What to do for wrinkles??

I’ve just come back from holiday and I can’t believe how wrinkly I am in photos. My eyes are the worst and now inspecting my face I can see my skin sagging. I use a hyaluronic moisturiser and wrinkle eye cream daily. I did try retinol but saw no improvements. Then read about over doing retinol and making skin thinner. What do people do? I can’t afford Botox or facials. Do supplements actually work?

How old are you?
Tretinoin won’t thin skin, it stimulates collagen. OTC retinol won’t do much, you need to try Tretinoin. Drink lots of water, cut down on carb, sweets etc if you eat them. If your diet is ok you don’t need supplements.
Try an LED mask, use it consistently. Use at leat 50 SPF.

I’m 38 and my diet is not great. Thank you I will look into these.

I stopped using tretinoin after a long while because of the risk of liver problems and I went back to using Vaseline over my usual skincare products and that’s been much better for me.

I also stopped having Botox which I had been having for over a decade but have now not had it for over a decade and I don’t look much different.

i use sun cream sparingly and not all over my face either.

I have also reduced the number of products that I use and don’t use different ones for eyes, just an exfoliator, day serum, moisturiser and night serum - https://www.drtatiana.co.uk/shop/

i also do peels at home from

i also have used their Luminosa cream to remove a couple of sun spots at the sides of my face and one on my hands.

I use very sparingly a sun cream from Gruum.
