Eye cream?

  • Eye cream?

    Ok, I am in desperate need of help. I didn't realize how dry and wrinkly my skin looks until this evening when I snapped a photo.

    I feel so OLD. Ugh. What do you use? Any drug store / moderately priced recommendations? Is it actually possible to help my skin look less weathered or am I kind of stuck with what I got? Help!

    Honestly - I've only had great luck with eye cream once. Others have been total flops for me.

    You have to get the Jan Marini (so?) bioglycolic cleanser. It is life changing. And I think available on amazon with prime shipping 😉. But really. So great!

    I also love the pca skin care max C&E serum. It's awesome.

    Jan Marini bioclear has also been great for me because I still break out a bit (yay! Licking me!).

    Those are my current favs. I also use dermatologica products - antioxidant hydramist, and dynamic skin recovery. And then another moisturizer I buy at Costco. It's popular - but I can't remember the name right now. I'll repost after I was my face tonight.

      When I lived in a super dry climate, I started using coconut oil heavy at night and a little in the am under my usual moisturizer. It is pretty humid where I live now so I cannot wear during the day anymore because it is now too oily. However, I found it helped my skin texture quite a bit when it was dry
      Finally - we are finished with training! Hello real world!!

        I like Roc 5in1 -- also pleased that Amazon brings it to my door.

          Basically I just need someone to be like, step 1 do this. Step 2, do this.

          And here is your Amazon shopping list.

          This is all I can handle. Take pity on me.

              We used to have one. I miss her here. But thankfully, can still hit her up through text on occasion.

                  Tell her to check back in and give us the details!! I need someone telling me about good products but not selling me the latest in "fair trade whale foreskin" or whatever...

                        I went to Target today and looked at all the eye creams. Somehow I wandered into the "natural" section. I got overwhelmed and walked out.

                        Sigh.

                        I did finally order the EltaMD sunscreen though! The current one I use (CVS knock off of Neutrogena) is pretty drying, so maybe the sunscreen will help a bit with the appearance of fine lines, too.

                          I'm starting to really notice them around my eyes too. 33 next week. I go to the Derm this week so I'm planning on asking then. I also have to start treatment for acne scarring at some point. Of all the scars childbearing has given me, they're the worst!

                            Eye cream?

                            I saw my derm a few months ago. She thinks I'm crazy looking for anti aging stuff (I'm 40). I'm getting some fine lines. So she gave me a script for retin A.
                            I use it 3x a week with a moisturizer. Also, sunscreen-obviously
                            Don't forget your neck and hands, too, when you use your moisturizers and sunblock. They're dead giveaways on your age!
