I also have Triluma, and Green Cream (Retinol cream which I love). Daily, I use Skinceuticals SPF 30 sunscreen, Neutrogena dry sunblock spf 70, Shiseido 55 SPF, and Jan Marini Antioxidant SPF 30. I tend to rotate sunscreens. Brand names are more helpful than just listing important ingredients. Thanks!

Post laser treatment skin care products
