GM- I am new to working on my skincare routine- I know you have said this several times but it feels weird so I want to make sure- the sunscreen goes on after the lotion and then you let it set before applying makeup?
Thank you – Your videos are helpful

Hi Angie, appreíate íf you reply my question.

Why do you choose using Cerave pm+spf for AM instead of using Cerave AM? Ís there any effect to Make up ór what?

I alwàys trust your choice, so your reply is very important to me.

  CeraVe AM uses a chemical + mineral sunscreen mix but my skin is sensitive to chemical sunscreens so I use all mineral sunscreen.

I recently (accidentally) bought the 10% + HA 2%…is there a huge difference from the 5% + 2%?
Thanks

    I know how to add and subtract, thanks. The answer I was looking for pertains to skin care and how much the added 5% would affect the “chemistry” of my morning routine.

Hi, Angie! THANK YOU for breaking all this down for us! It’s so overwhelming! Here is my question. Before I started following your recommendations, I noticed I always had a place on my collarbone that was a little itchy from time to time during the day. I am using generic Tretonoin (0.05%) once per week (I backed down from twice weekly) on dry skin (plus all the other serums). That area is now larger (maybe 1” x 1.5”) and a little rashy and red. Will Tretinoin do this on my décolleté area? Since it itched prior to my using it, could it just be bringing to the surface whatever was making it itch? I am using the Cicaplast Baum on it. I stopped using everything for a couple of days to let it calm down. My neck is also itchy, too. I figure my skin has to get worse before it gets better?

  Hi Kim~ I disagree that skin has to get worse before it gets better. Any time skin is itchy, burning, red or just looks worse it’s telling you there’s something wrong. I’d recommend stopping any anti-aging creams on the itchy spot on your collarbone and just use soothing moisturizer there until it stops itching. If it doesn’t stop itching, I’d have it checked out by a dermatologist. Tretinoin can definitely be making the itching and redness worse. I always recommend taking steps to use tretinoin without any irritation which entails using it less frequently, moisturizing before & after application, and waiting for skin to dry completely before applying it. The neck can be especially sensitive and once you have a reaction there it’ll be overly sensitive for a long, long time so it’s best to go slow and avoid all irritation. Best, Angie

Hi Angie,

Thanks so much for the amazing blog and the invaluable advice on the products. I have a question in regards to using peptides in conjunction with the Acids. I recently contacted DECIEM for some product information and they had suggested not to use the Lactic Acid and Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic) with any peptide. Based on your suggestions I am currently using Timeless Vitamic CEF and recently purchased the Timeless CoEnzyme Q10 and The ordinary Lactic Acid.
Since you are a subject matter expert in this, can you please lend your thoughts on whether, it is safe to use Timeless CoEnzyme Q10 with Lactic Acid and Vit C? I am a newbie in skincare. Highly appreciate your time and advice!

Warm Regards!

  I’m not aware of any reason to keep those serums separated. Did Deciem offer an explanation? or any suggestion for you of how to use those ingredients (all of which they sell) in your skincare routine?

can you tell me about your experience with the ordinary peeling solution.

  The 30% AHA peeling solution from the Ordinary is red so it’s not aesthetically lovely to use (you look like your face is bloody), but it is pretty strong. My skin was a bit irritated from it and I did have some peeling/flaking skin from it that lasted a few days.

Hi Angie

First off this Canadian gal is so happy I found your site I am loving every bit of it, I have a question for you, I use to use Retin A, well I am going to get back into it so my question is with the vitamin c serum and the lactic acid serum should I start off slowly with those also ( like the Retin A once a week to start?, or are they safe enough to use everyday? Or do we need to build a tolerance to those as well) I just started with Retin-A last night was my first one for the week I will be doing it again next Sunday. Sorry for rambling on I just don’t want to do this wrong I’m 48 and want to kick my skin into high gear!!! Thank you for all you do for us with your videos and blog!!!

Thank you for all the great information!

  I don’t use a dedicated eye cream since I’m already using the strongest anti-aging ingredients in my regular skincare I just put all of them under my eyes.

Thanks for all your info. I’m loving how well you explain things. As I approach the big 5-0 skin care is increasingly important. My question is I currently use drunk elephant frambooz at night. Love the change I see from it. I want to add a retinol to my routine. When? Are you supposed to use them st the same time? Only at night? Can you help?

1. Angie says:

  Hi Renee~ Retinol should be used at night so ideally you’d use it first after cleansing. You could move the frambooz to the morning or try using both at night. Just be on the lookout for irritation, redness, itching or burning and if that happens, cut back on one. With AHAs and retinoids it’s important to protect your skin during the day from sun with a broad spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30. xo ~angie

HI Angie
Just recently found. I am 56 years old, have lived in the sun my entire life in hot hot hot Miami! Imagine! I too never wore sunscreen, I am mostly seeing damage under my eyes, occasional puffiness, but the line and wrinkles. Short of surgery, I am at my wits end. Any suggestions?
Thanks

  Hi B~ I think laser treatments can be pretty effective for under eye wrinkles. It probably takes a few treatments and you’d have to get info on it from a laser specialist. xo ~angie

Hi Angie,
I’ve been following your blog and you tube channel for about 3 months now. I’m so happy I stumbled onto you. I am 56 years old and enjoy the information you share. I have a question concerning a.m. routine. Can you tell me your sequence for primer, moisturizer and sunscreen? I thought you were doing it in that order then I read somewhere else that sunscreen went first.

Thanks for all your advice.

  Hi Kelly~ I’m so happy you like my blog! In the morning I put on my serums, then moisturizer, then sunscreen (so all skincare first, then sunscreen as the last step of skincare). Then I wait 15-20 minutes for the sunscreen to set. Then I apply whatever makeup I’m wearing that day which may or may not include primer. xo ~angie

Angie, Thank you for all your information. I enjoy your videos and value all the time and research you put into giving us your results. I appreciate your insider, best girlfriend tips. Its so frustrating being 50 something and needing to get up to speed on the latest beauty trends to maintain the “natural/fresh” look without looking too madeup or matronly.

Hi Angie. I heard you refer to yourself as a chemistry nerd and, well, I am too. Sounds like you already know so much, but if you haven’t heard of this book yet, you might really be interested. Its by a pretty well known dermatologist here in Miami:

https://www.amazon.com/Cosmeceuticals-Cosmetic-Ingredients-Leslie-Baumann/dp/0071793984

It lists all the ingredients and what they are and what they do for skincare. Its expensive…..I want to get it for Xmas. Hope you like it.

  Thanks Lorraine! I have “The Skincare Ingredients Handbook” by Linda Walker that I refer to, but I’ll check out Dr. Baumann’s book too! xo

Sorry for my second question – i see that you use tretinoin and retinol from CeraVe Skin. Would this menas that tretinoin alone doesn’t work enough for the skin? Do you know how much retinol CeraWe product has?
What good things can Olay Regenerist Microsculpting Cream? I always thought that jar package ist bed. Thank you very much.
