It might be diminishing returns for a lot of people, so they might not feel like they want to.

But a lot of my patients are kind of trying to do the most.

And I do feel like there is value in adding peptides, specifically copper peptides and also like metrixol, which is another peptide that just

helps with collagen signaling.

It is.

It's the best studied, specifically L-ascorbic acid, which is a type of vitamin C. It is not tolerated well by all skin types, but if someone can tolerate it, we have the best data to support that it not only helps with collagen synthesis and slowing collagen breakdown, but it also can help with irregular pigmentation formation and reducing that.

And that's in the morning and then the tretinones at night.

Yes, you technically can use vitamin C at night if you wanted to.

It lasts in the skin quite a long time, but usually we think about it in the morning and your morning routine is really there to like protect.

And then I think your nighttime routine is there to correct.

And is there anything you would add on top of that routine?

No, I think that's it.

I mean, you want to cleanse and moisturize.

But outside of that, like if someone is doing those three things in their routine, I tell my patients all the time, like you are solid.

You don't have to add anything else.

And you are covering 98% of your skincare bases.

I feel like I have multiple I could think of for S-tier.

One of them would be something you take orally, which is polypodium leucotomus, which is a fern derivative that helps with sun protective effects.

People call it like oral sunscreen, which is a stretch for sure, but it can help you become more resistant to sun damage.

And it's something I recommend to my patients who have sun sensitive disorders or who spend a lot of time outside.
