This cleanser is perfect for my often sensitive skin: very mild and effective at the same time. There is really no dirt left on the skin.

Toner
instytutum resurfacing glow toner
Because of my acne scars, I use this mild toner with glycolic acid and niacinamide. It refines my skin texture and makes a natural glow.

Serum
instytutum anti-wrinkle brightening c-erum
Every skin care routine needs a good vitamin C product! It took me a long time to get this serum recommended. Now I don't want to miss it anymore! It makes the skin tone even and stimulates collagen formation.

Face Oil
instytutum powerful retin oil
For scars, a real power oil with bakuchiol and an ester of retinoic acid. I only need one drop per cheek and forehead.

Moisturizer
clinique superdefense spf 40
My current favorite moisturizer. Has many good antioxidants and a high SPF. Sun protection is a must for me on every single day. Because it is the best way to prevent sun damage, wrinkles and skin aging.
Yes, there are a few brands from Germany that I like :) Dermaviduals (only available through beauticians), Barbor and Dr. Hauschka are highly recommended.
Thanks for sharing! I often forget Clinique has great products and overlook their offerings for newer, *shinier* products. But perhaps it's time that I go back and take another look.
In addition to vitamin C, the Instytutum serum also has nourishing ingredients such as niacinamides. Compared to products from The Ordinary or The Inkey List, I have absolutely no burning sensation on the skin. But yes, instytutum is not cheap. Maybe Paula's Choice is an alternative for you?
Yes, you can buy YTTP in several online shops in Germany ;) And the Instytutum Retin Oil has no Retinol in it but bakuchiol and hydroxypinacolone retinoate - both you can use also AM.
I became aware of the brand through Instagram. And yes, I highly recommend them products! However, they are also a bit expensive, I always order when there are good offers.
Whoooa Powerful Retin Oil sounds... powerful. Do you put this on in the morning? Also, can we talk about the packaging for the clinique gel. I love it!
