skincare newbie

You have quite a lots of active ingredients here, and it can be confusing when it comes to layering. And I suggest you to also keep things under control when using actives. Keep in mind that acid AHA & BHA should not be used together with Retinol, Benzoyl peroxide, Vit C. Other than that it ks fine. So, for your routine I suggest: AM: Cleanser-Toner- Vit C- Alpha Arbutin/Niacinamide- Caffeine for eyes area- Moist - Sunscreen PM: Cleanser- Glowing Tonic- Alpha Arbutin / Niacinamide- Caffeine for eyes area- moist- sunscreen

Am : cleanser , vit c , niacinamide , alpha arbutin , moisturizer , spf Pm : cleansing oil/balm/micellar water , cleanser , pixy glow , vit c , niacin , alpha arbutin , caffein solution , moist . I thought caffein solution is for eye treatment ?

Hey! With the products you mentioned, I would do something like this.. 🌄 Morning: •Cleanser •Alpha Arbutin •Caffeine •Vitamin C •Moisturize •Sunscreen 🌃 Evening: •Double Cleanse (Oil then reg cleanser) •Glow tonic 2x per week (it's an AHA exfoliant) •Salicylic Acid 2x per week (not on the same night as the glow tonic, because this is a BHA exfoliant so you want to be careful to not over exfoliate) •Niacinamide •Moisturize The morning routine is on the cusp of too many serums, so if something like applying the caffeine just to affected areas or around your orbital bone works for you better, then I definitely recommend doing that. One other suggestion I have is when playing with a few different actives like the exfoliants you have, an extra hydration step is super helpful. I think a hydrating toner could be an awesome addition for your routines. I'm From Rice Toner is high regarded! Or CosRX Pure Fit Cica Toner. 😍

Oh sure nevermind, that’s what we do on picky here 😉
