Thank you @Sugipine

this is very helpful!

 

Which vit C do you use, if you don’t mind?


 

 

You're welcome Woman Happy @LTT1. I use my own DIY vit C serum. Been making it myself for many years.

I wish you could make some for me! It seems the fewer ingredients there are in my products, the more likely they are to be tolerated!

Re: Your favorite anti-aging product (moisturizer, serum, etc.) that REALLY gave you results!!

@Sugipine,

 

I use many of the same products and was considering adding the Glycolix Pads.  How do you mix this with your Retin A usage?

 

My AM:

Cleanse

Vit C Serum

Matrixyl Synthe 6

CoQ10

 

PM;

Cleanse

Retin A

 

I'm guessing Glycolic and Retin A shouldn't be mixed.  Not sure if I can add to AM routine or Alt. nights with Retin A and Glycolic.  (I currently use retin a nightly).

 

Thanks for any info available.  I always learn from you!

Thanks @mommaslp. I'm happy to help when I can.Woman Happy

 

I use the Glycolix 20% pads on the nights I'm off the Retin-A, which is every other night, as you suggested. Sometimes I skip a night with one or the other, depending on how my skin feels. I think for the most part, glycolic acid in higher strengths as this 20% should probably be reserved for nighttime use and be avoided using at the same time with other acids like vitamin C. It's just too much acid at one time. Also avoid using glycolic acid before, during and after dermarolling or microdermabrasion if applicable.

Paula's Choice 4% BHA serum.  This was recently released but I was on the test panel a year ago and continued using it beyond the testing window.  I couldn't believe the difference it made in my skin.  Pores are much smaller and it cleared stubborn blackheads in my oily t zone.  I also use the 2% BHA liquid daily but that wasn't quite enough.  I was thrilled when the 4% serum was released.

@KCDiva,

I buy it from pipingrock dot com...item # 4961...just type that in the search box. They make two different collagen creams. The other (12281) may interest you as well for it does not contain some of the ingredients as 4961, however, I believe the one ingredient is why I think it works so well.Woman Wink

Glycolic acid pads and Skinn's ABC peels. I use SSC's glycolic pads or Glycolix that @Sugipine recommended in the 20%. That is the one ingredient that has given me obvious results. 

 

I cannot use RetinA or anything containing retinol.
