Fine Lines & Wrinkles” skincare combo,
✨ The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane
Benefits:
- Gentle beginner-level retinol (1%) reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven tone
- Squalane base hydrates and soothes, reducing dryness and irritation commonly tied to retinoids
How to Use:
Apply a few drops in the evening, after cleansing and before moisturizer. Begin with 2–3 nights per week, easing into nightly use as your skin adjusts . Always follow with SPF in the morning.
🧪 The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution
(Assuming included)
Benefits:
- Mild AHA exfoliant that smooths texture, brightens tone, and boosts product absorption
How to Use:
Apply with a cotton pad at night after cleansing. Avoid using on the same nights as retinol to minimize irritation.
🧴 The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
Benefits:
- Powerful chemical peel that resurfaces skin, clears congested pores, and refines texture
How to Use:
Use once weekly in the evening on dry, clean skin. Leave on for 5–10 minutes (start with 5), then rinse and follow with moisturizer. Don’t use it on the same night as retinol or glycolic acid. Always use SPF next day.
🧼 CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (or Skin‑Renewing Line)
Benefits:
- Rich, non-comedogenic moisturizer packed with ceramides, hyaluronic acid & (optionally) encapsulated retinol + SPF
- Helps restore skin barrier, deeply hydrates, and softens fine lines & dryness
How to Use:
Apply morning and evening as the final step: after treatments and serums, before sunscreen in AM routine.
🔄 Suggested Routine
Morning (AM)
- Cleanser
- CeraVe Moisturizer (with SPF if included)
- Sunscreen (mandatory on all retinoid/acid days)
Evening (PM)
- Regular nights: Cleanser → Glycolic Toner → Moisturizer
- Retinol nights (2–3×/week): Cleanser → Retinol in Squalane → Moisturizer
- Peel night (1×/week): Cleanser → AHA/BHA Peeling Solution (5–10 min) → Moisturizer
✅ Why This Works
- Retinol promotes collagen, refines texture, and fights aging signs.
- HA & Ceramides in squalane and CeraVe deeply hydrate and reinforce barrier—crucial when using retinoids
- Layered approach balances potent actives with soothing care for optimal anti-aging results.
💡 Pro Tips
- Always patch-test and introduce retinol gradually.
- Skip other strong actives (like AHAs/BHAs) on retinol nights.
- Wear SPF diligently—retinoids increase sun sensitivity.
- Consistency is key: visible fine line reduction and smoother texture typically appear in a few weeks.
In summary:
This combo pairs gentle retinol, optional surface exfoliation, and rich barrier support to deliver smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin—perfect for targeting fine lines and wrinkles safely and effectively.
