Best face cream for 50+

My skin is good as a rule but needing a bit more care perhaps. Currently using a No7 day cream and a Lancome (can't do the circumflex) night cream. What do you reckon? Can anything take 20 years off me?

Am 46 and have noticed a huge difference in last 2months after changing (upping the ante) whole regime...in short, I don't think any one cream can do it...but lots of stuff is doing something.

I am using Liquid Gold glycolic acid every other night, and the night I'm not using that, I'm using Liquid Gold rejuvenating cream. Using Decleor facial oil 2 x a day under normal moisturiser (Decleor in the morning) P and P N7 at night.
One of those things, or maybe a combo Grin is doing something, because my skin is looking glowy.

I am about to plunge into the hardcore acid schizzlers as well when my LG finishes.

I think if I had to choose the 1 cream I think has made a visible difference in the past (and which I'm going to try again) it's Neal'sYard Frankinsense.

Well Bucharest I googled Liquid Gold and the first hits were a mixture of poppers and Lakeland's Wood Reviver. Now that is hardcore!
Yes I can see that this mean more money and a more rigourous approach or just a quiet acceptance of the inevitable.

Grin Oh dear!

Try LG glycolic acid!

My 50+ mum didn't really like any creams, would use them a little while and then forget, as she didn't see any difference. But one year I bought her this and she loves it (and actually uses it as well!)

Thank you both - very kind to reply.

I am now thinking ACID?! I note the LG includes licorice - do you think an internal application of allsorts, torpedoes and laces would do the trick?

This is all more complicated (and expensive) than I thought :)

I used to use the Capture range that Hazle links to. Loved it, smells divine.

Sorry pressed return too soon - I really love it, think it has done wonders for my skin.
