@Harpa, I had thought about using the Peptide Cream during the day. That thought did strike me. Just decided to pass to save some money. I am sure a few other things will come my way that will tempt. me. Lol!

@Icegoddess, it has always been my understanding that peptides should not be used at the same time as Retin A.

@segrl21, my derm does recommend using a moisturizer over top but not one with peptides in it. It weakens the Retin A is what I have always been told.

@Tricolor, thanks for the info.  I did a quick Google and found a couple of articles on the subject.  One suggested alternating them, but the other one actually recommended using them together.  I know it's not in-depth research, but if you want to check it out:

@Icegoddess, thank you for the link. That's something new to me but I am not an expert. As with everything, there are new opinions about what we once believed to be true. Well anyhoo I saved some money this time around.

She doesn't seem to have anything good to say about other lines except hers. I stopped trusting her years ago.

@BARBIE100, she is no longer associated with Beautypedia. But I disagree with your assessment when she was in charge of it. She gave four stars to many, many items, even having a "best" category.

I did end up getting the TSV.  I thought the price was good.  $83 for one product is too much for my pocketbook, but divided by 3 is quite reasonable.  And then QVC gave me a credit, so I ended up getting it for like $79 total.  Not sure what the credit was, maybe shipping for a return when I exchanged something and they sent me 2 back.

this is incorrect.  Paula gives great reviews on many clinique products and on many olay fragrance free products.  I used to think she gave everyone bad reviews too, but then I researched!  I don't know why this is typing so big, LOL
