Hydrating without feeling heavy. Doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. Layers well with serums and sunscreen.
The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors
I only use this a few times a week at night — it helps keep my skin smooth and clear. Great for gentle exfoliation, especially if your 40-year-old skin is looking a little dull or uneven.
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toner
Simple, reliable, and never breaks me out. Cleans my skin without stripping it, and it’s gentle enough to use every day. A staple in my routine.
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for Dry Skin
It’s super lightweight, sinks in fast, and gives an instant hydration boost — especially if you apply it to damp skin. My 40-year-old skin drinks this up. Great under moisturizer, no fragrance, and under $10.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides) - The Ordinary
This has been the perfect starter retinol for me!
Resurfacing Retinol Serum | Post-Acne Marks Treatment
I love the way this feels on my skin! And I absolutely love the scent. It contains pumpkin and the scent is similar to gingerbread!
