Re: Finally found something that worked for me

Thank you for this post. You look amazing!

Even though I use retin-a and sunscreen daily and have for years, I still have some spots on my cheeks that looks just like yours in the before. I have used HQ and it doesn't do anything for me.

I ran right out to K-Mart today and got a jar of Ponds B3 for normal to oily skin. Can't wait to give it it a try.

WOW!!!! Your skins look like a 25 year old! GREAT JOB! Okay so can I get the Retin A from online? Also, where do I get the cranberry oil and vitamin C cream? I'm still a little confused on how you apply this. Do you do this every morning? Also, when do you apply the Neutogena and what is the Ponds product called? Sorry for all the questions but you look amazing! THANKS SO MUCH for POSTING THIS!

Tara Skincare tarasc.com sells retin A-the same brand mentioned by Missbuttercup. Look under acne treatments for .25% or .50%. For some reason the .50% is not showing up under Skin Brightening, Retinal A. It runs about $29 and I beleive shipping is free.

Oh cool! Thanks so much!

I missed this post...but my routine is Cleanse with either paulas choice resist cleanser or Cerave. Apply timeless vit c serum (timeless website, google timeless serum) Apply ponds clarant b3 If wearing SS apply Neutrogena clear face SS Then makeup ( using Neutrogena healthy skin enhancer. ) Dot dry areas with original eucerin. Using original eucerin in teeny amount on my cheekbones looks like a highlighter lol Smiley Wink Nighttime... Use ponds cold cream to take off makeup. Use cleanser. Wait 30 min and apply retin a if it's a retin a night. If not apply vit c serum. , wait then clarant b3 Wait 30 min and then apply pure cranberry seed oil all over, eye area included. I buy my cranberry seed oil from the lotion crafters website
Thanks so much!

Talk about hard to find! LOL. I went to Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, and finally Kmart. Kmart is where I found the Ponds. They are closing and had their beauty stuff 20% off. I had 96¢ on my rewards that I used, so I got it for $5.70. I got the one for Normal to Dry skin.

myshell624, if I'm confusing you with another poster, ignore this FYI, but I thought that you choose not to use products that are made by companies that test on animals. If so, you might want to know that Pond's does test on animals.

it is actually .025% and .05%, not .25 and .50 like everyone keeps posting.

Reposting as I think many are not realizing this if they have not read all through all the posts.....
