If you’ve been waiting for the sign to upgrade your skincare routine, this is it. Skin Rocks is currently offering 20% off almost everything for Caroline’s birthday! Which means, now’s the time to stock up, or try something new.
When it comes to my PM routine, I like to either keep things simple but high performance, or extend my routine, layering in hydration alongside treatments.
Tonight was a 3-step, intentional, high performance routine with Skin Rocks.

The Balm Cleanser – I won’t go on about this one too much as you can see it all in my previous blog post Is It Worth It?
Retinoid 3 – This is the treatment stage. Once my skin is clean and dry, it’s time to go in with the Retinoid 3. Having used the Retinoid 2 and Dermatica Tretinoin, I knew I would be able to use the Retinoid 3 and not likely experience any issues – I’ve been using it every other night for the last couple of weeks and so far, so good! I’m now upping it to every night. It is an advanced level Vitamin A targeting fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, uneven skintone, dullness and breakouts. If your skin isn’t already used to higher levels of Vitamin A, perhaps try Retinoid 1 or 2 first.
The Support Oil – A firm favourite of mine. I like to use this whether it’s a Retinoid night or not. It is designed to calm the skin and support a healthy skin barrier. It is ideal for dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin. My skin is combination but usually dehydrated so I find this a wonderful addition to my night time routine.
Why This Trio Is a Game-Changer
Skincare doesn’t need to involve a confusing 10-step process. This trio nails the core pillars of an elite evening routine:
- Thorough, gentle cleansing (Balm Cleanser)
- Targeted cell renewal (Retinoid 3)
- Deep barrier repair & nourishment (Support Oil)
🛒 More Skin Rocks Faves Worth Snagging at 20% Off:
- The Moisturiser: I use the Original, but you can opt for Rich or Light depending on your skin type and preferred texture.
- The Amplifier: A super-hydrating essence that boosts whatever you layer over it. I use it AM and PM before my serums (yes, even under Retinoid 3!).
- The Cream Cleanser: Available in Fragranced or Fragrance-Free (I adore the fragranced version). A gentle, barrier-respecting formula that makes a great second cleanse.
- The Gel Cleanser: Brilliant for morning or evening. While I prefer the Balm for heavy makeup, this is my go-to when I’m just removing daily SPF.
