Best serum for 50 yo.....

[BaconAndAvocado]

Turning 50 recently, I thought I would up my game re looking after myself and splurged on some Clarins moisturiser.

Any recommendations for a good face serum?

My skin is normal/combination with ever increasing sagginess

The Ordinary Buffet with Copper peptides is the one serum that’s made a noticeable difference to my 54 year old skin. It looks brighter and firmer when I use it. It’s expensive for The Ordinary, about £28 but not compared to many others.

My favourite is Lancôme genefique but it's expensive.

Lidl, seriously.

@mrspelligrino, could say which one or post a link to it? Thanks

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair.

Expensive but it’s fantastic stuff for any age.

I bought the Lidl one after reading about it on S&B. 50 ml for just £2.99!
Slap Astral or Nivea on top. Brilliant.

Or even the Lidl Classic cream on top,bloody brilliant!

I really don't think any of these products do much good.

Skin quality is all about diet, sleep, not too much sugar and booze, and high spf 30+ every single day.

Sugar actually causes a break down of collagen through skin inflammation.

Far better to focus on diet than pseudo science.

My diet is pretty unhealthy, I look after my skin very well and I'm often told how "perfect" it is.

Even when I have eaten cleanly my skin hasn't changed so I don't buy that it all comes from inside. In fact, my skin seems to be affected my environment,when I spent a long period of time in hospital my skin was gorgeous

I'm 43, I use Clinique Smart Repair serum under my moisturiser.

It was £63 on offer in Boots for Black Friday usually approx £72 for 50ml.
It's really good, I've used it before, but you have to wear a moisturiser containing sunscreen over it, probably as I expect it has some retinol or similar in the serum.

My skin seems less dry, & glows more.

Elizabeth Arden Prevage intense serum.

OP as you like your Clarins moisturiser, why don't you look into the Clarins Double Serum which gets lots of good reviews? Now is a good thing me to buy as there are lots of offers on.

I have found Sarah Chapman very good. Bit pricey but I can see improvements which is rare. Look out for it on sites like Look Fantastic that often have 20% off.

I don’t get serum, does it just go on certain parts of the face underneath the usual moisturiser?

You can put it all over your face or just on certain areas. It should go underneath moisturiser.

Agree with @Honeybee85 about the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair. Amazing stuff!

Advanced Night Repair is lovely - and you can sometimes get it in a Christmas set where you get a full sized bottle and a load of other stuff, for not much m ore than the single product.
