⚠️You are almost certainly underdoing your SPF⚠️
Not because you forget it. Because of how much of it you actually put on. The protection factor on that bottle is measured using a proper thick layer, and almost nobody applies it that thickly, so what you are walking around with is a fraction of the number you paid for. Two finger lengths for the face, one more for the neck. It will feel like far too much the first few times. It is not.
The others matter too, and two of them are worth getting right.
A retinoid is a pea for the entire face, not a pea per area. More is not faster, it is just a stripped barrier and six weeks of undoing it.
Serum is two or three drops. Past that you are paying for something that never gets absorbed.
Amounts may vary depending on which skincare you are using, so treat this as a rough guide for how much you should be getting through in a day rather than a rule.
Save it, then go and have an honest look at what you did this morning.
And if you are using all the right things in all the right amounts and your skin still is not behaving, that is usually the point where it needs a professional eye rather than another product.
