Need recommendations for skincare

paulaschioce.com

I just started using it after people raving about it here. They are very, very helpful. I just placed a second order for additional products in the line and their RESIST foundation and powder since I will be needing more soon. I'm really enjoying the products for my oily skin and already see a change in texture and appearance. There are always coupons for their products.

BetsyDoodle, I would steer you in the way of vitamin C (but an L-ascorbic, if your skin can handle that) and retinol. I think that's what happened to me some years back when I stopped using all those skincare lines, which just didn't cut it.

AHAs, as well.

These are collagen building, gently sloughing off the top layer, and about the best you can do to maintain elasticity.

Start with the vitamin C, which I feel is the most important because it is also a potent oxidant prohibiter.

I don't know if any product alone is going to perform miracles on your skin but you may want to try acure organics skincare. Go to their website & read the description, watch videos & read reviews. The Day & Night cream does slightly firm the skin & has cell turnover benefits. Burt's Bees also has some very good skincare products. Good luck.

Thanks for the responses! I have used retinol, but some irritate my skin, but I did find one that didn't. The retinol was encapsulated and so it didn't have the "hit" that others have that irritates. I might not have stuck with it long enough though. I have been interested in vitamin C because I have heard that it brightens your skin and is overall very good for it. Would you use vitamin C and retinol together? I have heard some use both. I know a lot of people rave about paula's choice here too. Will have to go to the website and check it out.

What about this kit??

I recommend Paula's Choice. Sorry I haven't tried Peter Thomas Roth so I don't know about the kit you pictured. Paula's Choice has excellent customer service and offer samples sizes. If you call or email them, they can guide you to the products that would benefit you the most.

So they can "customize" the skincare you get from them to address what is your specific issue? The sample sizes would be helpful so you wouldn't have a big size of something that you might not like.

Yes you can customize what you use. I am currently using products from the Resist and Moisture Boost line and plan on using the Skin Recovery Moisturizer when I finish my current one. The samples are wonderful. I have tried several to see what I like best before I order.
