Know your routine and how it helps your skin 👉 . 🔍Retinol is a Vitamin A analogue. This skincare active can reduce acne, blackheads, whiteheads, treat unwanted pigmentation & reduce photoaging . Brands include Aspect Doctor available at @theformulated. Discuss with your dermatologist if prescription retinoids are suitable for your skin type . 🔍AHAs include lactic acid, glycolic acid & citric acid. Drunk elephant makes a super potent mixture of skin acids with their baby facial line. Other recommendations include Neostrata , The Ordinary & The Inkey List. AHAs can improve #blackheads, fine lines & wrinkles as well as improve skin pigmentation. AHAs, like retinoids can make you more sun sensitive . 🍊Vitamin C or ascorbic acid forms part of the ABCs of skin care. C is an #antioxidant, protecting your skin from free radicals. ‘C’ can also build collagen & reduce pigmentation. Caution in patients with sensitive skin- rosacea I suggest starting at a lower concentration such as 10% & increasing SLOWLY as tolerated to 15, then 20%. Formulations will vary depending on the brand. C can be combined with E & Ferulic Acid to form CE Ferulic Acid, a potent antioxidant combination! @skinceuticals have a CE Ferulic available online and in store at @theformulated 🔥 . 💬 What combinations of skin care do you love using? • 😎Davin Lim Brisbane/Meanjin🇦🇺 @theformulated @cutis_dermatology . #skincaretips #skincarecommunity #skincarebasics #dermatologistbrisbane #brisbanedermatologist #bestskincare #simpleskincaretips #skinacids #Skincare #dermatologist #acne
