Skincare - next steps after Tret? Vitamin C?

[ecology1989]

Morning all,

I'm after some advice on the next skincare steps. I've been using Tret from Dermatica since November last year and I am finally through the monthly peelings stage and happy with my prescription (Tret 0.05% and Niacinamide 4%). I'm happy with the Ordinary Squalene Cleanser (am and pm) and use the La roche posay SPF 50 liquid. I've been using The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factor during the day and happy with my Clarins Facial Oil on a night. But I'm looking to add in a more specific serum (with Vit C) or Hyaluronic acid (or alternate). I've been using up the various serums and creams that came with the JL Advent Calendar but I'd now like to commit to / try something new.

I'm 34, Dermatica has cleared up any hormonal spots. I end up looking pretty dull in winter though.

For the right product I'd be willing to pay up to £90 (I was looking at Dermalogicas biolumin-c vitamin c serum) but equally happy to spend much less!

Vitamin C does not need to be expensive at all. There's obviously the Skinceuticals one which holds a partent bit Geek and Gorgeous C glow is almost identical (I personally prefer it to Skinceuticals). Make sure to buy it from their UK site otherwise the postage is more expensive than the product.

Thanks @botemp - just checked the UK website and this looks like a great option to try :)
