Any strong effective high powered anti aging serums NOT filled with silicones?

On 10/18/2014 BellaCarro said: NCN's Matrixyl serum has zero 'cones. You can look it up on NCN.com. I use several of her products including this one and her C serum.

I was actually going to suggest this too, Bella. Great product!

As far as scarring goes, if it is true scarring, there isn't a topical product that can get rid of it unfortunately. If it just something like the darkness left over from old acne, a good vitamin C or a good fading product should help lighten them over time (won't usually happen quickly).

The olay product has at least a few silicones in it at the beginning of the ingredient list (if you already didn't know that). Is there a reason you are trying to avoid silicones or since you already are using things with silicones, you want to add other things without silicones?

Other ingredients to look for high in the deck are kojic acid, arbutin, licorice root, and mulberry. I can't remember if the the mulberry is extract of root, seed, plant....

If you do buy anything from NCN-use code Fall4562 for 10% off. And if you sign up for their newsletters, they sometimes send information about special sales & discounts not found on their website. I use their matrixyl serum too. Am planning to try the sampler size of their DNA serum & Multiactive Accelerator cream.

I'm working on sample sizes of both too, right now. Too soon to make an assessment but I do like both a lot so far, esp, the MA cream.

Bella can you post a review once you feel you've used both products long enough to make an assessment? TIA

For some reason I don't like the Isomers serums much. I've tried most of the above.
