@NataliaGar I wouldn't call them glowy, but my favorite moisturizers are the Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench® Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating Moisturizer the Drunk Elephant Protini™ Polypeptide Firming Refillable Moisturizer and the Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Mineral SPF 30 Refillable Moisturizer They all leave my skin so very soft. I'm 46 and I also have normal skin with puffy bags. I've just ordered the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Bags Daytime Treatment for Eye Bags, Puffiness and Crepey Skin 0.5 oz / 15 mL so, fingers crossed! 🤞

Hi @ThatsPeachy! A simple routine can consist of cleanser, serums, moisturizer, and sunscreen. There’s plenty of great suggestions here already. If you want to piece something together to create a more specific routine for his concerns, I would suggest something like Inkey List’s Niacinamide Serum (I would normally tag the product but there seems to be issues with Sephora today.) It’s dual purpose: it helps control oil production and also helps reduce hyperpigmentation. If he finds the salicylic acid cleanser that someone suggested is too harsh and his skin is feeling irritated from it, he can alternate between that and Inkey List’s Hyaluronic Acid cleanser. It’s a very gentle cleanser. It might also help with oiliness if the cause is due to skin dehydration. Skin will produce oily sebum to help combat excessive dryness. Hyaluronic acid can help draw moisture back into the skin to prevent that. And just because he’s got oily skin doesn’t mean he should skip moisturizer. He can get away with a light one. In keeping with the Inkey List theme I have here, there’s a nice Vitamin B,C, and E moisturizer. Lastly, sunscreen. If he’s an active, outdoorsy guy, he might already have something he uses. Just make that the top layer. If not, Inkey List also has a sunscreen. The polyglutamic acid in it is a moisturizing ingredient, so depending on how he feels, he could alternate between using the sunscreen during the day and the moisturizer in the evening. My last tip to help the routine stick would be doing it together, whether in-person or over a video call. You can guide him through in the evening before bed every other day for a week, then go daily in the evening for another week, then add the morning in the third week. This will also give his skin some time to grow accustomed to some of the active ingredients and prevent irritation that might otherwise turn him off from the idea. Yes, we’re playing some mind games here but this is how I started off with my wife and it worked! Now I’m a skincare junkie. I hope this helps! I’d love to hear updates if you have a chance!

I really love the #glow recipe spf 50 niacinamide sunscreen! I recommend getting it. I don’t really like the unseen sunscreen by supergoop because it’s too oily (my skin type is normal folks) and I don’t want my skin to have such an oily texture. The glow recipe one does not have a white cast and also doesn’t smell much like watermelon! Hope this helps! (I couldn’t pull up the unseen sunscreen on the listed products

@gennesisslays @What is your skin type?

I've been using LuminanceBliss' pink sugar body wash and green tea face cleanser. Then I use their rosehip and hibiscus face cream and if needed any of their 5 concentrated serums. I love LOVE their spirulina and chlorella bar soap!

The Poutsicle lipstain causes an allergic reaction on my lips. I hate that it does because I love but had to stop using it.

These are great! The only thing is, some of these options are quite expensive. If you prefer a cheaper alternative, you could use The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum or the Byoma creamy jelly cleanser and moisturizing gel cream! (This works for my teen skin) happy holidays!
