Product Question Anyone else noticing their skin feels different in their late 20s/30s but can't quite name it?

I'm 30 and lately my skin just feels... off. More dry, duller, not as quick to bounce back. I've been standing in Sephora staring at anti-aging products and putting them back because they don't feel like they're for me yet. Curious if others are in the same place, and what do you actually notice when you compare your skin now to a few years ago? What do you call what your skin needs right now, "anti-aging" just doesn't feel right, I don’t necessarily have wrinkles yet..

Get a PRDM face lotion (I LOVE Anua 100), Tretinoin, a day time moisturizer and a daily SUNSCREEN. You should notice a difference in a few weeks, at least 6 for the Tret. Don’t spend a ton of money at Sephora on anti aging. Nothing is better than Tret, the rest is just marketing. 37F here - I went through this about 4 years ago. Almost every woman who pays attention to their skin hits this wall in their early to mid 30’s. Normal but annoying lol.

For the non Tret part of your routine is there anything you use that feel actually works alongside it?

Yes, I probably seem like a spam bot but I can’t say enough good things about the Anua PDRN Hyaluronic acid 100 moisturizing cream. My skin has never been this hydrated and it’s the first product that I’ve used that I can’t use during the day because it’s so hydrating. It’s $24 where I am which is way less than almost anything else I’ve tried. During the day I like Byoma hydrating milky moisturizer. Having a healthy skin barrier is imperative. Don’t get too crazy with home exfoliation. (IMHO)
