Morning: Protect & Brighten

Cleanse: Rinse with plain lukewarm water or a gentle non-foam cleanser. Save your CeraVe Blemish Control cleanser for the evening; using salicylic acid twice daily alongside anti-aging actives can compromise your moisture barrier.
Treat (Fading Marks & Anti-Aging): Apply a Vitamin C Serum (10–15% L-Ascorbic Acid or Ascorbyl Glucoside). Vitamin C stimulates collagen, actively lightens post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and amplifies sun protection against Barcelona's strong UV rays.
Hydrate & Shield: Apply a light layer of Deliplus (or an oil-free gel-cream in high heat), followed immediately by your La Roche-Posay UVMune 400 Oil Control SPF. Continuous UV protection is non-negotiable for preventing deep skin aging and stubborn dark spots.

Evening: Resurface & Rebuild

Cleanse: CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser. The salicylic acid breaks down oil, sweat, and pollutants accumulated throughout the day.
Treat (Texture & Collagen): Granactive retinoid is gentle, but it lacks the horsepower to significantly alter old acne scars or deep aging at 42. Upgrade to Retinaldehyde (e.g., Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 5 or Avène Hyaluron Activ B3) or a local Spanish pharmacy classic like Tretinoin 0.025% (Retirides). Retinaldehyde converts to active retinoic acid much faster, dramatically accelerating skin cell turnover and collagen synthesis. Apply 2–3 nights a week on dry skin, gradually increasing frequency.
Moisturize: Wait 10 minutes after your retinoid, then apply your Deliplus moisturizer to lock in hydration and offset any potential peeling.

Weekly Booster

Exfoliation (1 night per week): Swap out your retinoid once a week for a dedicated Glycolic Acid Exfoliant (7–10%). Glycolic acid works on the upper layers of skin to loosen dead cells, smoothing out micro-texture and helping your retinoids penetrate more effectively.
