What's a basic skincare routine?

Morning: cleanser, moisturizer, SPF 30+. Evening: cleanser, treatment (retinol or acid), moisturizer. That's 90% of what any dermatologist would recommend.

Follow-up questions

Do I need serums?

Vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night have the most evidence. Skip the rest until you have a specific concern.

Expensive vs drugstore?

Formulation matters more than price. CeraVe, La Roche-Posay, and The Ordinary are dermatologist favorites.
