Dollie, copper does contribute to your natural skin pigmentation. If this worries you, don’t use it on your dark spots. You can still use it on the rest of your face.

Wouldn’t that counteract the melanin suppressors (hydroquinone, azelaic acid, kojic acid, etc) I’m using to fight “age spots”?

Vivella, glad you enjoy them!

Mem, Q10 fights antioxidants but it won’t have a firming effect. I think it’s just a result of the added hydration as that would definitely make your skin look better.

Your best bet is to look for a body cream with retinol. Paula’s Choice makes a good one but it’s not a natural brand.

Zoe, I prefer to use it every other day, just to be on the safe side. Plus, that allows me to include other actives in my routine, as I don’t like to do too many steps at once.

Maja, if your skin can tolerate it, by all means go ahead. But when I write this blog, I have to be aware that ANYONE can read it. In my experience, people tend to overestimate how resistant their skin. I get so many emails from people who used them together every single day and are now left with dry, irritated skin. If you’re an experienced user, know what you’re doing and your skin can take it, go ahead. But as this blog is read by a lot of beginners, too I’d rather warn them against it lest they make their skin worse.
