Now that the brown spots I had zapped with liquid nitrogen have healed -- lighter but not totally gone -- I am going to start the CP summer routine. My plan is AM: Copper Sun on face before and after tanning.
PM: Finish up the product I have which contains L-ascorbic acid, retinol propionate and glycolic acid. My face seems irritated -- flaky, red -- so I may try every other night applications.

I stopped using a day cream sunscreen with micronized titanium dioxide and niacinimide and licorice because I'm thinking that the licorice works by suppressing melanin -- why suppress a normal skin response? Also, I'm not sure but does niacinimide also suppress melanin? Is niacinimide compatable with CP products??

Melanin is the most protective anti-oxidant in the skin.
