If you wear make up and/or sunscreen, you need to double cleanse at night! This is step one.

Adapalene is a strong retinoid, just a step below prescription strength. It increases cell turnover to help with acne, fine lines, and sun damage.Β 

This is the most effective cruelty free adapalene I've found, but it is strong, so start slow. Try it out 2x a week before you try to ramp it up too much, and make sure you apply this after all other skincare at night. I even use some petroleum jelly...

This invisible sunscreen + primer is great to apply before any makeup, since your 1st layer of sunscreen should go under make-up. This goes one really easily, but dries down well to hold on makeup. I think even oily skin girls might like this one.

I do NOT recommend the β€˜woah glow’ version, which has shimmer in it, and I don't use this for application throughout the day. I only use it as a base.

I have zen and love and I wear them at night and around the house because their hydrating and non-irritating, but don't have SPF, so pair with an SPF balm if your going out in the day.

This is invisible in color, but it is a little oily for the 1st hour. Personally I think it makes me look like a pretty shiny barbie, but to each their own πŸ˜‚

This is a good tanning mitt at a reasonable price since they don't last forever. I really do not recommend getting a one sided one.
