What actually made a difference to your skin?

[Finelinesdontlookfine]

I have tried facials (including hydro facial which was ££), various serums, creams etc and they all seem to do very little.

I have had Botox around my eyes and I am keen to get it again in and in my forehead / 11s too but I am currently pregnant so it will be next year that I look into that.

My forehead has so many fine lines and looks seriously dehydrated.

Please tell me - what worked for you?

Vitamin C and tret.

Alpha h liquid gold

Full fat Nivea, exercise, lots of fluids.

The Ordinary retinol with squalene at night, and the Ordinary buffet in the morning. After a few weeks of this routine I started getting so many compliments. Not expensive, either.

Jogging
Sauna

All the facials in the world won’t make you look as good as a ten minute slow jog twice a week. Yes, I know, I hate jogging too.

Tretinoin for me!

I went dairy free for 18 months because dd 2 was dairy intolerant.
My skin was the best it's ever been, I stopped having to use moisturiser and facewash, no greasy spots just soft supple skin

Ren ready steady glow

Snail Muncin serum and cream layered under usual moisturiser

My skin was seriously dehydrated and just looked dull and horrible. Since using these daily with a retinol product in the evening it's much brighter and looks/feels plumper and more hydrated.

Lots and lots of water. No sugar.

I have really spotty skin. The spots disappeared and have stayed away after I started using dermalogica daily microfoliant. I also have pretty oily skin so no moisturisers etc - just the dermalogica daily microfoliant once a day.

Hyalauronic acid serum and then moisturiser in the morning and Clinique Moisture Surge at night.

Grüum's klår Brightening Facial Cleanser in charcoal & orange

Salicylic Acid
Hyaluronic acid
Retinol
SPF

I started really looking after my skin last year (after many years of a basic cleanse, tone and moisturiser with spf twice a day) and I’ve realised just how dehydrated it was.

The main things I’ve added in are Hada Labo hyaluronic acid, Dermatica Tret, Squalane after my normal moisturiser, and The Ordinary Argireline for my frown line.

I used to have Botox and the softening of my frown line that I’ve got from Airgireline and Tret is almost as good but much, much cheaper!

Same.

I use skin&me

Weleda skin food is brilliant for my dry skin

Water. I started drinking enough water, I looked younger. I’ve called off the wagon with that this month as changed roles slightly at work and suddenly look haggered again. Drink more water.

also previously gained weight and it seemed to fill out the wrinkles. I have a choice between a flat belly or a fab face.

Salycylic acid- face wash, gel to dab on as needed, shampoo and conditioner. Only thing that has helped my rosacea, hormonal spots, and itchy scalp.

Daily hot yoga
Water
Sleep
Argan oil
Exfoliation once a week
Good genes

A few things - less alcohol, beauty pie sleep oil, Clinique take the day off and moisture surge, beauty pie flash face lift and wren ever calm balm.

Water
Sleep
Tret
Laser facials

I'm going to say retinol and vit c if you're just talking about skincare.

I don't think you need to be told that a healthy lifestyle works wonders!

But I will say I do think some skin-types are more prone to wrinkling than others. I'm a sagger not a wrinkler, I absolutely will be getting a lower face lift at some point but botox and fillers have never held any appeal.

Ascorbic acid powder TO
etude house spf 50
tretinoin cream
LED mask
microneedling
TO argeriline
Hado Labo Premium Gold hyaluronic acid serum
Weleda Skin Food Rich

Same as a pp; giving up dairy. Being better with sun cream has improved the look of my skin.

Thank you!

Any spf recs that aren’t too thick on the skin please?
