40+ Skincare....what are you using?

[Only1scoop]

And how good is it?

I'm 41 with slightly sensitive complexion ....a few crows feet and skin feeling dehydrated....

Just finished my Decleor eye cream and moisturiser and feel like I need something richer....maybe a serum.

Are you using anything fab at the moment?....looking for a day cream....night cream....eye cream

I use clarins cleanser and toner but have run out if everything else....

A race against 'wrinkling' time

Thanks very much.

Hi 1scoop!

I am 43 and only put it on at night, but my sister puts it on religiously morning and night. She is 42 and her skin is perfect, decades younger. She has been using it since it came out. Me since Christmas when she utterly convinced me to get it.

Be careful with the 'pipette' thingy, it makes you use too much, even the lady selling it in John Lewis complained about this to me, apparently they are going to change the packaging. She showed me a largeish pea sized bit on her finger tip and then gently apply over face and another pea sized bit over jawline and neck, maybe a bit more at first, apply by sort of patting/dabbing in it in. Let it soak in. It says avoid eye área but I don't, I need it there, I just don't get it in my actual eyes!

Let it soak in for at least 10 minutes before you put anything else on your face.

After about a week of using it I didn't need a moisturiser in addition, any more.

I have had the YSL 2 days now was a bargain and its v nice to use am hoping for a miracle !

Think I have used too much as no instructions

Noddy did you get the Boots set have you tried the little cream and eye cream yet?

Somer thanks that's fab ....I'd have used way to much I reckon....

Might have been a Bargain but at normal price I need to be sparing

This is what I use.

Evening
Cleanse with Avene Cold Cream and a wet cloth, just warm, not hot.
Clarins Santal Oil or Ren Bio-Retinoid Concentrate on alternate days.
L'Occitane Creme Divine

Morning
Splash with water
La Roche Posay Rosaliac AR Intense - it's a serum and then either Avene Rougeurs Intense or Elemis Pro-collagen Marine Cream.
I used to dislike the Elemis cream, but had some samples that needed using up and have changed my mind about it.

My skin is good, but funnily enough recently I started getting people who don't know me guessing my age at least 10years younger and I think that coincided with the start of Creme Divine.

Might be a just a sheer coincidence though.

Yes I got it in boots. Have used all 3 but she told me I may not need to once the serum kicks in.

Clarisonic nightly, followed by a smothering of clarins double serum, then a few minutes later revitalift (cheap but good), drink 2 liters water a day and plenty of fresh fruit/veg, and sun block for the face essential!
