Retin-A, Vitamin C and what else?

I would love to use 100 skin care products, but I know that's crazy.

I use Retin-A, Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, Lancome Genifique, Estee Lauder Night Repair.

When I use Retin-A, I only use a moisturizer over it. The other stuff I use every other night.

Retin-A and Vitamin C seem not optional.

Besides those two, what other products do you feel are really important for skin care?

I personally wouldn't be without my BHA. I've tried a few other things and can always tell a difference in my skin. I use Paula's Choice Resist 2% BHA liquid. Sunscreen is also a must have and I prefer ones with a high amount of zinc oxide. Andalou Naturals and Devita have some good ones.

I agree that Vitamin C and Retin-a or Retinol are a great base for an effective skincare routine.
