I'll be going on vacation next week. I don't want to be flaky on my trip. Do I need to stop using my retin-a micro gel now to give the flakes time to subside? Can I wait and stop the night before my trip?
When I return will I have to go back to every other night or just play it by ear, i.e. if I use it every night as I do now, see if there is redness and cut back to every other night?
The less junk I have to pack the better. I use this in conjunction with my skinbiology.com copper peptides serum. If I could leave both at home, I would be happy. Hate to mess up the routine if it makes things worse later. |

| I would stop Retin-A four days in advance as that is what I read is enough time to stop flaking (and also what works for me). Resume same routine when you return. Don't know about the copper peptides |

| Sounds good. I found out I can skip my copper peptides for a week, too. Thanks! |
