Add the Vit C and the Rose Hip Oil for now and see how it goes. Just remember to try to get the most out of any one product you use. I may check out the cleanser you suggested. My skin can be sensitive at times and I have been using Purity and Miracle Lactic Cleanser because they do not irritate me. I have Alba Botanica Coconut Milk and Pineapple Enzyme and I love them but they don't always love me. I have used the Mario B pink powder for blemishes and I do like it. I have a sample of a cream of his but I have not tried it yet. My skin can be sensitive at times and I have found that the ASDM products used in moderation will not irritate me. I was trying to use many at one time, lol, not a good idea.
Kat, thanks so much for your help! I will try the new products when they go on sale. I learned the hard way to only use 1 new product at a time, to make sure your skin likes it. I know you will like the Andalou..I also use Aubrey Calming cleanser..been using it for years. But, the SA suggested the A line and I'm glad I tried it! I get bored, lol.
I get bored also with cleansers. I am so fickle, lol. I did look it up and found it under vitacost I think. It was a few hours ago. I started going into coconut oil creams after that. I love coconut oil but hate the greasy feel. Then I found Kiss My Face (?) and remember seeing that at the grocery store. I can go off on tangents, lol. I am going to stick with the ASDM products but I could use a new cleanser. I like the smell of roses now after 20 years of not liking the smell. Age changes us.
I've always loved skincare and makeup. I've really gotten back into it lately! I want to give my skin the best shot for looking young. I've taken good care of my skin since I was a teenager. Its paid off so far. I'm so grateful to get info from you and others about the best products for anti aging. Do you think I need to use a retinol product?? or just stay with the C for now?? I have tried to keep it natural, my skin responds best to organic products. I notice the ASDM has simple ingredients, I really like that. My derm told me Less is More, and to keep things as simple as possible.
I used PTR Retinol for a short time. This was after reading the benefits of retin-a. Unless you catch his 5.00 trial size sales his products can be costly. (I did like that his was an oil that absorbs quickly like argon oil does) I found a lady who sells benoquin which is the product I need to keep my skin spot free from the vitiligo. It is no longer sold in the US because the company manufacturing it felt it wasn't cost efficient. She has contacts from out of the country. After learning to trust her I ordered retin-a .05% from her. I have used it but my skin can become very irritated and I've ended up with red, raw skin several times. I now use it on top of my creams which makes it less effective but less irritating. I think that retinol is a good product to use in some form. I would start with retinol not retin-a and see how your skin handles it. ASDM has a good price for the product. That or you can try the CoQ10 Cream which has retinol in it but also has other ingredients that are also beneficial. It is a night cream but it also has Vit C in it with essential oils. It is 25.00. BTW I also buy my oils from ASDM since I trust in their products. After reading up on the products I started reusing this cream myself at night. I was using the collagen but I can use that during the day if need be.
