Looking at lyma (£2k) and other devices that might help a nearly 56yr old with dry skin and linesbI would rather not see so much.
Also thinking about something to help for future.
Looked at led masks but can't use as had floater and retinal problems last year. All fine now but do not want to risk that returning.
Foreo bear looked great but have a few metal fillings so out again. Think there was another one but had same problem with metal fillings.
Then saw lyma and nira. Lyma gets mixed reviews. Some are amazing and I really want to beleive but wonder if all fake. Then nira but not sure I could deal with pain every day.
Does anyone have any experience on something that helps. Want truthful experiences not just the rosy side.

I'm 60 and look younger, but I struggle with the ageing process. I'm saving up to have Morpheus8, but it's costly. In the meantime, I use the Dermatica skin-care range (minus the tret, which I can't tolerate) and I have Profhilo a couple of times a year. Last time I had it, I didn't think it had done anything until a friend started raving about my smooth skin one day. The effect is subtle and improves over time so it's difficult to see the change yourself.

I've also just ordered some neck cream from Cellexia. I've never spent so much on a pot of cream before, so I hope it does something!

I have botox occasionally, with mixed results. I won't risk fillers.

Agree about Profhilo. I get comments on my skin when I have it. But you do need to keep having it!

Another vote for dermarolling/microneedling for fine lines.

I use a machine called Derminator (I know 😅), it does all the work for you, depth can be adjusted from 0.25 to 2.5mm, needles are removable and replaceable, you can clean them with alcohol. It takes a few minutes a month or less only, and it works. Costs £110, I have had mine for 7+ years.

The Trinny hand dermarollers are outrageously overpriced. £40+ for a single manual dermaroller, either 0.3 or 0.5mm. And you’re supposed to replace them regularly to avoid for the needles to become blunt and tear your skin.

And if anyone goes to France, a cream called A313 is on sale there without prescription and contains retinyl.

A313 is available on Amazon U.K.

A313 Vitamin A (Retinoids) Lightweight Face Cream for Anti-Aging, Reduce Wrinkles, Prevents Acne Breakouts, and Hyperpigmentation - Skincare for Smooth, Radiant Skin - 50g Cream : Amazon.co.uk: Beauty https://share.google/lgCsB13PPdHrLAnK0

This is the A313 cream. I bought a stack in France but this is the same. I use it at night over my skin and me tret.

Is it a good idea to use both? One or the other,surely?

I’m on the same prescription as you and my skin has never looked better. Congestion has improved and my crows feet are less prominent. I go through one tube every 2-3 months.

Any suggestions for a non- greasy, lightweight, factor 50spf? The skin+me one is nice, but expensive for such a small tube.
