Hi! I recommend the following to boost hydration and maintain a healthy skin barrier:

Dr. Jart+ Mini Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream 0.5 oz / 15 ml

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench® Hyaluronic Cloud Rich Barrier Moisturizer 1.7 oz / 50 mL

Skinfix barrier+ Strengthening and Moisturizing Triple Lipid-Peptide Refillable Cream with B-L3 3.3 ...

TULA Skincare 24-7 Moisture Intense Ultra Hydrating Day & Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid + Squalan...

The INKEY List Polyglutamic Acid

To refine skin texture, I suggest exfoliating 2-3 times a week (AHA & BHA) and use retinol/retinal (latter is more potent):

Right now, I’m loving Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Extra Strength Daily Peel Pads for exfoliation although it’s very expensive. It also comes in regular strength and sensitive.

For retinol/retinal, The Ordinary has a few options. Their strongest one is the The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion Serum 0.5 oz / 15 ml (this is very potent so be careful).

There’s also:

Paula's Choice Clinical PRO Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment for Clear, Luminous Skin 1 oz / 30...

Murad Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Treatment 1 oz / 30 mL

Youth To The People Retinal + Niacinamide Youth Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL

Be sure to wear sunscreen during the day when using retinol/retinal as it can make your skin sensitive to the sun.

Look into peptides to firm the skin; for redness, I heard great things about Dr. Jart+ Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 1.7 fl. oz/ 50 mL 🙂
