Here is what I personally use for my skincare routine. I've created a sub-section for retinols with descriptions because there are so many good options.
I personally like this cleanser a lot. It leaves my skin clean and soft, without being dry.
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser & Makeup Remover
This toner is great. Use after cleansing, but before serums.
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toner
Believe it or not, this really works when you use it consistently. (I am bad about forgetting)
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash & Brow Serum
Use after toner, before moisturizer
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc Serum
For when I don't want to look like a sleep-deprived racoon 🦝
The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% Eye Serum
Formerly know as “The Buffet”. This is great for anti-aging.
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Anti-Aging Serum
This moisurizer is lightweight and not greasy.
The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
This stuff looks scary, but if you use it right, it gives amazing results! My skin always looks fresher after using this!
The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
Great for problem areas. Use as a mask all over face, or target problem areas.

The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% Squalane
Great beginner retinol! 0.2% Retinol in Squalane
