Basically, I would never use all of these at once, but it's my whole repertoire and I use some combination depending on what my skin needs that day. The only non-negotiable items are sunscreen in the morning, cleanser and moisturizer at night; these are marked as "daily". I need to double cleanse because the Australian Gold sunscreen doesn't come off with a regular gentle cleanser. I have a tretinoin prescription for acne, I highly recommend it, but I don't consider it "non-negotiable" because not everyone can get prescriptions.

This sunscreen doesn't irritate the eye area (or any other area), which I LOVE, but it does need a double cleanse. Gentle cleansers alone don't get this waterproof sunscreen off.

I only need to reach for this in deep Canadian winter, but I'm including it nonetheless because it's a LIFE SAVER and also a great overnight lip mask.
