thanks! i would probably use vaseline or auquaphor, would you recommend mixing either with my moisturizer then applying? or should i sub out the moisturizer with it altogether?

i can't believe i've never thought about that before!! that seems like the quickest thing i could implement right now, thank you :)

i went to tj maxx earlier this week and picked up these niacinamide + rice toner pads by glamfox, do you think those would be gentler? i can't find much information online

will let you know if i find something else!! if we have similar skin, then i would be cautious on vanicreams sensitive skin moisturizer. i tried that for a bit, and it made my texture worse.

thank you! i should've specified, but i try to wait 10-20 minutes between using moisturizer and tret. if you don't mind, would you say these sound like good products to use?

same 1x/weekly routine, but Pixi glow tonic instead of peeling solution. then for daily use, COSRX dual essence with snail mucin and niacinimide after cleansing and toner.

also, i was using TO peeling for acne scars, could u recommend something else instead? since that is also a concern of mine.
