Hi I am 40 with fine lines and crows feet, with slightly sensitive skin. I use ss daily and tretinion for 1 year,I also use olive oil 30 minutes after tretinion at night.
I also just started DIY vitamin c in am,
should I add AHA and copper peptides?
If so what order should I do everything?
I want to have a very effective antiaging regimen.
Also should I use a eye cream in addition?
Thanks |

You have already been doing the top 2 things for anti aging. Antioxidants would be next. I would start with just the Vit C.
You don't want to use Vit C and copper peptides at the same time as they cancel each other. I think the same applies to AHA and retin-a if I remember correctly. You could use at different times of the day though.
IMO eye creams are not really needed. |

| You could add something like DermaWand for skin tone and firming, Clarisonic for deep cleaning, and at-home microdermabrasion machine like NuBrilliance to help with the wrinkles and your skin care products will work better. |

| If you do choose to add in all those extra steps, make sure you take it slowly. Start by adding one product first and then make your way to the other products. |

Be sure to use sunscreen over your DIY Vitamin C in the am.
For night-time, Retin-A is amazing so stick with it! The longer you continue to use it, the better results it will garner.
A good eye serum that delivers results and smooths out lines, puffiness, and dark circles is Marie Veronique Eye Serum (its all natural btw).  |

Indeed, if you're going with the Vit C route, make sure you use sunscreen on top of it or you won't get the full benefits of the serum.
Retin-A can also make you very photosensitive so be sure you have a really good sunscrene you can rely on |

Isilva7,
Try a physical sunscreen such as BurnOut Clean and Clear or NIA 24 -- these are two of my favorites. |

| If you have sensitive skin, it is better not to AHAs, Retin A AND Vit C IMHO. Retin A can make your skin very sensitive to other products. Besides, CP is considered to be a very powerful antioxidant, so there is no need to use both Vit C and CP. |
