My updated evening Skincare routine! A few things have changed including some new retinoids! This routine shows the retinoid I'm using on my non-tretinoin nights. Stay tuned for a second part showing my Tret-night routine using an exciting new formula.
As I'm getting asked about this ALOT, just wanted to let you know that I will have my annual box of Holiday Wishes this year available very soon!

My Monday just got a lot better <3
Have always enjoy watching your routines through the years 🧡
There’s a reason why she’s the goddess of skincare, not only informative she also reviewed products with a wide price range starting from the affordable to the luxury ones. I’ve Been watching her beauty vlogs for 7 years now. She’s truly the best.
Same! Been watching her and reading her blog since I was 23 (28 now). I’ve always followed skincare influencers that are several years older because they know what they’re talking about. All my influencers on my feed are in their 50s and they’re all looking fabulous!
Hi! New subscriber here.. Hope you can also try out Naturekind Super Barrier Cream. It has 5% urea, ceramides, panthenol and other amazing ingredients. Tried a LOT, and this has become my holy grail! 💞
Lovely to see a Dr Sam Flawless product in your routine. Such great formulas! Think you may have missed it off your product listing though?!
It’s on there. Between her essence and the Wishtrend retinol cream.
Thank u for the video! Question, when is best time to use facial oil (rose hip seed) if it tends to weaken efficacy of sunscreen and if I use tret every night.
I apply oils at night after nighttime skincare has completely absorbed.
@jennifer arlene , thank u . I am concerned though about using with tret as rose hip seed is a form of plant based Vit a as well and i dont want to irritate
@Midlife Mom True. I think I have skin of steel. lol
You can always alternate one night tret and the next night oil. Sadly, that’s what I’ve had to do to incorporate other actives.
Thanks for the little hint about the box of skincare wishes…one of my favorite things about the holiday season!
I was so excited to see this upload! Could you please make a 2022 budget friendly skincare video? I love your product recommendations but I can’t afford all of them
I have The Ordinary peptides and copper serum, just purchased it. Is there a big difference?
If you are already using tretinoin, what is the need for retinal? Maybe you will talk about this in your next video.
I love your essence, it’s incredible 😍😍😍
I have eyelash extensions so would this be ok to use?
Lowkey teasing us with your annual Wishtrend beauty box!! will definitely get it this year. as the last one I got was from 2019 and since I am hooked! woooh!
Hi Renee – so happy to see you… good timing as I’ve been slacking on skincare for the first time in many years. Need the inspiration – thanks for your content!
I was just watching you this morning in my way to work & now I see this!! What a gift ❤ thank you for all of your advice Renee!
The sales associate at my local Niod store told me that using any retinol product with the CAIS does in fact decrease the efficacy of the copper peptide…so confused…
Anyone know the % of retinal in the wishtrend product?
My skin is too sensitive for harsh ingredients like retinoids/tretinion/vitc/salicylic. Would peptides serum be suitable for a sensitive, dehydrated combination acne prone skin? Niod is better than Ordinary or Biossance? Please guide
Hello Renee,I was curious what your thoughts were on PEG’s Phenoxyethanol and other “new” preservatives.
Thanks and greetings from the Netherlands.
*I always enjoy seeing what you’re using. However, you combined copper peptide with a vit C, they cancel each other out, it’s been proven by several studies.*
