Good serum for dry slightly saggy skin (face)?

I'm in my early 50s and have been using facial oils for a couple of years, which have improved the texture of my skin and got rid of my dry patches. I got the Liberty advent calendar last year and loved lots of things including the Dr Sebagh hyaluronic acid Serum Repair which I've used for 6 months at night (with a facial oil on top) and it seems to have tightened my skin a lot - pretty happy with the result. But it's nearly empty Sad Can't decide if it's worth splashing out on a new bottle or if there is something good out there that's similar but cheaper. Not in U.K. so can't get to high street stores, so has to be online.

I have sensitive skin so tend to go for stuff that doesn't have loads of ingredients; I like 'natural' stuff though I understand everything is a chemical Grin; don't do well with petroleum products; skin is generally normal-dry with dry patches sometimes. I live in a climate with colder winters and hotter summers than the U.K. but generally drier.

I do have some wrinkles but they are less of a concern than the sagginess that seemed to appear out of nowhere a few years ago!

I have looked at the fantastic skincare threads but am a bit daunted Shock

Please help or my chins will be merging with my bust!

Have you tried the Neal's Yard Facial Oils? www.nealsyardremedies.com/skincare/organic-facial-skincare/facial-serums-and-oils/

I use the Rose one and I know a few women who swear by the Frankincense one. All organic and smells lovely!

Fakefur thank you - I love Neal's Yard stuff but haven't tried the oils. I use the frankincense moisturiser and it's really good. I will check out the rose oil and see what they have in serums. I think maybe for me using the right serum under the oil helps it to absorb better.

I'm not in the UK and where I live has a similar climate, I have similar skin too. I've found L'Oreal Age Perfect Cell Renewal Oil to be amazing. Its almost indentical to Kiehls Midnight Recovery, which I love, but a fifth of the price.

I also love Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Ampoule, its widely touted as a dupe for Ester Lauder's Advanced Night, but I honestly find the Missha version much, much better. Again, Missha is a fraction of the cost.

If you have had success with the Dr Sebagh product, my advice would be to stick to it! Not many face treatments visibly live up to their promises, so when you find one which suits you it's a wonderful thing. Having said that, I swear by Dr Hauschka products (cleanser and rose cream especially), and have used them for years, altho now I'm 55 I'm adding some slightly more hardcore stuff (like Polyfilla)
