This is my current skincare routine, with two notable new features: I’ve been using a very strong retinoid every few nights and at the same time I’ve made a real cutback on other actives such as AHAs. I’ve listed it in full below!

Hi everyone, I’m Ruth Crilly and I’ve been blogging about beauty full-time since 2010. My interest in beauty and skincare started along with my modelling career in 2001 and I have been writing and vlogging about tried-and-tested products and my skincare routines for ten years.

For context, I am 39 with normal/combination skin that gets dry when I use retinol and oily before my period. I have two young kids, don’t get enough sleep but also I do’t smoke and rarely drink. I haven’t ever had any surgery/fillers/botox. Yet! Never say never….

PM - Cleanse, Hydrating Serum, Moisturise

As above but no SPF and a proper balm cleanser, I’ve been using:

Emma Hardie Moringa Light Gel, £34 here*: http://tidd.ly/99e8c9bc

Pestle & Mortar Renew Gel, £38 here*: http://tidd.ly/1c6393b6

PM Treat

Every three or four nights (I’m working my way up to every other night!) I use the R-Retinoate below. Sometimes I follow with a bit of moisturiser, often I just use it alone!

Medik-8 R-Retinoate Intense, £210 here: https://www.medik8.com/r-retinoate-intense.html

Medik8 also do the Crystal Retinal in different strengths, the 10 is MEGA! I used the 6 without any fallout (as in my face falling off) whatsoever and thought it was brilliant - it’s £59 here: https://www.medik8.com/crystal-retinal.html

For an incredibly strong retinol (1%!) without the humungous pricetag then do look at Paula’s Choice here*: http://bit.ly/2ScPYhn It’s £12 for the smallest bottle or £53 for the 30ml size and it’s really bloody potent.

With all of these, please start off slowly and apply a moisturiser first if you’re being extra cautious - the moisturiser acts as a sort of buffer. I use the retinol products above straight onto clean skin, but only once every three nights. Once I want to increase the effect I will use every other night but with a hyaluronic acid serum beforehand or even a moisturiser beforehand!
