I'm hesitant to try the Philosophy type products because I prefer the more hard core stuff at the dermatologists, but Fringey - do you swear by that stuff before I plunk down $85?
DTB: glycolic acid? Damn, I've been addicted to that shit since college. It always annoyed me that you had to pay $75 (this was in college) to get 1/2 teaspoon of the stuff on your face, only to rinse it off after 20 seconds. So....I went direct to the manufacturer and pretended I was manufacturing household cleaning products (thanks to the Internets I found out it was used in those products too). My cover was blown when I requested a gallon of the shit (that is 10 lifetimes of peels, but too little for cleaning products). Anyhow, the strongest stuff you can buy is http://www.makeupartistschoice.com/7...rder.htm]here. I use it occasionally - nice tight pores.
Okay I guess I'll get the DMAE stuff too. RT- are bcp's really good for the skin? I can't take them though. I get all weepy.

I do not swear by it. But I like it. I think it does the glow-y thing well. And it is only $65 -- you can get it at Sephora.
Why not get dermabraded (not microdermabraded) or have a real real peel at the dermatologist?
