^ You’re welcome!

As long as your skin can handle it and you’re diligent about staying out of the sun as much as possible and using sunscreen, there’s nothing wrong with using RA or the glycolic cream. They won’t hurt you as long as you know what you’re doing.

Start doing the 40% lactic peels since your immediate concern is to even out tone/brighten complextion. Do this 2x (1x/week). If your skin can handle this without excessive dryness, then get the 12% soufflee. Use that in between the peels at night…maybe 2-3x/week. On the “off” nights…use oil to moisturize. Pay attention to your skin. If its too dry or flaky or irritated…then cut back on the days that cream is used. You’ll just need to play around that that cream to see how much your skin can tolerate it (along with 1x/week LA peel).

After 2-3 months…when your skin is used to these 2 items…then you can start looking into Retin A (by then you should definately see a difference in your skin tone/complextion). But don’t introduce multiple products at once. Allow the skin to get used to one thing before adding on another.

Thanks a lot! You explained everything very clearly. Stay blessed
