My Personal Mature Skin Routine Favorites
Following a routine is going to get you the best results! I labeled the steps below and what I personally use. I love both Anua and Paulas choice. Paula's choice is made in the USA and they really work to keep their products and packaging environmentally friendly and give pack their products in packaging that's going to keep the products at the most effective during the duration of usage. Anua is a popular K Beauty brand, and I've had an amazing result with their products as well. There are so many good brands - the final outcome is definitely following the routine steps and consistency!
STEP 1 - Best I've ever used and cannot believe it took me so long to find this. I SWEAR by this duo - the 1st step oil emulsifies any makeup you have and leaves the face feeling soft, then you come in with the creamy cleanser that then foams up and your skin is squeaky clean
Anua Double Cleanser Duo for Face
STEP 2 - this toner is so soothing and hydrating, this will pick up any leftover residue from the cleansing duo. Do forget to get behind your ears and neck and chest.
Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner pH 5.5
STEP 3 - you need to start slow on this - if you overdo it after a couple of days it will literally peel an entire layer off and while it might be good to get that fresh skin underneath I still say go slow and work up to a daily usage so that you are... This is the number 1 exfoliant on Amazon
SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant | Paula's Choice
STEP 4 - SERUMS AND TREATMENTS - (Anua Niacinamide) I like several different brands here but I'm going to put the top options in - this is a great formula that you can do twice a day - this works for “orange peel” nose which I have larger pores (sun ...
Anua 10% Niacinamide + 4% Tranexamic Serum
I use this one daily because I love Paula's choice products. This is a B vitamin formula that is gentle for twice a day and works to smooth rough skin and even tone.
CLINICAL 20% Niacinamide Serum Treatment - Paula's Choice
STEP 4 - plumping hydration ok for everyday use from the popular K Beauty Brand Anua
5-4. Hyaluronic Acid - Anua US
Step 4 - This is my top Vitamin C choice for several years - use this twice a week in your nighttime routine. Works to brighten the skin.
C15 Super Booster | 15% Vitamin C Booster | Paula's Choice
STEP 4 - TREATMENT - RETINOL - I started using this several years ago because at that point I couldn't get anything this strong in the stores and it was suggested to me from a beauty expert at Ulta, and it's been a ongoing treatment for me ever since... Also here you must start slowly and work up to a more frequent routine based on the need
CLINICAL 1% Retinol Serum Treatment + Peptides | Paula's Choice
STEP 5 - MOISTURIZER - this is a very light formula, non-greasy. It's very complimentary to the Anua line if you only want to stay with a single brand. I do use it as I bought it in a set but if you need a more intense moisturizer at nighttime I would consider this one more for daytime. I don't always use moisturizer in the evening due to using collagen
Heartleaf Moisturizer for Dry Skin | Gentle yet Effective - Anua US
Medicube Collagen - I use this with my Age R Booster wand - it does leave the skin sticky but refreshed - it works as a conductor with the wand and gets down deep into the layers to give you that boost due to loss with age or prior sun damage.
Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream - Niacinamide
STEP 4-5 - I also use this with my AGE R Booster Wand - this gives your skin that glass effect and works fabulous to restore the skin barrier. I mix this with the Collagen when using my wand and I just rub in any excess that didn't absorb during the wand use and go to sleep - my skin is silky soft the next morning.
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence - COSRX Official
This mask can be worked in anytime you don't do your exfoliant that day. I love how the mask helps with my dark circles under my eyes - I should use it more however it's a 20-minute process. I love that it doesn't harden to a rock on your face it definitely brightens the skin and leaves it soft and fresh
Masks - SeoulCeuticals
I really like this treatment it's a 3-6 minute process so easier to fit in time wise and it has thousands of positive reviews on Amazon. My skin doesn't get irritated from it and I was left with soft skin that wasn't over dry. Again, here you want to do this at the most 2 times a week if using other exfoliants - this will target any bad areas and most likely several days later you will see some peeling and have fresh skin underneath
Glycolic acid chemical peel - AHA BHA Exfoliant - Eraorganics.com
DAYTIME FINAL STEP BEFORE MAKEUP - SUNSCREEN - I think face is recommended for a minimum of 30 but I use 50 or higher typically due to years of not using it at all

I love how my skin looks after I use this. It plumps and hydrates and the dark spots on my face are diminished as well as the redness and look of pores. Its been a great way to sit and relax and work on my skin right before bedtime
