I currently use a toner by Simple, which contains witch hazel, chamomile and no alcohol and suits my skin quite well. Thanks for the chicken soup idea - never heard of that one! Though I do eat plenty of tomatoes, which I believe is a powerful antioxidant containing plenty of Vit C. Have you heard of Dermaroller treatment (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or Micro needling)?? It's for the treatment of wrinkles and pitted acne scars etc. I've been doing some research and it sounds like an excellent alternative to the more invasive fraxel laser treatments. Needles, no longer than 1.5mm (longer needles could damage skin) are used to promote collagen growth in the skin naturally. There's virtually no down time and often only 1-3 treatments are sufficient. The collagen formation takes time (3-6 months or so) but continues over time resulting in firmer youthful looking skin. There are plenty of rollers on the market, some longer than the recommended 1.5mm length, but the best thing to do is probably go to a trained physician. I'd personally go with the Genuine dermaroller.

Funny you say to stay away from fruit acids, AHA's etc. I was actually recommended Glycolic Acid serum to rid me of scars by the clinician, and was assured this was OK. I was also told to use SPF 30 every day and I continue to use it now. It's possible that the combination of glycolic serum and light sheer laser resulted in my skin wrinkling ever so slightly in places! Makes sense!!! Thanks for the feedback halfasian09!
