I like to use peels. This product encourages my skin to be more reactive (in a good way) to the peel. I get a quicker result, and I get a lot more skin peeling off. Refine Plus is quite the potent product. One MUST be aware of this potency. I only use it a couple of times during the week before I am going to apply my peel. Use it once, give it a couple days to see how your skin is reacting and then adjust from there. Don’t go overboard. When used correctly and carefully, this is a great product.
Cosmedix makes some amazing retinol products. This product is the strongest of the retail retinol products they offer and should only be used by people who have worked their way up to it. Otherwise, it may cause quite a bit of irritation.
