So good to hear your hair appointment was a success, Enid
I'd completely forgotten about the art gallery, we may need to hire Fabio the Dermaplaning Lion as a scowling security guard extraordinaire now that we don't have our permascowls on anymore.
mint, no, if you struggle with BHA, the gentlest of actives, retinol is definitely off the table. Sorry to hear you're inundated with all sorts of ill at the moment. 
Pupsie, I hope I'm not overstepping but we have a history of Alzheimer's in the family so I've seen the impact quite directly it has had on those surrounding the disease. I think it's probably worth considering seeking some external support for yourself, it's tough enough when you have a good relationship but I imagine it's even tougher when you've been NC for so long and as the disease progresses it only becomes more difficult.
As for the Verso, well I do love it and it fits into my frugal philosophy as it's 30ml (twice the size of a normal eye product) and a little goes a very long way (it's cheapest from Skincity and occasionally they do an offer, I always stock up at Christmas). I can't say what it does for someone older, I started using it at I think 29 and as I've said before, absence of ageing doesn't prove much in my case. I think growing old gracefully, or in a way you 'manage' it rather than you, it's also a broader approach, skin is just the outer reflection and a small part of the whole picture. Minimising stress, good diet, good quality of sleep, regular exercise, keeping the brain active, etc. The usual basically, and good genes help too.
There's a new book out, haven't purchased yet, think it only got released a few days ago, but for those who were interested in the Telomere Effect, this is in a similar alley but more focused on long-term brain health, Brain Food: How to Eat and Sharpen Your Mind.
Twoo, well it depends on what type of pic. Personally, I'm better with descriptions than pictures, beyond suspecting something like Rosacea or chronic inflammation pictures don't tell me much. I definitely wouldn't be able to tell much from a small patch of skin, and by the sound of it, you've had fairly easy skin most of your life. Do you want to double cleanse setup or a single cleanse btw?
Lone, well I'll go proper shouty caps about a stock up in a Spanish pharmacy as that's a huge leap between the TO/Indeed retinol and off-prescription use of tretinoin especially since you say you have no clue what to look for . Traditional Retinol would be the thing to look at and see how you tolerate it. And time, lots of it, this is the hardest thing with Retinol, you need to give it time and most don't and then desperation strikes which leads to the questionable situation that is sourcing off prescription tret, it's a bad motivation to work from, and IMO a foolish one at that. It's a medicine, and it needs to be treated as such.
I found Dr. Dray difficult at the beginning too, her very thin appearance bothers me mostly so I never actually 'watch' her, just listen to her in the background. I also suspect she's on the spectrum somewhere, but I have a few of those in my family and direct surroundings so I'm quite used to the way she talks/engages. The information is good though and I do think having a variety of derms and their differing opinions is helpful, the likes of NB (who's better informed than most) is just a different source to me but the close ties to the industry can sometimes be a bit of a hindrance. Trinny, whilst wildly entertaining, shouldn't ever be taken seriously skincare wise though, she can barely pronounce the different ingredients, never mind understand what they're doing. She's also got the hide of a rhino which isn't the best baseline for general advice.
JDSTER, I'll update on the Medik8 tomorrow as it will have been a week then.
