My skin is looking really dull lately and I’ve been noticing more fine lines. I stay hydrated and use a basic moisturiser twice a day but I’m looking to start a new skincare routine. Any beginner products/ routines you’d recommend for tired/dull skin? TIA

Bringing in an AHA like lactic or glycolic acid can be helpful for dullness. The ordinary is a good shout, especially their 5% lactic acid.
Can vouch for this! I have sensitive/dry skin and use the 5% Lactic Acid by TO and it’s made my skin lovely and glowy and smooth. Think this is a great starting point for use of exfoliating acids!
I love the glycolic acid by TO as it has glycerin that also plumps the skin. Great shout nekako-somehow on the acid tip!
I really want to try it, but it's forever sold out!

my favourite actives are vitamin c (as was previously posted), and gentle acids like pixi clarity, herbivore prism, etc. (i see acids suggested but the TO formulation was never good for my skin)
and not to mom you, but wear 👏 sunscreen 👏 in the morning when you're using any actives. they all increase sun sensitivity and potential reactions.
edit: words
I would recommend a vitamin C in the mornings for some radiance. Maybe a brightening eye cream too if you like that sort of thing. You could also add more hydration with some sort of mist/hyaluronic acid/both to make your skin feel a bit juicier.
Great thank you!!
