Currently my regime is this:
AM
Ren Facial Wash
TR Youth Serum (used to use C serum but this has Vit C as well as lots of other skin goodies so hoping it will be more effective).
declor ylang ylang oil for t-zone sometimes.
TR Eye Cream
Clarins SPF 15 for eyes
Avene 50+ SPF Sun block
PM
Cleanse with Dr Hauschka cleansing cream or Ren Facial Wash
Exfoliate with Epidermx II
Dr P Super Copper Serum
Wait 20 mins
Retin A
Followed by silka Camilla Oil although not everynight as I like to let the Retin do it's own thing sometimes, feels to me when my skin peels things are getting better faster.
My Skin is quite tough as long a I don't use soap. BP or clinique toners 
I am also doing the odd mask one or twice a week e.g: Dr Hauschka rejuvenating mask or a clay mask. I have a cheapo photon therapy skin device also but I haven't used it much yet.
This regime is sort of new in its current state. It is hard to say really. My skin seems a lot less conjested, less acne (I have also been on tetralysal 300 nearly two years!) I am still unhappy with the texture, however I think I am in a remodeling stage the uglies as it is known here at the moment so rough texture that used to be sitting under a layer of dead skin is now being revealed. Whether or not this can be improved upon remains to be seen. I am hoping it can be.
Anyway my Questions are:
1. I had been doing some TCA peels to get rid of fine lines, open pores, pigmentation, scars and poor texture and was contemplating another one (tempted to try the dermaroller and peel mentioned in another post). However during the week or so after a TCA peel I am unable to use the retin a as I am waiting for the crusty skin to peel off and I am thinking perhaps it would be good idea to give the retin A a good long consistant run at my skin every night say for about 8 weeks?
2. You can see from my regime that in the AM I use the TR Youth serum followed by sunscreen with no moisturiser. Should I include some kind of daily moisturiser? It feels that using yet another product might be to much under a heavy sunscreen. I could perhaps switch in the winter to a Moisturiser with a SPF 30 but I am concerned about how it would affect my serum. I should say also that although I wonder about this my skin doesn't really feel dry.
3. I use three products under my eye area, all very sparingly but is this too much? This is one of my real trouble spots : syringoma (bumps), dark circles and fine lines 
4. My skin tone isn't great. I have lots of red marks from old spots and picking at skin after a peel (Never do this!) I am also very pale but with sallow tones. Do you think that sticking with the retin A and copper serum over say the next 8 weeks will address these patches of dicoloration and brighten my skin or should I bring start to use another product to treat this?
Okay sorry for that long post. Just need to get this sorted in my own head as well. I also really need to sort out things like getting enough sleep, supplements, diet and water etc as I think treating yourself holistically yeilds much better results.
Anyway thanks for readingand if anyone has any thoughts on these questions then pls let me know!
