I was so upset to learn I have to take a long break from RA. I am getting large amounts of broken capillaries and flushing non stop and my derm said time to stop for a while 
After I stopped crying I went online and searched for the next best thing and decided to try glycolic acid - apparently proven to also help slow down aging, although not as good as retin-a.
I just got my order of:
MD Forte Skin Rejuvination Lotion 2 20% GA
MD Forte eye cream 10% Gloycolic with Retinol
Boske Dermaceuticals H/Acid and B3
Revaleskin Night Therpay coffeeberry
I spent a huge amount on the coffeeberry cream and want to know if I use it after the MD Forte lotion or will it make it useless? Do I use The MD Forte in the morning with the Boske b3 and h/Acid and the coffeeberry at night? I've never gone the Glycolic Acid route and aren't sure how it interacts with other products.
Thanks for your help!! |

Sorry, I don't know enough about the products to be of much help, but I would probably advise using some gentler products to give your skin a break. Otherwise, you may end up worsening the broken capilliaries and flushing.
Also, letting your skin take things easy for a while may well meant that you'll find that the RA works better when your dermatologist advises you that it's safe to use again. |

Hi Sunlit - Did your derm recommend these products? If so, give them a call and see how they suggest you use them.
If not, I'd suggest using the glycolics at a different time than the coffeeberry. I've used the Revale coffeeberry cream - it's a nice gentle product and smells great. I use it in the evening. So perhaps use the glycolics in the morning and the coffeeberry in the evening.
Glycolic products can cause irritation, so cut back on their use if you notice any further redness.
I hope they work out for you. |

| Hi sunlit. I used Dr Denese glycolic acid products and it worsened my broken capillaries. I went to a dermatologist who told me the glycolic acid brought them more to the surface (thinned the skin). I recently was using a vitamin C serum and a retinol serum from Shiseido which are great but when I did not use them for a month while on vacation and then very busy and my skin was much less red and paler, looked much better. So long way to say that for me my skin is better with non acid products (I may just try them just several times a week). Please let use know how you like the coffeeberry product, that is what Revaleskin is? I was interested in it. HTH |

| Sorry, I do not know you use products, I think the skin is very bad situation, should do nothing, let the skin relax, rest, give it some time to repair itself |

Can you use Vitamin C? I hearit is good for anti aging... |
