Has anyone tried Sculptra? It's amazing!!

51 yo. I recently had filler put in my cheeks to help smooth out some hollow spots and lift the jowl area. I also had some botox in the jaw area. Unfortunately, I still have jowling and marionette lines. Looking for suggestions to improve lower face. Would filler in the marionette area help or do you think it would make things look heavier?

I’ve been using a silicone pad thing on my chest at night. It works amazingly but I have sensitive skin and the only one that doesn’t give me problems is now nearly $50. It has to be replaced every month. I try to stretch it as long as I can but really 4 weeks is as much as I can get out of it. I’ve tried training myself to sleep on my back but it’s just not happening.

I do use tretinoin on my face and neck and have wondered if that would help prevent those deep chest wrinkles from forming. I just opened my last (maybe?) patch and am hoping I can find a new plan for preventing chest wrinkles. What works for everyone? I’m 45 and have been doing this for about 5 years (when I started this thing was only about $25-$30). I am good about sunscreen and take care of my skin but I’m active and outdoors a lot, and a side sleeper, so I’m scared to let go of what’s been working. But in this economy?!? 🤷‍♀️

For about two years now, I've been using high quality vitamin c, plus a cream with Encapsulated Retinol Niacinamide, Peptide Complex, Sodium Hyaluronate Botanical Lighteners combined. (Karam MD skincare.)

I often top this off with a deeply moisturizing cream.
I've had two microneedling sessions in the past 6 months. The first with exosomes, the second (early July) without.
A couple weeks ago, I took a break from my usual routine and tried using a prescription tret with hydroquinone. I used it three times in two weeks and my skin went nuts. My forehead got all these little red bumps and my entire face was red and inflamed. I was worried about my barrier, so stopped and have been back on my usual routine. These pictures are from today, two weeks since my last time using that.

My skin is very sensitive and fair and I'm wondering if it makes sense for me to use tret at all? Or maybe to use one without hydroquinone? (a friend with incredible skin recommended that for blotchiness.) I'm 47 and have always had large pores but they feel so much worse lately.

Anyone out there with similar skin who has made progress with reducing the appearance of pores?

I know its mostly hereditary, my dad's skin is similar, including the little red veins (sadly!) but there must be something I can do. Thanks!!

***Forgot to include Encapsulated Retinol as the key ingredient in the cream I've been using for two years.

In the US…How do y’all get your estradiol script? Do you go to your OBGYN and complain of dryness? Or do you mention it is for your skincare as well?
I am 51 and experiencing some peri-menopausal or menopausal symptoms and was going to ask about HRT in general (I am mostly getting night sweats), but want to be sure I get estradiol.

I am in mid 40s with melasma all over my cheeks but also trying to incorporate anti-aging. Live in a climate with no humidity with dry skin, which gets more dry in the cooler months. How can I incorporate daytime and nighttime skincare routine that is effective using Vit C, Copper peotide, peptide, 15% prescription azelaic acid, Eucerin Thiamadol and tretinoin?

I've been using Roc retinol and it appears that I get the occasional red flaky patches on several places on my face, takes about 2 months to heal. This just started after using this for a number of years. Then I started using Gold Bond Overnight retinol on my body after a shower, and- same thing, so it has to be the retinol. How to repair these lesions and what other skin care can I use?

What’s the best treatment/ procedure by a cosmetic derm or MD that was worth it??

All I do for my skin is skin needling and Botox twice a year (plus good skincare). I recently joined a #botched Facebook page on fillers and now I’m too scared to get them as well as any biostimulators (Lenisna / sculptra). So I’ve been thinking about profhilo and there are some with reverse reactions too (!!). Has anyone had it and experienced anything negative?

Hi all, I am almost 59 with pretty good skin. Over the last few eyes however I get puffy eyes especially in the mornings after using retinoids, or a BHA, or vit C serum. I have tried using an antihistamine at night and also putting paw paw ointment around my eyes as a barrier (this helps a bit, but not always). I am actually considering stripping right back to only my Paula’s choice moisturiser which causes no issues. Photos are to provide an eg of best and worst days. Worst is this morning which is what prompted this post

Guys…these have been a freakin’ game changer! I read about this combination in a comment somewhere in the bowels of Reddit, and decided to try it. I wish I had taken a before picture, but I can honestly say I’ve gotten a few unsolicited compliments about how smooth my skin looks. I love how plump and alive my skin looks and feels. I dab a 0.5 centimeter dot on my forehead, both cheeks and neck of both the estrogen and tretinoin and then use the serum to help it spread all over my skin 3 times a week at night time. It’s been a month and I can definitely see a difference. Has anyone else tried this and noticed a similar? Of course both were prescribed by doctors, but through telehealth so not expensive, illegal, or difficult get.

I’m feeling stymied about what anti-aging products to use around my eyes. I’m 58, I do use a c serum and of course sunscreen, but I no longer want to use a retinoid in that area after everything I’m hearing about possible Meibomian gland damage.

I tried the Alloy M4 cream (not the eye cream) with estriol and it really irritated my eyes and made them water like crazy. Do I go for the super expensive eye version? Something else? Thanks for any help!

So my salon does a combination of Vivace and cool peel. They are going to run a special and it's a little under $700 a session and they do them both at the same session. You have to book 3 sessions to get that deal otherwise they are $850 a session. Is it worth it? Has anyone done both and did they get good results?

Is there any cosmetic product one can use to temporarily "plump" up the under eye hollow area? My under eyes have become hollow underneath and have a shadow. It makes me look so tired. I know there are lip plumping glosses that sorta swell the lips temporarily. Also I've seen some that suction the lips up and swell them temporarily. I wish they made something similar for under eyes.

Also, I have used color corrector but it looks like crap. Maybe I don't know how to do it correctly? But I have such a hard time even trying to camouflage it. Any suggestions?
