Serum Recs

Post by MizzSunny » Mon Mar 18, 2013 10:52 am

Hello! I'm 34 and have combo/dry skin that has been mostly on the dry side this winter. I've been sampling PC Resist Retinol serum, but I've heard good things about Silk Naturals. I do have suffer from hyper-pigmentation, blackheads on my nose, occasional breakouts (mostly of the cystic variety) and have some mild acne scars I would like to lighten on my cheeks. Plus I'm looking for anti-aging benefits. This is my current routine.

AM:
1. Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Cleansing Wash
2. Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel
3. Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Tone Correcting SPF 30 or Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15

PM:
1. Alpha Hydrox Foaming Face Wash (is a little drying, may switch to something else)
2. PC BHA 2% liquid or PC Clear Exfoliant
3. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream - Night or
4. PC Resist Retinol serum and Cerave PM

I'm pretty new to advanced skincare and want to make sure nothing I use will cause a negative reaction or anything. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA!

There are a few things there that might react with Super Serum. Other than that, you might consider Facelift Serum, or Awesome Sauce.

Thank you! Does it matter which I use in the AM or PM? How long do I have to wait before I apply my SS or moisturizer?

They will work am or pm. Wait just long enough for it to soak in.
