Skin & Me vs Dermatica

I'm going to try one of these brands, never having used them before.
But, I'm not sure which one is better as a subscription model.
Has anyone used both and has more of a preference for one over the other?
I'm mainly using it for lines/wrinkles etc, do the actually work?
Happy to subscribe at £20 a month but does it stay at that figure or do you end up increasing it?
I can't seem to find any unbiased reviews on google so if you have any experience I'd love to know

I use Skin & Me. I pay £24.99 a month and don’t really want to switch as I believe my rate is lower, plus my skin looks great.

I don’t use it every night as I forget or want a break so when I do use it I usually include a dose for my neck and sometimes a dose for my décolletage as well, which now looks great!

It is a lot every month but I’ve not needed concealer or foundation for 3 years! My look looks the best it’s ever been so I’m happy to pay it.

I used skin + me for a few months and it made no difference - if anything it made my skin greasier. Also smelled horrible - would not recommend.

I'm 46. I've tried both. Here's my take:

Dermatica (£25/12.5ml): Standout customer service and consultation process.
Skin + Me (£30/12ml): Highly effective for acne, inflammation and redness.

I've also tried Monderma and Obagi.

Monderma (£24/15ml): Best for reducing age spots, lines and chic packaging.
Obagi (£97/20ml): Didn’t stand out and felt more like a marketing gimmick.

Each product has its advantages depending on your skin's needs.

I recommend either's tret over retinol and other OTC night creams.

Here are 3 of their pumps.

Skin & Me vs Dermatica

I've tried both. Started on dermatica and moved to skin and me. I didn't like the texture of the dermatica, it has a thick, Vaseline-like texture. The skin & me is a cream.

Oh shit. This is a zombie resurrected by a spammer. Of course.
