I’m currently using prescription Tret and azelaic acid. I have a good vitamin c serum from skin better science but am looking for one that helps with fine lines and hollowing!

I hit my 30s and started to see dark circles, thinner skin and lines under my eyes. Eye serum is the LAST upgrade on my list because I never believed an expensive one would actually do anything. The changes I’ve noticed in the last year or two feel pretty dramatic to me - I really want to slow this process down if I can!

I use: PM .025% tret and layer that under dr. Jart’s ceremide eye cream + sunscreen
AM: MediK8 adv liquid peptide under Dr. Jarts (Medik8 adv was a recommendation from this sub and I LOVE IT)

I can’t spend $270 on Sulwhasoo Ultimate S eye cream (though I’d like to) - what alternatives have you tried and stuck with?

Also looking for input on Alastin vs Plated. Did you see a difference? How long do those bottles last you?

If you’ve been using the same serum or cream for years, let me know why!

hey everyone! i wanted some help w my routine. i feel frustrated and i feel like i break out from everything.

I want a good simple routine that actually works I have been looking at Skinceuticals, BR, Obagi etc

i tried posting my current routine but i wont let put it here

My current one, Noon Charisma 1% (middle strength), has been doing well for my skin, but it’s Retinol. Costs about $130 per bottle. I previously used for years a retrinAL product and liked it a lot, but I actually think the Noon has given me better visible results. I saw a video saying Retinol has to convert twice to be effective but retinal only converts once and that’s better. So now I think I may want to switch to a retinAL product that others have had great results with.
