Location: Minnesota Registered: 12 September 2011 Posts: 140 | Hello all, I've been applying 5% Salicylic Acid (SA) peels about twice per week for the last two weeks in the evening before bed, and I follow the peel immediately with CP Serum. During the day, I've been using Skin Signals Cream (SSC) but I think it may be too strong. I've also used the Copper Sun Tanning lotion on my face as well, but in the warmer weather, it feels heavier than SSC. I was wondering if Two Timing Tightener (TTT) or Sebum Be Gone can be used as a moisturizer, or if I would need a biological oil on top for daytime before applying make-up, but I'm worried that my face will look like an oil slick if I add oil on top. Both TTT and Sebum Be Gone have glycerin and aloe, so I was wondering if that would be enough moisture for the warmer months. Any helpful information you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

I must have been applying too much, but it is sort of hard to control how much comes out of the bottle. If I were to apply the oil on a clean face at night and let it absorb, would it be necessary to wash my face in the morning? Seems like a silly question, but I'm just wondering if my face would begin to look oily as the day goes on if I did not wash my face in the morning. Thanks! |

I feel my skin is well protected at this point. If I wear makeup, I skip the moisturising because I have oily skin and I'm break out prone. I find this combination works well. Sebum Be Gone is rarely mentioned- I love this product!This message has been edited. Last edited by: SkinBiologyWebmaster, |
