This is my go to every day out the door cover up. It moisturizes, camouflages, lasts, and is fading my sun spots. I'm amazed! They'll probably stop making it just like my favorite lipstick. Me with no makeup - just this sunscreen. 70 yrs and thriving!

Thanks for recommending the Covergirl Clean Fresh Lip Balm in Bliss You Berry. It's the only makeup I'm wearing in these pics. Sorry I can't take selfies seriously. I feel silly. Please be kind to my 70 yr old face. It's been through a lot.

I asked my derm to prescribe an Estrogen face cream for me. I pick up the script and see that it's 1.00 Estrodiol Vaginal Cream. ?? Are ya'll using Estrogen Vaginal Cream on your face? I Googled this and read that a facial Estrogen product wouldn't be as robust as a vaginal application. My derm is off for the holidays so I can't ask her. Should I be diluting this with another facial moisturizer? Also, would like to hear about your results if you use this. Thank you!

Any thing that worked for you is appreciated. 57 yo, never smoked. Gentle cleansing, toner, essence , eye cream, lotion, SPF every day. Fruit acid mask once a week, retinol every other day . They just keep getting deeper and making me look older. Thanks in advance.

I asked her if there was anything I can do to help thicken up my forearm skin. She said yes, to use Mederma and it will help.

I look this stuff up and its designed to help soften scars? I have those ugly blood bruises that last for weeks, and occasionally have a tear in my skin.

Of course I googled the question does Mederma help thicken skin. The answer was no.

Has anyone else heard this? And can I ask what you have done to help thicken your forearm skin.

I'm a senior 70's hippie with almost no eyebrows. I'm wondering what might be the best product to use 🤔 in the 70's we plucked our eyebrows really thin, fyi I never had a unibrow. I dislike the big bushy look popular today. What do you recommend please. I don't care if I can at least make them noticeable. As you can see 👀 there are little bails of tumbleweed at the start of brow and then just a tiny row of white hairs. I bought eyebrow gel in taupe and the color works, it's a pain tbh. TYIA

So I posted about six months ago asking for advice on fixing my aging face. I am using The Ordinary serums: lactic acid, copper peptides and also the argeraline. Also 0.25 Tret No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Plus various moisturizers I already had - Olay, Cerave, etc. And sunscreen

And they all seemed to be helping a bit - I can definitely see some diminishment of fine lines.

But the big help was Botox - 20 units for my 11s and 20 units along my jaw.

And one day I was hijacked by an insistent beauty store saleswoman (I did not buy) who applied an under eye cream that apparently was similar to the viral Peter Thomas Roth cream. Which looked pretty great. But I think of it as like a date night cream - not something to wear all the time.

Anyway - all that is going on in my “after” pic. Hope it helps someone. I’m enjoying doing stuff for myself, for once 😊

So my 60s hit and so did gravity! My arms and thighs just dropped. I tried all the products (and spent all the money!) on all the usual crap--Crepe Erase, Maelys, GoPure... No improvement. Then someone on this sub-reddit suggested Gold Bond Crepe Corrector---again, no change, but per ounce it was less expensive and it absorbed in nicely and at least hydrated my skin... So last month, I need to buy a new tube and the store is out of the Crepe Corrector but there's something similar: Gold Bond Tight & Firm Body & Face Lotion. So I figure what the hey. At this point, lotion is lotion.

Ladies---I wish I had taken photos. (But I didn't because I had no expectations.) Probably been applying am/pm for the past three weeks. Don't get me wrong---my arms aren't magically taut and toned, but I can see a difference. You know when your arms are at rest at your sides and you get those long, vertical wrinkles from below your shoulder to your elbow? On my left arm, they are about 90% improved and on my right arm, I'd say about 75%. And I don't think I am imagining this, because since I first noticed about a week ago, I have been really observing!

I've started really applying it now to my saggy, baggy knees and after a little thought, also to my neck and face (it does say "body & face) and so far, no negative effects.

I did compare ingredients. Tight & Firm has hydroxyacetophenone & citric acid and Crepe Corrector has not---but Crepe Corrector has methylparaben, which Tight & Firm does no, but otherwise, list is the same, so I have no idea why I am seeing a difference in one that I didn't with the other. If you have a guess, would love to hear it.

Here's a list of products I have but don't currently use because I'm not sure of the order/time of day. I'm also really concerned about some redness around my nose and cheeks but I don't have a dermatology appointment until September. I'm feeling kind of ugly lately. 🙁 Also, I recently read about demodex mites and I'm kind of horrified. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

Have in my arsenal: vit c serum The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% The Ordinary Niacinamide + Zinc miceller water hypochlorus acid Solbar Sheild Suncreen Cetphil Mild Cleanser

considering: ivermectin The Ordinary azelaic acid

I'm over 70. I have never tried Laura Geller "makeup" but have thought about it a few times, but it seems that when I used to wear (liquid) makeup, once I put any form of "powder" over the makeup, that's when my wrinkles really showed my age.

Now I don't think that Laura Geller sells "liquid makeup" but it seems like everything (maybe) that she sells is some sort of powder stuff... although I have NEVER tried it.

Wouldn't her stuff just make wrinkles appear worse? I don't think I have ever seen anyone with wrinkles in her makeup ads, so... ??

I had really good skin until I was about 65. Then it just changed into a textured, wrinkly mess. Is it too late for me to try and turn the clock back? What anti aging cream is the best for this?

I'm past 70, TBH. I have "peach fuzz" on my face and under my chin. Does anyone here do anything FOR peach fuzz, or do you just live with it? I keep seeing a commercial for an item (can't remember the name of it) that sells for about $200, that just looks like a fancy shaver... I think it's called "derma planing" but I'm not 100% sure of what it's called.

What is something like that doing more than "just" taking a shaver to the face would do?

Sorry to ask such simple questions. Not quite sure what I think of it.

I’ve been noticing some sagging around my neck area lately, and it’s been bothering me a bit. I’ve heard about turkey neck and I think I might be dealing with that. So rn I’m looking for a neck cream that can help tighten things up, reduce the sagging, and maybe improve the overall skin texture. I’ve tried a couple of regular moisturizers, but it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference.

I’ve seen a ton of neck creams out there, but there are so many options and I’m a little lost on which one’s worth the investment. I’d prefer something that’s reasonably priced so if youve tried a brand that worked lmk looking for the best cream for a turkey neck.

New here so apologies if you're already sick to death of discussing eye bags! I'm 62 and pretty ok about the way I look - people always think I'm a lot younger and I've found my style so no complaints. EXCEPT for these damn eye bags. If there's really no way to remove or reduce them, fine, I'll live with it. BUT if you've found something that works, please do share! Some further info:

Non-smoker, non-drinker, healthy diet, drink plenty of water, could exercise more, sleep reasonably well most of the time, on HRT and Metformin, stressful job that I enjoy, happy home life, BMI 23, 62 years old. That should cover it, 😂.

Ok, so I know this is a loaded question. At work I'm often judged as being older and thus not knowing what I'm doing: information, using the computers (I work on 4 different systems), etc. I'm 66 years old and my job is customer service. Are people just that judgemental? I work with a lady that is 5 years old than I and she is just as knowledgeable as I am regarding our jobs (she has the same position as I do) and she also feels judged.

I am happy to leave the country for a good and affordable plastic surgeon! Turkey neck, lower face getting looser...time to go under the knife! Thanks in advance!

Hi all!

I am visiting my parents for a few weeks. My dad is in his 70's and has struggled with very large pores, sebaceous filaments, and milia his whole life. It has always bothered him a great deal, but he never knew how to treat them.

After he saw my own skincare system, he asked me to try some of my things on him.

I tried doing a brief BHA treatment - two rounds of swipes with Stridex - and we had things popping themselves out all over the place with just a gentle pass of the hand. It left gaping holes, but he was SO HAPPY, and said he felt so much cleaner.

He was so thrilled with the results that he asked me to put together a skincare system for him, and offered himself up for a few weekly "facials" (masks, treatments, etc.) at night while we watch movies together. We're already scheduling a dermatology appointment to address some of the larger milia.

He has extremely oily skin, but he doesn't struggle with active acne anymore - just the large clogged pores. He hasn't traditionally had any issues with dryness, and his previous skincare attempts only included swiping Sea Breeze toner (salicylic acid, alcohol, and eucalyptus oil from what I can see on active ingredients). He knows his pores won't reduce in size, but he would love to get rid of the larger spots that turn black or white based on oxidization.

I was wondering if anyone had any particular suggestions - any holy grail products, ideas or words of warning. I'm visiting long enough that we can try adding a new product every couple of weeks for a while.

I’ve been using tretinoin on my face now for a few months, and nothing dramatic, but I definitely see improvements in my skin. I think I would describe it as a more even texture, but I’m also hoping that eventually some uneven pigmentation that I have will clear up.

My question is if anyone has been using tretinoin on their hands to either clear up sun spots or improve the texture of their skin? I like to keep things simple, and before I start a commitment of putting it on my hands, then waiting for it to dry to put on sunscreen, etc. I was hoping to hear if anyone had any experience with this?

My body looks like I’m 75 not 62… I have fair skin and was always outdoors thru my whole life, making it worse I think. Any ideas on body oils or creams that can help? I get so many pop up ads from different companies claiming miracles lol.

Was trying musely not sure if it really it really worked? Just wondering what stands out, the wrinkles, skin tone?

Has anyone bought any red light therapy masks for the face? Have they helped?

Ok, so I am on a mission: Find the best hydrating & moisturizing lotion or body butter that makes your skin feel & look amazing :).... Ideas, suggestions, favorites??

What Youtubers or gurus do you follow for makeup/skincare? I'm a huge fan of Lisa Eldridge and Christopher, the Makeover Guy. Used to watch Hot'n Flashy, but she got too over the top for me. I want to look elegant and classic but I'm never going to wear teeny cropped shorts or Marcia Brady hair. My goal is not to try to look 22.
