Beauty Tips For Body Care
TLDR; Questions that I need answered and have not been able to find on the sub: 1) does the caffeine solution go on before or after the retinoid? 2) is there a wait time after niacinamide before moisturizer?AM: Cleanse with philosophy purity cleanser Tone with witch hazel (looking for options for a hydrating/gentle toner) The ordinary 5% caffeine solution + EGCG The ordinary niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% Glam glow glowstarter illuminating moisturizerPM: Remove makeup with aveeno makeup wipes for sensitive skin Cleanse with philosophy purity cleanser Tone with witch hazel the ordinary 5% lactic acid (AHA) or the ordinary advanced retinoid 2% The ordinary caffeine solution 5% + EGCC (based on PH I would put this before the retinoid on those nights, but after the retinoid, is this correct??) The ordinary 23% vitamin C suspension Origins make a difference plus creamAfter lurking the sub I bought a few products, the ordinary 23% vitamin c and the 5% lactic acid and today I decided to buy a lot more, after more and more reading of the sub lol. All products are from the ordinary, because lets face it, they're cheap. But I've seen a good amount of good things said on here.I want to make sure I'm going to be applying everything in the correct order, with correct wait times, before I begin this serous regime.My main concern is my under eye circles. They're almost red looking, so I'm thinking it's possibly thin skin. I am also on the fairer end of the skin tone spectrum, not sure if that's also an issue. Second concern is acne. Hormonal on my chin/jaw almost constantly with some randoms on my forehead. Lastly, dryness becomes an issue if I don't moisturize properly. Also worth mentioning that I have a full makeup routine after the skin care.
