| I really don't blame you for being so frustrated, but this is totally your doctor's fault. Most docs recommend initially using these type products every other night or every third night and also waiting at least 30 minutes after you cleanse your face to apply it. As you have found out, you can be in great discomfort if it is not applied correctly. It is a shame so many doctors are not more careful in their instructions and so many patients get scared off of a great product. |

I think we all feel a bit like that. I have a few red marks on my face from over zealous use of a dermabrasion sponge. Guapa nearly burnt her face off with glycolic acid. I guess we are all a bit desperate to turn back time. Good luck in your quest. |

We all have been there at one point or another Lassie1234. Good for you giving your skin a rest for awhile |

| well, ladies (and some gentlemen) lassie1234 is my best friend. her posts are hilarious! she is even funnier in person! she is the one that got me started using estee lauder among other things. i was with her through the renova nightmare and it was baaaad! i guess we have all been there trying to "scrape, burn and peel" away our problem areas! i once tried a battery powered scrubber in the 70's that resembled a small scuzzbuster! it promised to deep clean those pores and i think i ended up with scabs. it sure is fun trying to find our own "miracle" product! ahh the thrill of the hunt! |

| Im starting to wonder with some dermotologists...I went to one when i was like 17..my problem was redness, and what did he do? He looked at my skin, saw one zit..and diagnosed it as acne...yup. Gave me a bunch of drying cleansers and let me say im better off trusting my own judgements. Glad you got off the renova..never should use something more then once if it blows the face up!:P |

Yep as I said it has taken me this long , and I am using Decleor and I have only been using it now for 2 weeks (almost) and the difference is just unbeleivable (that looks awful long ) anyway as I was saying  my skin has improved beyond my expectations, took me 30 years , been doing skin care since I was 15 and though I was never ever going to not ever have a pimple my whole life  |

Lassie, you may want to try some copper peptide serum from skin biology (diana yvonne and pure deming sell it too). It should help with the healing process. Emu iol is very good for calming skin down as well.
Here's a hug anyway ((((( ) |

I tried the MD Forte range hoping that glycolics were the answer to getting rid of some of the pesky lines. I only tried the level I including the Rejuvenating Eye Cream w/ Retinol and to cut a long story short I ended up with MORE lines around my eyes than I started with  and my general skin condition went way down hill  Needless to say it all went in the bin and I'll never go near a glycolic product again.
Luckily I have hit on my perfect skin care range (ADCE and associated products) and I can't see me every switching to something else |

I have tried so many lines and so many products as well.....hoping to find ny holy grail. Something that won't dry out my any more, but will still moisturize and hydrate. Something that would clear up those first fine lines and prevent future ones. Something that will brighten and even my complexion, and provide protection from future sun damage. It has been a long and expensive search....and I am just happy that I didn't have the terrible, painful experiences some of you have had. But I must say I have FINALLY found what I have been searching for....Alphaderma CE, JB Mineral Skin Prep, Okusil, JB Organic Cleansing Cream, and Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant. This is my FOREVER skin line!!!! I am loving it, and it is doing all it says and quickly.
Good luck in your search!

The Copper Peptide serum is magical for healing skin.
I've been doing a ritual of Dr Hauschka Rejuv Mask/Rhythmic Ampules/EpidermX scrub & Copper Peptide serum and my skin is getting back to it's old self. |

I also use the CP serum after using a glycolic peel product. It does seem to heal any redness quickly.
My MD prescribed Tazorac. It works the same but has less side effects. I use it most nights and haven't had any redness or bad reaction. That said my skin is not so sensitive. I use Cellex-C and skinceuticals 20 without a problem others here find these drying. |
