New here. Rolling w/ highest concentration tretinoin cream for a month; tone and color much better, but sagging and deep wrinkling as yet unaffected (did read Sarah's instructions, which addressed this issue satisfactorily; I'm simply impatient, I guess).
On a wild hair, and w/ some biochemistry background, I mixed up a scrub of meat tenderizer and OTC glycerin, which I use while in the tub. Using a brush to scrub this off was irritating, even though my skin is pretty resilient by now. Alone, though, this seemed to yield a nice, refined result.
Can anyone tell me if this practice might have a future bad result?

Since enzymatic meat tenderizers break down the peptide bonds between the amino acids in collagen, I do not think it is a good idea to use them. If you wanted to exfoliate, use fine table salt or ground coffee.

--ooooooohhhHHHHHH. Break down peptide bonds. Not good. Not good at all. Will stop with the meat tenderizer yesterday. Thank you for the info.
