Nighttime Routine
I use this only once/twice a week (depending on my skin condition that week), and the mini bottle can last me for many months. Been using this for years. I like how it evens out my skin tone and texture.
I'll apply 2 drops of this and dab under my eyes and above my brows. Then another 2 drops to dab on my philtrum (laugh lines).
Fight Deep-Set Lines with Argireline Solution 10% Serum
After applying the Argireline on my face, I'll drop 1 more drop of the Argireline onto my palm and mix it together with 2 drops of Matrixyl to be applied onto my whole face and neck.
Matrixyl 10% + HA Serum: Firm Your Skin & Target Fine Lines
After I apply my usual eye cream, I'll dab a very small amount of this castor oil around my under eyes, avoiding my waterline.
I use this once or twice a week, depending on my skin condition. I won't apply The Ordinary's Retinol serum if I'm using this for the night. My skin would feel noticeably smoother the morning after.
Adapalene Retinoid Acne Treatment

High-Strength Retinol 1% in Squalane for Fine Lines & Texture
I mix 1 drop of this with Argan oil and it becomes my nighttime moisturiser

Cliganic Organic 100% Pure Argan Oil
I use this twice a week in replacement of my moisturiser, and wake up with smooth skin!
Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask
When I have any pimples or acne, I'll dab just 1 tiny drop of this before applying any serum day or night. Stubborn acne can clear out after about 3 days.
Tea Tree Oil | dōTERRA Essential Oils
I use the Lumispa device with their cleanser for sensitive skin every evening to remove my makeup. My skin had been noticeably cleaner since I started using this set many years ago. Even my beautician saw the difference!

I use this 3-4 times a week to keep my skin firm

I apply this day and night

I'll mix a few drops of this in a glass spray bottle, together with rosewater facial splash I'll shake the bottle first just before I spray onto my face and neck.
Lavender Essential Oil - doTERRA

Vitamin C | Shop by Ingredient | The Ordinary
I'll apply this on my face and neck before my BB cream and makeup

If I'm not meeting anyone in particular, I'll just apply this as my daytime moisturiser on my face. For my neck, I'll still apply the Cerave sunscreen.
