When I finish Obagi Nu Derm, im going to use retin A every second night. I'll use a vitamin C serum in the morning for extra sun protection. I am looking to add one more product at night, on my "off nights" from Retin A.

I feel like I should use something that is not too harsh, since Retin A can be. My concerns are skin texture, pores, and keeping my skin firm (I am only in my late 20s). Does anyone have any suggestions for a product that works for them?

You may want to check into the ZO Skin Health products. They are an over the counter line by Dr. Obagi. You can go to their website zoskinhealth.com and check out the different products they have. There is also a long thread on the products on the forum here. I use the Growth Factor Serum, exfoliating polish, sunscreen (the best!), and the eye cream. After Nu Derm, I am adding back in the Daily Power Defense.

Don't you 2 feel like the 3 of us are having 3 separate conversations Very Happy

amonavis you might want to check out skinactives.com. They sell ready to use but also all the ingredients (actives) to customize your own skin care products targeting your goals. I have used most of their ready to use and like them.

If anything their resources in the forums are really helpful as to what actives you can use with each other and what certain actives actually do. The forum over there isn't exactly like the forum here not as open shall we say.

We are indeed! Thanks for the tips! I will check out your 2 recommendations. The other product I was interested in is Niacin, like the NIA 24 range. It's kind of pricey though. Actually more than kind of Wink Some people seem to have had good results though!

carolb69 I started the Lets Make Collagen Serum about 6 months ago and I love it. I got a tip to start putting extra under my eyes and it seems to be helping.
