A treatment for good skin

Hi,

I'm a 25 year old male, and I used to have acne several years ago.
After accutane, I don't get it anymore, however I do still get the
occassional spot. I manage to keep those under control with a little
cream, and surprise surprise, lots of sleep!

However, my skin still feels rough, I still look older than I am, and I
was wondering what my options are. Can you recommend some good
treatments that I can use regularly to help give my skin that old
cliche, "the youthful glow"

I've heard of various products like Aqua Glycolic, which sounds very
extreme, and also vitamin E creams, etc.. However, I don't know if
these will actually do the trick for my skintype which is dry at times,
greasy at other times.

Also, I don't want to spend money on something that hasn't been
clinically proven, because there are lots of dodgy products in the
cosmetics industry.

I once found a vitamin E cream which did a great job,but the company
stopped making it. So, what's a good one? Preferably one that's either
available in the UK, or online.

Thanks

The part of your skin that you see is dead epidermis. Smearing things
on it can improve its appearance, only by covering it up or tinting
it. If you want better looking skin, you have to grow it from the
underside. And each new layer takes about 30 days to come to the
surface. So, even if you feed yours better nutrients, expect one to
several months to see it restructure itself.

Nutrients that have helped the texture of my skin are vitamins C and
E, and MSM, an organic sulfur supplement. Also based on my own
experience, large doses of visibly alcohol age me (or maybe, my eyes
are what get older), And everyone I know who smokes tobacco looks
ancient.
