Well, that didn't last...

I went back to Micro Retin-A, 0.1% only I did it on 1/2 of my face and MaMa lotion on the other 1/2. I didn't notice any appreciable differences in texture or clarity (both sides still breaking out) but the Retin-A side was peeling. Not a good idea to do during the summer.

So, I decided to stick withVit C as a go-to lotion as it doesn't cause any negative effects...AND...back to BP for the acne. I haven't used BP in years. I gave it up b/c I didn't think it was helping much (plus the sun sensitivity that lead to skin discoloration and the bleaching that led to pillowcase discoloration wasn't fun).

I'm starting to think that skin reacts like hair to some treatment products; after awhile, they lose their effectiveness.

Time to change it up.

I'm happy with SolBar's and Kinerase's sunscreens but I'm going to try Mario Badescu. I have NOT been applying SPF to my face everyday but I *should*.
