My skin is almost to the point where I'd like to incorporate retinol again.
A couple of questions for those with experience here...
~Dr. Baumann likes Topix Replenix Retinol, but the one I've used is Skinceuticals...I think the Topix base is smoother...would the Topix be as effective? Looking at .5% or 5X.
~What would be a good product to use on the off nights to strengthen, maintain the moisture barrier? I've looked at NIA 24 or Topix Replenix Cream (also comes as a CF Cream?), but don't know if those are worth the extra $
I don't want to stress my skin and hope that by not using BHA and AHA my skin will allow me to continue using the retinol. I do use a C serum and sunscreen in the AM.
I have combo, mostly resistant/sometimes slightly sensitive, pigmented, tight skin (but treating as wrinkled 'cuz the signs are there at 47!)
