A B C...Easy as 1 2 3!

Well, I haven't added a B yet, but I did add in C!

So after one week of Retriderm use my skin is not flaking or falling off.  It's not doing anything really.  I had one little visitor pop up, but nothing major.  My skin is looking pretty good, but I don't feel like I have that rosy glow that I've seen coworkers get when they start using the product.  So I'm wondering if I need to step up in strength, but instead of doing that I decided to add in a new product and keep using the 0.5% for now.

The new addition to my regimen is Ascorderm XCP to see what it does for my acne scarring.  I just used it for the first time last night.  As expected with any L-Ascorbic Acid I was feeling a little tacky after application.  We tell people to apply a moisturizer over it but I didn't because I already had the Retriderm and Ascorderm serums on and I didn't feel like another step.  It was fine because I was just going to bed, but I can see how people might not want to put this on in the AM.

So my new regimen is:
AM - AFA Cream Cleanser
Endocare serum (same SCA technology as Tensage but a product we don't have)
The Eyes Have It! (PRESCRIBEDsolutions)
Lasting Results SPF 30 (PRESCRIBEDsolutions)

PM - AFA Cream Cleanser
Retriderm vitamin A serum
Ascorderm XCP

I can't believe how different my regimen is now from when I first started this blog.  And I know if I were reading this I would be thinking "yea, right, I bet your skin just happened to change right when you started this blog so you'd have an excuse to talk about more products." Call it fate, karma, whatever, but my skin really did just happen to change and need a new regimen as unbelievable as it may seem.

Oh one thing that I did want to share about my Retriderm use is that I took a complete skin care break on Saturday (not really intentionally, my daughter is teething and was up a lot on Friday night and I just didn't feel like dealing with my skin and her teeth that day).  On Sunday night I felt like my cheeks were feeling a little rough.  After I put on the Retriderm serum they did feel a lot smoother.  I don't know what that is exactly, I just know that it felt nice!

The only other change I intend to make this week for my skin (and my health in general) is to start drinking more water!  I craved water when I was pregnant, I couldn't drink enough.  And then when I had my daughter it just stopped.  I've been really focused on eating better this year, but that is one area that I have definitely been slacking.  So for my skin and my diet and my body, H2O!!
