Skincare at 40, botox

Just looking for any advice from skincare gurus.

I'm approaching 40 😱 and over the past few years my skin is definitely drying out. I wake up with my face feeling tight.

I already have Botox on my crows feet.

Looking for recommendations on skincare to help my dryness and help extend the life of my Botox (if that's possible!). I'm thinking I need hyaluronic acid and niacinamide?

ETA I'm using La Roche Posay at the moment, but I'm not convinced it's right for me
 
You need to introduce some acids into your skincare regime - retinol at night 3x a week, hyaluronic at night the nights you don’t use the retinol and then niacinamide every morning before cream. Double cleanse (2 diff cleansers) morning and night, then a toner. Pixie or clarins are great for these. I’d highly recommend the Charlotte tilbury serums and face creams, they’re incredible. However if too expensive then no7 is also very good and reasonably priced.
Also you could try micro needling or profhilo, can be pricey as you need 2 sessions minimum, but they leave your skin glowing 🙌🏻
