Hi There,

First of all thank you to all the members on this site - I am a regular lurker here and on MUA and remodelled my skincare regime which was included buying all sorts of products mostly high end and not really seeing results.

I am 39, from Dublin Ireland (in case climate plays a part), comination skin, sometimes quite dull, largish pores and few blemishes, very fine lines around the eyes and two forehead lines.

I have upped my skincare regime to include cosmedix - clarity and refine (4 % retinol)but have 8 % ready to go soon. Copper Peptide and lacsal cream from Skinbiology. MD forte eye cream (retinol) and TNS eye plus Jan Marini transformation serum. I use the clarisonic twice daily too.

My skin is looking better than ever but I had wanted to include a c serum and was researching skinceuticals c e ferulic when I came across the cosmetic skin solutions site (MUA/EDS forums) and promptly purchased. I had just wanted the C E ferulic but thought buying the samples might be a good way to try everything - they have b5 and phloretin.

However I'm a bit overwhelmed now and wonder how to use all of these products to get the maximum benefit. I am happy to change around my regime to try out whatever you suggest.

At the moment I am doing the following:

AM

Clarisonic
Cosmedix clarity serum
Transformation Serum Jan Marini

PM

Alternate Days:

Clarisonic
Cosmedix refine 4 %
MD forte (eyes)

or

Clarisonic
LacSal (Skin Biology)
Skin signals cream (Skin Biology)
Jojoba oil
TNS (eye)

Thanks so much for your time and knowledge and experience. Also if there is something glaringly missing from my list I would be happy to hear about it.

PS I will report on the C serum once I have incorporated it into my regime

You add the Vitamin C in the morning right after cleansing. It should be the first product you use then you can continue with the other products. You might want to wait about ten minutes after applyiong the C to add other products.

You have to avoid the C serum with CP's (12 hours between), without knowing the ingredients of Cosmedix clarity serum and Transformation Serum Jan Marini I am not certain if you can layer the Vit. C serum, if there aren't any ingredients that would conflict with the C serum I would suggest using it in the am when you use these.

Yes, Vit C first thing after cleansing and give it time to settle before putting anything else on. I actually use the SSC and LacSal myself but use the LacSal in the AM about 20-30 minutes after applying VitC.
