The internet harbours a wealth of skincare advice, but having so much information at our fingertips can cause confusion.
Sometimes, less is more when it comes to the products we use on our skin; and one content creator has proven just how effective a simple approach can be.
In a recent clip, Lisa B, who goes by @lisabbeauty on TikTok, shared the simplified night-time routine she follows for glowing skin at almost 46.
The regimen consists solely of four simple steps, focussing on cell turnover and moisturising.

The routine begins with applying a pea-sized amount of tretinoin to a dry and clean face.
Following the tretinoin application, Lisa B applies a moisturiser to hydrate the skin, followed by an eye cream.
Finally, she completes the routine with a lip salve to lock in moisture overnight.
The minimalist approach stands in stark contrast to the complex, multi-step routines often promoted on social media.
Viewers were quick to praise Lisa’s approach in the comment section. One commentator wrote: “Love the simplicity. I can’t stand the ten step routines.”
Lisa responded by sharing: “I honour my late mother and ancestors with simplicity in skin care. They had very few options […] and still had beautiful skin.”
“Your skin looks amazing,” praised another viewer, while a third commentator emphasised the importance of the star ingredient in the routine, noting: “Lovely skin! Tretinoin is a must!”
Tretinoin, a prescription-strength derivative of vitamin A, has emerged as a gold standard in anti-ageing skin care.

The treatment has gained recognition for its effectiveness in target multiple skin concerns, including wrinkles, skin pigmentation and acne.
Much of tretinoin’s success stems from its vitamin A derivative, which works by boosting collagen levels in the skin.
This increase in collagen helps maintain skin elasticity, making it a powerful took in anti-ageing skin care routines.
It has enjoyed popularity among thousands of mature women, including Robyn Ann Hampton, who discussed how to use the product on her TikTok channel.
