In reply to ana t Fiorenzi. Ana, I'm not a big fan because they contain essential oils that can irritate skin.

Hi Gio!. I have been using the ordinary line, and it is amazing, but I have some of the peeling bottles from Dr. Gross (resurfacing). What is your opinion about these acids? They are supposed to be used once a week.

In reply to Steph. Steph, yes it is a mixed of acids and the strongest exfoliating formulas from biologie recherché. Unfortunately, a lot of products skincare fanatics rave about are really harsh. They work wonders for people who have built tolerance to these acids during the years by increase dosage slowly. But for everyone else, they're a recipe for disaster!

I started using p50 early this year. What are your thoughts ? I liked it to start with but now don’t see much more improvement and skin seems to have gone backwards. I was using REN one before which I think is lactic (although I do t have sensitive skin at all) and loved that but people rave about p50 so much. Is that a mix of acids? TIA X

Stacey, I understand you want to fix your skin quickly but taking it slow gives you better results. 🙂 Try this skincare routine for a while and see what happens: https://www.beautifulwithbrains.com/regimen-remove-sun-spots/

I make a 20% lactic acid serum that I used each night and would do a 50% lactic acid peel once every other week. I noticed my forehead was never looking quite moisturized and it looked crepey. I stopped using the lactic acid and just stuck with cleansing and moisturising until my became less dry, which at that point I started using vitamin c in the morning and retinol 0.3% at night. The retinol was causing my skin to become too dry, so I stopped using that and now I only use the vitamin c with good results. I still use the 50% lactic acid once every two weeks. My skin is damaged from not wearing sun screen for the past 45 years and intermittent tanning at a salon. I’m looking to even out my complexion, reduce redness, get rid of this forehead creepiness, and make my skin more supple and moisturized. Is that too much to ask for at my age ?. Any suggestions on regimen?
