Best skin care for older skin

Can someone please recommend an eye cream that can reduce wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness?

Also, a good anti ageing moisturiser, an age appropriate foundation that doesn't highlight my wrinkles and pores, and a great concealer for good measure.

I'm aware I'm asking for the holy grail, but I'm willing to spend the £s now.

Try Boots future & renew range, their eye serum made a difference on my 50s eyes. Also retinol/tretinoin at night for the whole face

Elizabeth Arden ceramides products. There are different ones depending on your skin type.

I use the line erasing and youth restoring ones and they have made a huge difference to my tired 54 year old skin. Colleagues and friends comment on how great my skin looks, but more importantly I love the way my skin feels.

I buy them from Direct Cosmetics, much cheaper!

A retinoid at night, a vitamin C in the morning.

An all round serum like the Future Renew mentioned above. Take it up around your eyes. You don't really need a separate eye cream (the development of serums almost negated the need for eye creams) but one with caffeine might help puffiness.

N7 Hydraluminous
Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue
Erborian BB

These are all medium coverage, yet not matte foundations.

Thanks, I'm going shopping today. I'll see what I can pick up.

I have been using a low dose retinol for years, a few months ago I thought I'd upgrade to the inkey list 1%

I clearly went all in too soon as it really messed up my skin, now I'm scared to use it more than once every couple of weeks, and it's not making a difference at all. Any recommendations for a good one?
