I have been using the SB products for about 9 mos with no irritation. I am currently using Super Cop on my entire face and around the eyes, I follow with emu oil. I also use lascal and rotate retin a. Should I move up to super cop 2x. I have some milia under my eyes and some acne scarring I would still like to work on. My skin is overall looking better, but I want to improve as much as possible.

Hello Peyton. Are you using any weekly peels yet? That really helped move my skin along.

Dear peyton18:

Yes the use of an effective method of exfoliation will also be key to seeing improved results.

So make sure that you are using some kind of abrasion along with the products (be that a skin peel as suggested, or milder leave-on hydroxy acid, or manual method of abrasion).

If you've done well using Regular Super Cop Cream (no irritation) for your next order, work up to Super Cop 2X Extra Strength .

I have had a tca peel in the spring from the doctors office and usually try to get on every year. I also use a gentle exfoliant daily. What peel would be safe for weekly use? I have always been afraid to do one on myself. Thanks for any help.

Dear peyton18:

If you are using a daily exfoliator and every once in a while getting a TCA peel, this may be sufficient. The key is not to overdo things by trying to go too strong too quickly.

Ideas on how you can improve your results would be:
1. Start using a stronger copper-peptide product (move up from Reg Super Cop to Super Cop 2X) or...
2. Use a more effective daily exfoliant: Try LacSal Cream 10% hydroxy acid leave-on or use a microdermabrasion cloth
3. Research if a 20% or 40% Lactic Acid peel applied every two weeks might be beneficial for your skin type.
