Hell my dear readers! I am here today with a Skincare Routine Update! Please see my Skincare Routine Intro Post here and my cleansers here: GlyDerm Gentle Cleanser and Topix Resurfix Ultra Gentle Cleanser. As I find and test products that enter my "permanent" skincare rotation, they will be labeled as a "Skincare Routine" item. Some products come and go, but the real keepers will be entered into the official "Skincare Routine"!
So...Wow!!! I have finally found *it*! This is the product that has been "missing" from my skincare routine!!! A great moisturizer! Whoo-hoo!
As someone with dry skin, I need a lot of moisture (obvious, right, lol!). Well, I have, in the past, primarily relied on my moisture provided in my SPF daytime lotion, moisturizing toners, and lightweight gel-based moisturizers. I was very hesitant to add a heavy moisturizer in the PM as I did not want it to dilute the strength of my night time treatment cream (Differin Cream) nor did I want any ingredients in the cream to "interact" or block active ingredients in my treatment products.
Well, after reading a great post by dermatologist, Cynthia Bailey, on her amazing blog (go check it out here) about layering products and Glycolix Elite Fortified Cream (by Topix Pharmaceuticals), I had to give this product a try! To summarize Dr. Bailey, she stated that Glycolix Elite Fortified Cream is safe to layer with treatment products as it will not impact the result of your treatments. Your treatment products will penetrate through the cream. This is exactly what I need! I love it!!!
