I recently purchased some cleanser and toner from one of my favorite skin care lines - Mario Badescu - and I wanted to find out from you what you thought about the best way to maxmize the use of these products. The reason I ask is because I've been struggling with some breakouts on my combination skin. in the meantime, while I was waiting to get them in the mail, I ran out and bought some Neutrogena Deep Clean - a cleanser and some Anti-Wrinkle, Anti Blemish "Clear Skin Cream" - a moisturizer.
The rationale is that the Neutrogena always clears my breakouts (the cleanser) and idea behind the cream is to use something that will help me stav them off all day. But I have dark spots to consider and since you said the Glycolic Acid helped you with this my curiousity was peaked.
Now I know you're no doctor but I can't afford one right now so you're my best bet! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Would it be ok, do you think to use the Neutrogena Cleanser in the AM (it has salicylic acid in it) with the Glycolic Toner and Moisturizer (which had the Salicylic Acid and some Retinol) ANd then the same routine in the Pm but with the Glycolic Cleanser instead? I just worry about the mix of so many ingredients all working together....? But it sounds like this combo is what gets people results - I think Allandra used something with Retinol in it....
Just let me know what you think...and tell me some more about the benefits of Glycolic - and if you noticed and immediate side effects I should be aware of.
TIA! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
