Do you use anti aging skin care products?
 

I'm not quite forty yet, but am starting to use anti aging skin care products. I was wondering if anyone else is in this same age zone but focusing on anti aging skin care?

What products do you use? Which ones do you like, dislike? I'm always looking for suggestions, currently the product line I use right now is a little pricey, and you never know when ends wont' meet to keep up that regimen.

:(I am getting ready to turn 30 and already find myself looking for anti-wrinkle creams, oils, lotions. So...common people what do you use that works? :)

I've been using Body Shop Vitamin E cream, applied morning and night, for the last 5 years. I'll be 60 in 30 days and glad to say still no wrinkles.

I think that Retin A is a good deterrent from wrinkles. I use Obagi products. You can buy them online, but my Facial Person is where I get mine. I cannot stress enough. Use the highest sunscreen on your face everyday that you can. You don't want to zinc it white, but a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen (i use spf 40) is GREAT. The Sun is the ENEMY of your face. If you want a tan, Fake and Bake it. I am 43 years old. I don't have any wrinkles and I have not had botox or fillers. Genetics, do play a role, but starting young and avoiding the sun is KEY!! Hope this helps! xx

I am 38 and I have been using anti aging products since my early 20's. WHY? Because it is ANTI Aging. lol I have wanted to keep the wrinkles a way. I also wear sunscreen on my face every day of the year. I do not sun bathe. I believe if you want good skin you have to do everything to achieve it. Funny, people always say how young I look or point out how great my skin looks. HMMM wonder why? Maybe because I take care of it? lol

I use all of Jennifer Flavin Stallone's products. I have an eyecream in my purse and apply again mid day.

I want to keep my good skin. :)

You are my idol. Being proactive, I wish I was. I only got into it a few years ago. I wish I was more proactive, like you. Kudos.

The eye serum I've used the last year is the Elite Eye Serum, but it's a bit pricey. Although they occasionally run good sales but I can never time it right to stock up, lol. Their stuff is great, but I just wish there was a sub-20 dollar formula that worked just as well.

Anyone have any cheap product suggestions? (that work)

I use all Estee Lauder makeup & face care products. The Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Creme is a great under make=up moisturizer. I also LOVE the Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Eye Creme and the Perfectionists Wrinkle Lifting Serum is amazing to take those little laugh lines away & it feels so nice. I also use the Soft Clean Foaming Cleanser (BEST EVER face cleaner) and I have the RLE Ultra Firming Night Time Creme but not crazy about it -- just a little too heavy for me. I do not like creams that stay on the skin. I want them to sink in and disappear like the daytime version does. Not bad though -- of the line I LOVE 4 of the 5 products.

They have a great special offer right now: Skincare - Tools & More - Sets & Gifts - Getaway Skincare Collection: Lifting/Firming — Estée Lauder Official Site This is basically getting all the products 1/2 price and two pretty bags thrown in for free -- $65 for all. I looked up to get the exact product names without going to my bathroom & was rewarded with the special. So I ordered one thinking it will make a nice little gift item for my mom.

They have more intense anti-aging products but I like the Ultra Lifting line the best. I have tried sample sizes of some of the others but Lifting & firming is what I need. Most of you seem to be in a younger category and would probably like the "Protect/Prevent/First Signs of Aging Regimen" Estée Lauder Official Site helps prevent getting to my stage ;) or eventhe Youth Infusion Hydration Regimen. One thing about EL -- none of the names are short or simple. :confused:

I am really an Estee Lauder fan. If you wind up not liking something, you can always return it. I have never just asked for a refund, but I did exchange some makeup when they talked me into trying the Resilience Cream Compact Makeup -- I did not like it at all -- again, heavier feel while I only like the ultra light stuff.

That's really great to know. I appreciate the information. EL is widely available in department stores, I assume? Actually, scratch that, I order online anyways. Thanks for the sale tip.

I don't know if you read any derm sites. But, if you read any well-known interview with a Derm - they pretty much all say Vitamin C/E serum in the morning, SPF in the morning, retinol product at night, moisturizer at night.

I *love* the Clarisonic too - cleans your skin like nothing else, which helps product absorb better.

I am also loving Embryolisse Lait Creme (made in France, but on Amazon ).

Good friend is a dermatologist and he echos what you say. Although Retinol can be bad for some women, it depends on the level of concentration.

Speaking of Amazon.com, I just ordered the Dark Circle Serum . It gets good reviews and is a top seller there, and I've been plagued by these puppies for a bit. I'll report back findings.
