I'm 33 years old and have been using an 8% glycolic acid exfoliating day cream and Retin-A at night to improve slight acne scarring from my teens. My skin is flaky, sensitive and dehydrated. When I smile I have fine lines on my entire face. Is the long term use of these two products together not too harsh for my skin? Or should I be using a product with hyaluronic acid, plus something with anti aging benefits? I need moisture! What products can I use?
