saw a dude in the gym yesterday with perfect skin, asked him his stack and he said "i just drink water and sleep." we all know he's gatekeeping the retinol, but it got me thinking. most of you are spending hundreds on serums while sleeping 5 hours and eating trash.
if your barrier is compromised, no amount of expensive gunk will stop you from being a sub-5 subhuman. focus on the basics before you buy into the marketing cope:
fix your lifestyle first, then start a basic retinoid cycle. stop trying to buy your way out of a poor diet. trust the process.

- cleanser (gently, morning and night)
- moisturizer (don't skip even if oily)
- spf (the only anti-aging that actually works)
- sleep (the ultimate recovery)
