Imagine buying and going for this insane routine when u can just do low level red light therapy for the long run benefits

 

[Deleted member 28394]

I don't know what any of this means.

Already been doing it for longer just thought about rearranging the routine itself

Don't project your lack of discipline onto others

There is better alternatives that s what i am saying

 

[Orc]

looks good, but did you account for pH variability with mixing acids?

 

[Deleted member 31155]

how much was the total cost of that?

My username is in the title so repped

Couldn't risk interaction with matrixyl in the AM, haven't thought of a better organization but it's working for now, any advice?

 

[JohnDoe]

Unnecessary

 

[Orc]

these kind of serums come in large flasks and last forever, it's probably not particularly expensive, it's just annoying to keep track of stock and locate sources, but once you've found them you're usually set for a while.

it just seems a little harsh to be using 4 acids daily. does your skin get red even a little bit after applying any of this?

is there a particular reason op didnt stick to the basic tretinoin, hyaluronic acid and moisturizer thing?

 

[Deleted member 21863]

why not just up the tret concentration

 

[Orc]

probably because he's not struggling with acne, most of these compounds are for collagen, elasticity and tone.

vitamin c and e for example ensure an even tone when you're exposed to sunlight and brighten up your skin.

Surprisingly not. I had some slight irritation when applying during the first day but my skin is taking it well now

well im glad it works. the amount of actives you use would make most people flare up

 

[Thesoloist22]

Thoughts?

I think mixing the serum with lactic acid close to the 1% copper peptides are stunting your progress, your skin doesn’t get time to replenish itself and you’d have it good applying tret and sunscreen in the morning contrary to the evening

 

[Deleted member 29747]

could this much mess up your skin barrier?

 

[Deleted member 27472]

Nice bro, how is alpha arbutin going? Was considering that myself

I’m surprised your skin can handle such a routine

It's good, def recommend

[Brootal]

[bradpittshairline]

I am not expert in skincares so idk.

 

[Max Frauder]

Pointless. Just clean with wet wipes.

 

[User49]

does ur skin actually look good

 

[HOLYFUARK]

Oral niacinamide makes me breakout.
Is there any chance you can explain the purpose of each of these compounds and whether you have acne since ur using tret . Thanks in advance

 

[awesomemc101]

before and after results?
also with all those creams and tretinoin i’m surprised you can step into the sunlight without a sunscreen lol

 

[Krakowski]

Lol @ putting 636363 different creams on your face
