34f I think I've hit the ceiling with topical skincare and it's frustrating. My routine is top retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide, SPF, the whole recommended lineup. My skin is definitely better than if I did nothing but the improvements stopped a while ago. I've been consistent for well over a year and I'm just not seeing progress anymore. Is this it? Is this the best it gets with products alone? I feel like there's this huge gap between a good skincare routine and expensive in-office treatments and I don't know what fills it. What moved the needle for you when products stopped being enough?
