The St. George Half Marathon has already sold out, and I've joined the official waitlist.

If you registered but can no longer make the race and are planning to transfer your bib, I'd really appreciate it if you could send me a DM. Thanks!

Mid-20s, active (gym 5x/week), combination skin. I've built out a pretty solid routine with the help of this sub. But I want to tackle a few concerns and want to upgrade some products. Would love feedback from this community!

My Current Routine

Before Gym

• Rinse face with warm water
• Moisturizer: Neutrogena Hydroboost (face) / Lubriderm (body)
• Sunscreen: La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk SPF 60

Post Gym (AM)

• Cleanser: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
• Vitamin C: Trader Joe's Vitamin C Serum (15% L-Ascorbic Acid, 1% Alpha Tocopherol, 0.5% Ferulic Acid) — face, dark elbows & knees | wait 60–120 sec
• Niacinamide: The Ordinary 10% + Zinc 1% | wait 60–120 sec
• Caffeine Solution: The Ordinary 5% + EGCG — around eyes | wait 30–60 sec

• Sunscreen: La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk SPF 60

Tretinoin Nights — Mon, Wed, Sun

• Cleanser: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
• Moisturizer (1st layer, wait 15–20 min for fully dry skin): Neutrogena Hydroboost (face) / Lubriderm (body)
• Tretinoin 0.025% — face, dark elbows & knees
• Tretinoin 0.05% — Keratosis Pilaris on arms
• Wait 5 min
• Moisturizer (2nd layer): Neutrogena Hydroboost (face) / Lubriderm (body)

Rest Nights — Tue, Thu, Sat (Sat = shave day, keep it simple)

• Cleanser: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
• CeraVe PM — face
• AmLactin — KP arms, dark elbows & knees
• CeraVe Moisturizing Cream — rest of body
• Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment — eyes
• Trader Joe's Vanilla Lip Mask — lips

AHA/BHA Night — Fri

• Cleanser: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
• Wait 15–20 min (fully dry skin)
• The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution — 8–10 min, rinse
• CeraVe PM (face) / CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (body)

KP arms alternate between AmLactin and Tretinoin 0.05%

Current Concerns

Face

• Uneven skin tone
• Hyperpigmentation
• Occasional pimples post tweezing near eyebrows.

Eyes

• Dark circles and eye bags

Body

• Arms significantly tanner than shoulders — noticeable color difference
• Bacne
• Keratosis Pilaris on shoulders
• Dark/rough elbows and knees

What I'm Considering / Looking For Input On

1. Moisturizer (morning + tret buffer): Looking to replace Neutrogena Hydroboost — considering LRP Toleriane Dermallergo or LRP Toleriane Double Repair. Which is better for a morning moisturize and to sandwich during tret routine?
2. Face Sunscreen: Considering Elta MD UV Clear or LRP Anthelios UV Correct SPF 70. Worth the price jump?
3. Body Sunscreen: Anthelios pills and leaves white cast on clothes. Considering Beauty of Joseon SPF 50+. Need price efficient recommendations for body sunscreen.
4. Vitamin C: Want to upgrade from Trader Joe's — considering Timeless 20% C+E+Ferulic, Mad Hippie, or LRP Pure Vitamin C10. Recommendations?
5. Cleanser (post-gym): Considering Beplain Mung Bean pH-Balanced Foam or an LRP Purifying cleanser. Any other recommendations for post-sweat cleansing?
6. Night Cleanser: Looking at LRP Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser — worth an upgrade?
7. Bacne: Thinking of adding PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash as a body wash or spot treatment. Tips on integrating it without over-drying?
8. Dark elbows, knees, and armpits: Thinking of adding The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution — is this safe to layer with tret on alternate nights?
9. KP on shoulders: Considering replacing AmLactin with LRP Lipikar Urea 10% — is urea noticeably better for KP than lactic acid?
10. Arm tan / uneven skin tone on arms & legs: This is my biggest body concern. Considering Kojic Acid soap, glycolic acid, or AmLactin for gradual de-tanning. What actually works for sun-darkened limbs?
11. AHA/BHA Peel (due for refill): Considering switching to Paula's Choice 2% BHA + mandelic acid instead of the TO peel. Would also consider adding one of these to my morning routine 2x/week — good idea or too much exfoliation?

Any advice on prioritizing these upgrades would also be super helpful — I don't want to overhaul everything at once. Thanks in advance!
