Re: Skin! Skin! and Skin!!!
And this is exactly why you need to start slow and see what your skin can handle without getting worse. Lactic peels it the most gentle out of all the peels and recommended for sensitive skin. Glycolic is next…followed by salicylic (this is for super oily skin). TCA is another one for serious skin issues BUT it requires more downtime, and carries more risks, and you should be experienced with peels before performing one.
Retin A is something that really should be part of everyone routine as long as their skin can handle it. If you do this, please start with .025% cream and go SLOW. Built up your skin’s tolerance. Often people want quick/fast results and that’s not going to happen with skin care. Retin A increases your skin’s cell turnover (basically a super exfoliator). It helps even out skin tone and has been proven to reduce/prevent fine lines/wrinkles.
