Acid peels every now and then to turnover bad skin

Not through the same mechanism, you can’t use both at the same time but acid peels are much more aggressive whereas retin a is more for long term use

sounds like too much effort for little benefit tbh

I mean as long as you eat healthy you shouldn't need more than that.

The essentials are definitely sunscreen, cleanser, mositurizer and Tretnoin


Accessories that do work but aren't necessary are BHAs and AHA(like glycolic acid which improves collagen and acne scars), niacinamide (B3) and vitamin C serums also stimulate collagen growth and improve your skin overall


Things like toners, masks, miscellar water, exfoliants, pH adjusting sprays, masks etc are either for people that wear makeup or rich soccer moms that have a lot of money to throw around on useless dog shit. They usually show short term improvement like more radiant skin, but long term it's just a waste of money and it does nothing for systemic improvement of your tissue infrastructure integrity

Nah, I ate absolutely healthy and never ever cheated for the last 2 years and exactly in that period I got the worst skin of my life. Sebum production shot through the roof, also I got white pustules every single day making me look super bad and unhealthy.
