Hi there. Keep things simple and focus on just a few ingredients for now. gentle cleanser, lightweight moisturizer, & sunscreen. For actives= niacinamide, zinc PCA, salicylic acid, azelaic acid, and retinoids tend to help oily skin the most long term (but just pick 1 depending on what you need).

Hi @leahg2 ! “A better one” depends on your skincare goals and skin behavior. What’s better for me might not be for you. With that in mind: What do you want a niacinamide serum to do for your skin? what results do you want to see?Is your skin sensitive to any specific ingredients?Remember that results can take 1-2 months of consistent use to see, depending on what results you’re after. And be careful not to fall into the “but what if there’s something better” trap, where you end up wasting time and money trying lots of products despite the one you’ve already got working well for you. I mean, I understand wanting to have a second option in case your favorite gets discontinued or reformulated for worse (has happened often to me), but you can save yourself some frustration by sticking with just one or two options you like.

@danielledanielle Great picks! My fav is Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen 1.7 oz / 50 mL I haven’t tried the new formula but this one doesn’t irritate my skin or make my eyes water like some do!!

At 68, some skin laxity after rapid weight loss is normal, and creams can help a bit—look for retinol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid for mild firming and hydration, but realistic expectations matter. Non-invasive treatments like radiofrequency or ultrasound can tighten skin without surgery. You can also explore reviews and options on sunber hair, where people share experiences with beauty and care products that may complement your routine.

Thanks for sharing this, it’s really helpful and exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m currently also trying to find good options for fading dark spots and improving skin texture, so this post came at the right time. I recently came across omega xl customer service, and it actually made me think more about starting vitamins to help my skin look more elastic and healthy overall. I think taking care of skin consistently really makes a difference over time. I’ll definitely look into some of the recommendations here!

I really love learning new skincare routines like this. Your approach of focusing more on skin health instead of perfection is actually really refreshing. I’ve also been getting more into skincare lately and trying to understand what my skin really needs instead of just trying random products. After reading about crepe erase customer service, I started paying more attention to different skincare options and ingredients in general. It’s interesting how slowing down and being consistent can make such a difference. Hope your routine keeps working well for you

Sorry I ment to say I use the toner and don’t have acne

@Leah590 Glad you have a skincare routine that works for you! I gotta say though, your routine isn’t “the right way” for everyone, and neither is mine—and that’s okay. I mean, the basic skincare steps are wash, treat, moisturize, and (in the morning) protect with sunscreen. But some people apply certain serums (usually a retinoid) after moisturizer to reduce side effects, because moisturizer can act as an irritation buffer. Other people don’t need a toner. Some folks don’t need facial sprays at any point in their routine. Heck, seasonal weather changes can affect skincare routines differently for everyone. On warm weather mornings I skip the moisturizer step and let my sunscreen pull double duty, but on winter mornings my mostly-dry combo skin needs a separate moisturizer under sunscreen. We don’t all have the same skin type/behavior, issues, or goals, after all. 🙂

Hi Memz. The main thing to prioritize is a mineral SPF with zinc oxide as the primary filter because it sits on the skin rather than absorbing into it, which is significantly gentler for reactive skin. To avoid white cast look for micronized/nano zinc oxide formulations or a hybrid mineral-chemical formula (if your skin tolerates it). Fragrance-free/alcohol-free are non-negotiable. A tinted mineral SPF is worth considering too. Hope this helps!
