Are you using Tatcha to cleanse your face? If so are you still using Dr. Gross peel pads? If so how are you using both? Are they too much together?

I am currently using Tatcha Oil (PM) and I've been using the Tatcha Rice Powder occasionally in the AM. Dr. Gross's A/B Daily Peel Pads were a must have for me for over 7 years, however I stopped using them a couple of months ago. Since I have sensitive skin, I would not use Tatcha Rice Powder and then Dr. Gross's Peel Pads. I feel over exfoliation is not a good choice for me, and for that reason I would choose to alternate them in my AM routine. Now, if I had non-sensitive, resistant skin, it may be able to handle both forms of exfoliation back to back without compromising my skin barrier function.

G'Morning!!!!!!! I'm in the midst of Tria Age-Defying Laser treatments (on week 5), so my basic routine is as follows:

PM
Cleanse with Tatcha Oil Cleanser first and then the Tria Cleanser
Wait for face to thoroughly dry - approx 10 minutes
Tria treatment, followed by a few splashes of cool water, then pat dry
Apply Perricone BPOE to eye area and BPFS to face and neck
Wait approx 5 minutes for Blue Plasma to absorb
Apply Perricone AGES to eye area and Vit C Ester 15 to balance of face and neck
Apply face cream/moisturizer

AM
Splash face with warm water and pat dry, then apply Yonka Phyto Contour as a mask to eye area. Allow mask to remain approx 20 - 30 minutes
Cleanse with Tatcha Oil Cleanser - or - Perricone Nutritive Cleanser
Follow with Perricone products - I mask with the Perricone Chloro Plasma every other AM
Apply mineral-based sunscreen

I have made changes to my AM routine, based on complexion issues brought about by the use of the Tria. Twice this week I used Murad's Vit C cleanser followed by their Age Reform Soothing Cream Mask and then their Hydrating Toner.

Someday I must come for tea, and YES, I love, love, love my Foreo!! They are now developing a toothbrush and I am already standing in line.

I just looked this up as I've never run across it before. FYY, SkinStore has it, and all else, on sale 20% right now. Do you use other items in the line?

G'Morning, BellaCarro! I purchase it in the Pro size from a seller on ebay. I actually just purchased the other two eye/lip products (Alpha Contour & Nutri Contour), but I haven't tried either yet. I will probably wait until I complete my Tria treatments to try them.

Maybe 18 years ago now, my brother was temporarily living on Fisher Island, off the coast of Miami and I was visiting. They have a very well known prominent spa on the Island and my sweet Bro set me up for a half day of pampering. They used all Yonka products for my facial and I liked them so I ended up buying many of them and really did consider them excellent skincare. I especially remember their Eye products. It's strange as I still remember the draw I kept them all in and I haven't lived in that house since about 6 to 7 months after acquiring the products.

I didn't continue using them as they weren't that easy to find at the time and I had some other skincare I wanted to test out. Maybe it's a good thing as even as long ago as that was, I remember my bill for all the products I bought was close to $400 and this was back in the mid 90's. It is wonderful skincare, albeit on the pricier side.
