Thank you!  I'm having so much fun doing this.  You're doing a good basic job I can tell.  Here are some thoughts for fine tuning more.  Do you have a hat with a good brim??  Hats are real skin savers if you work in the sun - even just a baseball hat is better than nothing.  A nice, wide brim is even better.

 I'm not sure which Obagi product that is but the Triluma (prescription) is probably going to be better.  It has a little tretinoin (generic for Retin A) in it and you use it just on the spots.  I would stop the Retin A all over for the summer and resume in the fall.   You may eventually need a different laser than the IPL but try a few more times with that in the winter before changing (you may need a fractionated CO2). 

Did you know that the Zinclear sunscreen also comes in a tinted version?  The sunscreen layering you are doing is perfect.    Dr. I
