    I am spending a decent amount of time now instead of the 10 mins I used to spend, I shower at night to save time lol.

    Just need to find a blumin sunscreen thats all day and doesn't clog my skin now.
    Got a fab sunhat from tk max blocks uva and uvb that I was wearing today.

    I use sr-skincare post peel lotion as a sunscreen and I don't find it clogs my pores.

    Where can I get Retin A?
    I'm still seeing good results with the mandelic but not using the Vit C or either of the creams that came with the collagen kit.
    The Vit C burned too much and the creams were really thin, didn't think they were doing much, so gone back nip+fab night repair with retinol and my reg moisturisers which have all the usual suspects, Hyularonic etc, seeing much better results.
    The Mandelic seems to bleach my skin whiter, am really pale anyway but noticed it mostly on my hands, very white.

    Can you girls recommend a vit c serum. I need to add that to my routine I think.

    Theres a recipe for one waaay back in the thread or balance active do one you add the vit c in powdered form to so it doesn't deteriorate so quick its called vit c elixir serum and you can get it from amazon or tk max for less than a fiver. Don't forget that it doesn't work for everyone. a
  • I'm going to be starting another 6 weeks course of peel. However, in the meantime I've noticed my skin has started going back to the way it was before I started the last peel routine. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Yes, it's the ongoing march of ageing! My scowl lines come back and my skin texture deteriorates a while after I stop peels. I tend to do peels in the winter months and then stop over summer and repair the damage when the sun disappears.

    Boots No7 used to do a Glycolic peel. Anyone know if they still do it? I cant find it on the website.

    I much prefer a glycolic peel.

    I used to like this one too. Haven't used or seen it in a long time. Was reasonably priced too.
    If you change nothing, nothing will change!!
  • Thanks ali. It's the texture of my skin that has returned. Can't wait to start my new peel. Bought the mandelic/salicylic this time.
