This episode explores the question of how we can maintain a naturally youthful look as we get older. Brett — a New York City oculofacial plastic surgeon who specializes in both non-surgical and surgical cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the eyes and face — shares some remarkably practical advice on everything from the most extensive procedural options, down to the simple steps one can do themselves, starting today, that can make a tremendous impact. Brett also discusses how to pick a provider you trust while you’re sorting through the ever-growing list of facial treatments and cosmetic procedures.

Can you post Brett’s suggested AM/PM skin routines and the products of recommendation? I understand he uses the below:
1. Vitamin C serum
2. Retinol 0.1% wash
3. Broad spectrum sunscreen
The details would be great, including any lotions.
Update: While I still would like to see Peter post the recommendations, I came across the below additional info on routine:
