7-step routine for fine lines
The Full Ritual. For fine lines, firmness and a little brightness.
This routine: 3 steps · 5 steps · 7 steps. For: Dry skin · Sensitive skin · Breakouts
Why these steps: Retinoids have the strongest evidence of any skincare ingredient for fine lines, and daily sunscreen protects the results. A good moisturiser keeps vitamin A comfortable, and hydrating layers make skin look plumper while it works.
