Anti-Aging Skincare Routine
Three things matter for prevention: daily SPF, a retinoid, and antioxidant defense. Everything else is a bonus.
AM
Gentle cleanser → vitamin C serum (SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic or Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum) → moisturizer with peptides → SPF 50.
PM
Double cleanse → retinal/retinol (Avène RetrinAL or Medik8 Crystal Retinal, start 2× per week) → peptide moisturizer → optional sleeping mask.
Frequently asked
When should I start retinol?
Mid-20s for prevention is reasonable; start low (0.025–0.05%) and slow (2× per week).
