Best Post-op Skincare Products for Maintaining Laser Resurfacing Results?

There are so many skincare products available, and it's hard to know what to chose. I'm looking to maintain the great results from my Fractional ablative CO2 resurfacing, and was given a list of product suggestions from my MD. I wanted to know if other doctors have recommendations for products that they feel are effective and necessary for their patients. The products I'm using right now are Jan Marini C-esta (and I'm not that impressed), Jan Marini Transformation Cream, and JM Bioclear. 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!
