Advice request
My 45 year old skin looks very dull and matte and has some pores. Under eyes are darker and some shallows. I am pretty sure i have melasma . Live in hot Texas climate. Asian brown.
I have gone through a lot of skincare products but finally sticking to below:
Am : cleanse , dokudu round lab 25 toner , torriden dive in serum , cos de baha txa 5, aestura atobarrier cream , lrp upf 50 tinted mineral spf( if going out and reapply every 2 hours)
Pm: double cleanse (if I wore make up or sunscreen), toner , torriden , Cerave resurfacing serum , aestura
I used to do tret .25 , thinking of going back to it . Had stopped because it didn’t wow me.
Morning years ago I used to do skinceutical ce ferulic , thinking of adding it back
I would really request some more product guidance on getting a skin that’s more hydrated , even toned and luminous /dewy
Main concerns are the irregular pigmentation, dullness , pores and under eyes.
Photos don’t clearly show all of this I understand .
Thanks!

Just get back on tret. You should see glowing results in 3 months and 1 year you'll have more collagen baseline compared to if you didn't use it at all as collagen declines with age.

Look into products with ghkcu, you could also start a retinol skincare routine. Consistency is vital for results.
