What Order Should My Skincare Routine Be? I’m going to be honest, I’m not a huge fan of articles such as these. I think they insult your intelligence by claiming that it’s just too difficult to figure this out.
It’s really not. It’s actually very straightforward and I resent the way beauty articles are written, as if their readers are completely lost and frazzled.

Read ‘why is glycolic acid (a chemical exfoliator) good for your skin?’ here.
However, I know other people have different and worse skin concerns than I do. These are just a place to start.

You know your skin better than anyone. So, when it comes to which of these product you need and which you don’t, it’s best to use your intuition.
See how your skin feels when you add or detract products from your routine and you will inevitably find the routine and order that works for you.
