8 Steps
Night Time Routine

STEP
1
Oil Cleanser
burt's bees restoring cleansing balm
Haven't tried this with waterproof makeup. I tend to wear really light makeup and this does the job of a first cleanse. It does leave a little film behind but it doesn't bother me since I go in with a second cleanser.
STEP
2
Cleanser
youth to the people superfood antioxidant cleanser
One of the best cleansers I've tried. I was hesitant about using it on my dry skin, but it's amazing.
STEP
3
Serum
good molecules hyaluronic acid serum
Doesn't pill like a lot of HA serums and I love it.
STEP
4
Treatment
curology base formula
.009% Tretinoin - pore-cleansing, acne-busting, and anti-aging 4% Niacinamide - fight fine wrinkles, redness, and dark spots 5% Tranexamic Acid - helps block hyperpigmentation and reduce inflammation

Serum
krave beauty great barrier relief
The love of my life. Saves my dry and/or dehydrated skin every time. I don't use this every night, only when my skin is feeling extra irritated, dehydrated, or looking flaky.
STEP
6
Moisturizer
dr. jart+ ceramidin™ cream
Another love of my life. This has saved my dry, dehydrated skin. This is magic in a bottle.
STEP
7
Eye Cream
cerave eye repair cream
My under eyes can be a little dry and patchy and when they are I use this and it saves the day. I also like to use it under my makeup in the morning when I actually wear makeup. It's become rare these days.
STEP
8
Serum
the ordinary 100% plant-derived squalane
I don't use this every night either but it really does help. I only need 2 or 3 drops of this and my skin feels so hydrated and plump the next morning. Though since this is about to expire, I just recently purchased the "B" Oil from The Ordinary and I'm looking forward to trying that one.

Hi! I wanted to ask if about the hylaronic acid from Good Molecules. How does it feel on the skin and does it give you any boost or something? I have dry skin too and want to add hylaronic acid to my routine but not sure if it's a good idea or should I add niacinamide instead. So I hope you can help!

You can use both Niacinamide and an HA serum at the same time! The Good Molecules HA serum sinks into my skin quickly and doesn't pill up like a lot of other HA serums. Plus, it's affordable! It brings a glow and plumpness to my skin. The texture of the serum is really nice as well :) I use the Purito Centella Unscented Serum which contains Niacinamide. I like it because it has other ingredients and benefits and is better for my sensitive skin. And then on top of that, I use an HA serum. I like serums and essences that have multiple beneficial ingredients so I can keep my routine a little shorter/ I'll specifically look for the product to have whatever ingredient I'm looking for near the top of the list. I do like the added HA though because I have dehydrated skin and need all the hydration I can get. I hope this made sense and helped! If you have any more questions, I'll be happy to try and answer :)
