I really like bareMinerals Skinlongevity Vital Power Infusion. I use it morning and night under whatever moisturizer I am using. It isn’t heavy and I really feel it helps my skin.
Retinol is one of the best ingredients for this. I have been really liking the Musely regimen as I also have some discoloration I'm treating and they offer prescription strength options for both.
SkinBetter Science-- (1) Alto Defense-- Vitamin C serum; amazing!; (2) Alpha Ret-- new technology retinoid to perfect skin without the irritation of many other retinoid/retinol products; (3) Peel Pads-- great for glow-up events
In the skincare world, there's not just one kind of "anti aging" serum. Certain products only address certain skin conditions/types. My first question would be what's your current routine, how long have you used those products, skin type, what concerns do you have, and what's your budget? { I'm a medical esthetician, obvi..lol} Alot of these recommendations are good, but they all play their part seperately. True anti aging happens with aesthetic treatments because creams only penetrate the top 2 layers of the epidermis, if that. Mostly they just sit on your skin and protect/aid the barrier function. And unfortunately, skin care isn't cheap, no matter what your friend tells you.
Revitalift by Loreal. Also I was on the monthly plan for Derm Exclusive but canceled my subscription, I see you can now get it direct from Amazon. The daily cream, hyaluronic acid and eye serum are awesome. Cleansing products from Derm Exclusive also. I got them all each month for about a year. It just got to be too expensive. I may go back to auto ship for the monthly kits.
