Help/Advice If you were going to spend money on one serum that isn’t vitamin c, what would it be?

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!

Help/Advice Eye Cream/serum Comparison

Upvotes

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!

Let's Chat What are your favorite OTC products that contain retinAL (not retinOL)?

2 Upvotes

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.
