Common questions about serums for mature skin in humid climates
In the morning, cleanse, apply your serum, let it sink in, then follow with moisturiser (if needed) and sunscreen. At night, cleanse, apply your hydrating serum, wait a few minutes, then apply your retinoid on dry skin if it is part of your routine, and finish with a light cream. If your skin gets irritated easily, use retinoids only a few nights a week and keep the other nights “barrier nights” with just your serum and moisturiser.
