  1. 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:
