Morning Routine

— Protect + Glow

  1. Cleanser (not specified — choose one suited to your skin type)
    Why: Cleansing removes overnight buildup so your skincare can absorb properly.

  2. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
    Why: Helps control oil, minimize pores, and calm redness — your canvas for glow.

  3. Revision Skincare D·E·J Daily Boosting Serum
    Why: Delivers peptides and antioxidants to hydrate and defend against environmental stress throughout the day.

  4. CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 (affordable option)
    Why: Lightweight, non-greasy protection with ceramides and niacinamide to lock in hydration.
    or
    Murad SuperActive Moisturizer SPF 50 (advanced all-in-one)
    Why: Combines firming, hydration, and broad-spectrum SPF for wrinkle-fighting daily defense.

  5. Optional: DRMTLGY Physical Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 44 (replaces moisturizer + makeup)
    Why: Adds sheer coverage, hydrates, and protects — perfect for busy mornings or no-makeup days.

Evening Routine

— Repair + Restore

  1. Cleanser
    Why: Removes SPF, pollutants, and makeup, preparing your skin for repair.

  2. CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum (beginner-friendly)
    Why: Improves skin tone and texture gently with encapsulated retinol + ceramides.
    or
    Obagi Retinol 0.5% Retexturizing Cream (intermediate users)
    Why: Micro-encapsulated formula boosts cell turnover to soften fine lines and dark spots.
    or
    Obagi360 Retinol 1.0 (advanced users)
    Why: High-strength retinol encourages deep renewal for experienced retinoid users.

  3. Moisturizer (your favorite non-active night cream)
    Why: Seals in retinol, prevents dryness, and supports overnight recovery.

  4. Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops (optional glow step)
    Why: Hydrates and brightens with niacinamide and watermelon extract. Apply last for a dewy finish.

Quick Tips:

  • Introduce retinol slowly (2–3 nights per week) to avoid irritation.

  • Always wear SPF the next day after using retinol.

  • For extra radiance, mix Dew Drops with makeup or dab on high points of the face.
