Re: My new favorite moisturizer : ))))))))))

That's exactly right Sashy. I don't use a name brand glycolic acid or Retin A. I just use generic ones from the drugstore. There's different strengths, and I use the strongest ones that are available over the counter, but if your skin is really sensitive you'd probably want to start with the mildest one first.

Regards
