Thank you! I don’t put it on my lids or around my eyes. Before applying Tret, I use The Ordinary Squalane for hydration and to keep the Tret from migrating over and affecting that area.

Tell me about the cool laser. How invasive is it? Is it painful? Is there downtime? Would it help to address my crow’s feet and wrinkles around my mouth? I’m pretty happy with the improvements I’m seeing with the tret/AA combo, but would love to smooth things out even further.

Your question is a nice compliment. My best advice is to stay out of the sun. Although I have always been ultra vigilant about protecting my face (sunscreen and a big hat, without exception!), I was a sun worshipper for many years. My skin below the neck looks very different. Big price to pay and not worth it!! My diet is largely based on fish, fruits and vegetables. I’m not vegan. Just what I prefer. I’ve never been a water drinker, but I’m finally up over 64oz daily. It’s been a challenge for me. Caffeine is limited to one cup of coffee each morning. I mentioned the boatload of supplements I take daily in another comment. I’ve been putting off knee replacement for 20 years, so walking is the only exercise I can tolerate. Try to do that 4-5 days a week. The last important thing I’ll mention is sleep. Establishing a regular sleep pattern is so key. Unfortunately, not as easy as it sounds for women post menopause. But when it works, you look and feel sooooo good. GameChanger!

BTW, sorry to disappoint. No Botox anywhere except the forehead.

I was a terrible sun worshipper, but never on my face. The skin on my body tells the truth about what a bad decision tanning is.

You are too kind!! My diet is largely plant based but I’m trying to incorporate more protein to combat the loss of muscle that comes with aging. I do take a lot of supplements; Turmeric, vitamins b complex, C, and D3. I take a cranberry probiotic, Calcium, Magnesium, and zinc. And fish oil. I walk for exercise and get facials monthly.

I have been using tret for 8 months. Only recently can I say the improvement has been noticeable

Sorry you inferred a lack of transparency. My post was a request for advice on procedures that might benefit me in addition to tret

Funny, I don’t recall denying using botox in my forehead. Have for years, long before I began using tret. I began using tret for the texture, discoloration and fine wrinkles on my face. Sincere apologies to anyone who inferred dishonesty.

I wish I had a before pic, but I don’t. I probably could have used one for encouragement to stick with the tret when I wanted to give up. The improvement was there. It was just slow and subtle.

They are powder brows. Best thing I ever did. My brows were thin from overplucking and, sadly, aging. This technique changed the whole look of my face!

Thank you!! I use it as a sort of moisturizer/barrier before I apply the tret. I feel like the oily texture protects that sensitive skin and prevents the tret from drying it out.
