The Elusive Glow

Really after getting a bit more of a 'glow' in my skin.
I already use tret and a peptide face oil.
Any recommendations for a product (not make up, as I don't use it)?
Thanks.

Are you possibly getting a buildup of dead skin cells from the tret?

How do you cleanse your face?

Piggles1979 · 04/06/2025 10:22

@poetryandwine I don't think so. I double cleanse every evening.
I think it's probably just to do with being 46 😂

Similar age to you - I love CEO glow.

utan face spray. Little spritz after makeup gives a light tan and a lovely glow.

I think I was getting such a build up. Weekly, on one ot two of my nights off retinoid, I use a mild glycolic acid serum. I use it over, not under, moisturiser, in order to make it even milder.

Nothing on top.

I am older than you and this has made a big difference.

PS You need to be super cautious using any acids with tret! I started this by leaving the glycolic on for just a few minutes, worked slowly up to a couple of hours, before leaving it overnight. And the Cetaphil moisturiser under it is a pretty good barrier

White truffle spray by d’alba gives a lovely glow.
