squalane

Vitamin C
Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%

Honest Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30

I know is a lot, but I need a strong AM, PM foundation to use in the next few weeks or month and maybe interchange later to spot treat specific issues.

Hi Gio! I recently discovered your website and I love it. You are amazing. I wanted to get clarification on the night time routine. Do I alternate glycolic acid one night then next night the retinol?

Hi gio. I’m addicted to your site, is my favorite read, but as normal I’m a little CoNfused. I have dry skin and am on my 40’s. Don’t have many wrinkles but a little bit of sagging skin and pigmentation. I want to follow a mix between your dry and aging skin routine and the dry and pigmentation. But am unsure on how to add in niacinamide, retinol and a peel. Also, would like to arrange some monthly peels but I’m not sure if I should. This is what I’m doing (and plan to do)
Am:
Cleanser: soft cleanser like cerave hydrating cleanser
Toning mist (I love the dermalogica anti age one)
Vitamin c: paulas choice c15 booster (I’m planning on buying the elephant drunk c firma, but need to see what to do about oxidation cause I already owned one and had to throw it away)
*paulas choice triple sport eraser lotion (this one planing to buy)
Moisturizer : I’m using the natural factors from the ordinary and loving it. But I can use another recommendation. Also love the peptides one from elephant drunk.
Oil: I’m using a Squalane oil right now
Sunscreen: I use isis fusion water and super goop mineral sunscreen. I like both but I love that the isis one is lighter and works better under make up
After that I put a tinted Moisturizer or a light base as make up plus bronzer

Pm:
Cleanse: oil and cleanser
Rotate between the framboois serum from elephant walk (glycolic)
And retinol (here I don’t know what to use. I have a 0.25 retinol cream the Dr recommend a year ago but I feel it does nothing for me.) wondering if I could use the antioxidant serum with retinol from pc that you recommend for dry skin.
I would like to add the 20% niacinamide from pc. But not sure in which order.
Moisturizer and oil

Can you guide me here. And let me know if I’m missing something

I also have this others things I’ve bought but don’t know how to add them on my routine:
The buffet from to
Granactive retinol from to
I have a clinical glycolic lotion from Peter Thomas Roth (it’s a 2 step process with 2 different solutions) but don’t know when would I use it.

Thanks
