You’ll also find clear answers to common questions like “can I use niacinamide and vitamin C together?”, “hyaluronic acid before or after moisturizer?” and “retinol for beginners - how often and how to start?” Come back often - this hub grows with fresh tutorials so your AM/PM skincare routine keeps improving.

Start Here: The DIME Routine (AM/PM)

AM Skincare Routine: Cleanse, treat (serum), moisturize then SPF

  • Application Tips: Apply formulas from the thinnest-to-thickest for efficient product layering; use hyaluronic acid before moisturizer.  
  • Rule of thumb: SPF is the final daytime step; SPF 30 vs 50 filters a similar % of UVB, but proper application and reapplication make the meaningful difference.

PM Skincare Routine: Cleanse (double cleanse if needed), retinol alternative, moisturize , eye cream and additional treatments

  • Application tips: Alternate chemical or physical exfoliants with actives like retinol or backuchiol to avoid irritation.

What Skincare Products Work Best Together

  • Hydration & Barrier Repair: hyaluronic acid, ceramide moisturizer and facial oil.
  • Brightening Routine: vitamin C (AM), niacinamide daily, gentle AHA 1–3×/week (alternate with a retinol alternative).
  • Acne Skincare Routine: BHA toner (2 - 4×/week), niacinamide, lightweight non comedogenic moisturizer.
  • Age-Defense: retinol for beginners 2 - 3×/week, peptides, daily SPF.
  • Sensitive Skin Routine: fragrance free cleanser, vegan, cruelty free skincare moisturizer, mineral SPF.
