The retinol oil is what I hear is great; I have it but need to be more regular about its use.If I were to buy one product from 111 what should I buy?

Has anyone tried Vinters daughter ?
I have tried so many different products for many years and have loved most of them or eventually wanted to try new items. I was hooked on Korean products for quite a long time. I may stick to a few products for a year then add to them or change things around completely. It has been interesting to find after a few years what I prefer and to me may work better for my needs. I also was into a more detailed multi step am/pm routine with quite a few products but have since changed to a simpler routine. But I will change it up depending on how my skin feels or if the seasons change. I buy a lot of samples to try from The Detox Market before I commit to a full size product which enables me to try more high end products. Some I really like but just do not need to buy anything until I use up what I already own. I did try Boxwalla and The Art of Organics beauty boxes and think I had 4 boxes of items that worked out pretty well for me.
Right now my favorites are
Cleanser: Charlotte Tilbury Cream Cleanser or DeMamiel cleansers. I also am hooked on the hot baby washcloth routine I notice such a difference in my skin by spending the time to do this.
Vitamin C: The ordinary Vitamin C in powder form, I can mix it in most face products or in a mask.
Acid: Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 or The Ordinary G. acid.
Serum: African Botanical
I also use The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5/10% as needed and their Peeling Solution once a week
Face spray: May Lindstrom, DeMamiel
Moisturizer: I love oils. Using African Botanicals Oil and also have a nice sample stash of Odacite oils along with Blue Cocoon from May Lindstrom.
I feel as long as I properly cleanse, exfoliate with a acid product, brighten with a vitamin C product and moisturize my skin seems to be looking pretty good.
It really depends on your skin type and concerns. Are you in the US? Rescue Spa (in NY and Philly) carries Biologique and is really helpful with consulting about a product or routine if you contact them by email. I believe Toska (in NC) will do the same.Thank you! Can someone recommend a Biologique Recherche face cream.

That’s a great list - thank you for posting and will refer to it later. I used to spend a lot on my beauty products, they came from byTerry. Although I absolutely loved using them, I found that French pharmacy products like Avène, could do the same job if not better. For the cost of one item from byTerry I could get the whole system from Avène. At the end of the day, there is no single miracle product. Consistency with gentle cleansing, moisturising and protecting will bring good results.
No mention of skin medica tns essential serum, so I’ll throw it out there that and retinol (and obvi sunscreen) are the only constants I find on every derm’s personal list of what they use. None of them mention La Mer or sk ii which makes it so freaking hard to bite the bullet on them even though they’re so widely loved anyone have before and afters on either??
