ok so these three are solidly in the daily rotation now w/ alternating the two eye ones every other night and applying the hydrating cream after serums and before sunscreen before i go out. have tried in various climates (dry fall vegas/los angeles and bangkok) and seem to do fine. i have also been applying the inisfree cream at night too sometimes cuz im currently figuring out my refreshed bedtime moisturizing strat is gonna be.

rationale w/ alternating two eye creams is similar goals and some overlapping ingredients but only summer fridays one has a retinol-y ingredient so lowers chances of irritation.

i’m in the middle of dialing in/expanding my routine based on a essentials+ strat as i “go to school” so in terms of what i’m looking into next:

• light exfoliation
• mild retinol

will start those in a phased approach w/ exfoliation first as soon as i’m back in the states this week.

stay tuned for more details in a few weeks or so. also, might do a recurring “my current routine” post if it’d be useful!
