Our honest take
A long shelf of products is not a routine. We would skip anything with a miracle claim.
Skin responds to consistency more than to products. Choose a short routine you can keep, patch test anything new and give a product at least a month before judging it. Sun protection is the single habit with the best long-term payoff, and it costs the least. Introduce one new product at a time and give it a month, so you know what is actually working.
If you take one thing away: use a moisturizer with sun protection every morning.
