26 to 30. Recovered alcoholic, quit smoking a pack a day, developed the skincare routine that makes me glow, and blasted my forehead with Botox ;’)

Products that will improve your skin even more in the longer term are vitamin c, sunscreen, glycolic acid, and retinol particularly tretinoin.
This will take the dry top layer of skin off and show the next layer of skin cells, that are plumped up with hydration.

Infrequent use of TO Glycolic Acid and very limited occasional use of their AHA BHA Peeling Solution.
I usually am on top of my skincare regimen for a few days, then fall off for a few days, then get back to it, repeat.

I have been using Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum I got it as a gift from my mom.

Swapping out Epstein products

Their glycolic acid is a holy grail product for me.
Not The Ordinary!!
I'm looking to make swaps as I run out of products
Inkey, Good Molecules, and Naturium all have glycolic acid products
Anyone know (affordable) swaps for The Ordinary? Specifically the glycolic acid?

I’m 48. And that’s ok. Trying to be thankful for the years and not worry about “aging”.

I’ve also had the glycolic acid and a Clarisonic or Foreo.
I hope to reintroduce glycolic acid a couple of times a week bc it seems to really keep my nose and chin clear of clogged pores and sebaceous filaments.
Again, this has run the gamut from the buf puf, a washcloth, glycolic acid and a Clarisonic or Foreo.

adding a retinoid was very irritating.
