Dull, Dry Skin with Melasma Showing Vast Improvement

Thank you! It's a work in progress. The Retin A at night and the Vitamin C serum in the morning is definitely making a difference. : ))

Which vitamin C serum do you use?

I use Shunly CE + Ferulic treatment. It can be purchased online at Costco.

Thank you! I have some issues that are hard to see in pictures but I think my skin is looking better than it did a couple of years ago.

The vitamin C and E serum brightens my skin and makes it look more polished to me. I feel like it's equally as important as the Retin A. I use it in the a.m. before putting on my sunscreen.

thanks for the tip :) I'll definitely give it a try.

What's the product you use? I use a C serum but it's a bit oily so it's not that good under makeup..

I use Shunly CE + Ferulic Acid. It's slightly tacky when it goes on. I wait until it's completely dry before putting on my sunscreen.

I use .05% cream. The gel is too drying for my skin

It's been a year since I started taking care of my skin. I started with a retinol but switched to the Retin A to get better results. Yes, I peeled quite a bit and my skin had a period of time when it looked bad - very flaky and crinkly

Thanks!

Thank you!!

Retin A is only available here with a prescription also. My doctor gave me one because I still have break outs even at my age. I use tretinoin cream, .05%

I buy mine from Beauty's ish.com and the brand is called "The Ordinary" and I get 30ml for $7 I think... They have different strengths too. The site is very informative and helps you decide what to buy. They also sell a product called The Buffet and I love it. It's a combination of several things all for wrinkles, better elasticity and acne. Hope this helps some of you. After I tried it my 74 year old mom has been using it as well as my 14 year old daughter (the retinol that is) so it helps all age ranges. We also buy their moisturizer and it is the same price. About $7. No need to spend a fortune on retinol or any other skin care products for that matter. The site also carries name brand makeup as well. It cosmetics is one of my favs but it's a bit pricey.

Thank you! I use Shunly CE +Ferulic Acid in the morning, followed by sunscreen. In the evening I use .05% Retin A cream. Sometimes after the Retin A, I'll put on a moisturizer. My favorite is Dermacare Enriched Night Cream.

I use the Retin A and the Vitamin C serum pretty much every day.

Thanks!! Yes, I'm Italian : )
