hi! I'm totally new, but have been reading the forums for awhile. Everyone seems to have great information, and I am hoping to get some input.

I had been using Vivite for awhile, and had great results. My skin glowed! However, from a cost perspective I cannot keep it up (I had a friend who worked for Allergan and got it her cost for me).

I started Retin A (microsphere .004%) last month and it has done ok. My skin is smoother, pores smaller and oil/dryness more regulated. However, my sunspots are not getting smaller anymore.

Since I cannot afford Vivite anymore, I was hoping for some lest costly suggestions. I mostly want to keep my skin smooth, and get rid of the sunspots. I don't really have lines yet (oily skin has it's pluses!). I have really fair skin so even the smallest spot stand out. I really liked how much my skin "glowed".

Any suggestions on other products to try?

tanyasusie, did you use the entire line of Vivite or a particular product from the line? Not sure if MD Forte is any cheaper, but they are made by the same people.

I used the scrub and the night cream the most. They seemed to make the biggest difference. I have not tried the MD Forte line-I will look into and see if it is cheaper. Thanks!
