Just curious if anyone has tried both and has an opinion on which (if either) has made more of an impact on their look the next morning? I am mid-30s, have combination skin that’s been looking pretty tired lately, have a date tomorrow night and am planning on doing a 111skin celestial firming sheet mask during the day but feel like getting a head start.

Any input on full night routine would be totally welcome, products I have on hand as optional add-ons are:

Skinceuticals c / p-tiox

Medik8 liquid peptides advanced mp

TNS Advanced (this is brand new and has been a little drying*)

Alastin hyaluronic

Thanks!

Hi! I tried to search to see if this has been answered but only saw (mostly rave!) reviews so hoping someone has any tips:

I googled if I should apply serums before using the Sisley black rose mask and it said to apply after. I am going out tonight and want to look extra fresh so I want to use it, but I feel like putting serums after will be ineffective? Was planning on using skinceuticals vitamin C ferulic, but that seems very much like a waste/pointless. Am I wrong?

Sub questions, if it IS a reasonable serum to apply after, do I moisturize again after I use it? Is there any serum that would be a better option or should I just do the mask and then right to makeup?

Appreciate any advice, thank you!

Okay, I’d like to start by saying I’m sort of a compulsive luxe skincare purchaser and I’ve never had a set routine in my entire life.. there were years where I washed my face maybe 3 times a week and my skin was beautiful.I’m 36 now so granted, I’m not shocked to see some aging happening but I went from strangers thinking I was 26 a couple months ago but ME noticing some changes and developing a consistent routine to my current state of fully sagging, crepey under eyes and neck.

My current morning routine is:

Amorepacific vintage single extract essence

DDG red light mask on face and solawave on neck

Usually M61 super soothe calm+correct toner (just got a sample of Sisley floral toning lotion so sometimes that)

Skinceuticals CEF->P-Tiox (which I also use around my eyes before using Barbara sturm super anti aging eye serum) and my eyes have taken a BEATING so I picked up the Sisley eye and lip contour cream last week thinking that would sort it out which.. so far not even a little.

Revive Lissant line smoothing neck serum followed by a small sample of their new neck cream (in case you can’t tell I routinely get fleeced by reps at bluemercury)

Been struggling with finding an SPF/using sample packet moisturizers for awhile but I just picked up SC physical fusion UV defense sunscreen.

My night routine is less regimented except for the eyes/neck but I always go for super hydrating moisturizers or overnight masks.

Sorry this is SO long, what am I doing wrong and is it just that it’s too many products, specifically around my eyes? I want to get a growth factor in there somewhere and I know I need a retinol but I keep blindly buying shit and the options are so overwhelming these days!

Any advice would be AMAZING thank you!!
