What brand of skin care product/products has worked the most for your skin?

Re: Skin Care That Works

SKINN!!! Basically anything from this line goes above and beyond, but I have gotten amazing results with the Collagenesis products, in particular. I highly recommend SKINN!

I have been using Estee Lauder for many years and have not had any problems.

I have tried many skin care lines over the years (Clarins-broke out so badly, Aveda-broke out badly, Dior-broke out badly, Clinique-not many problems with this line, Bobby Brown-broke out badly-eye cream is fabulous)

It is a hit or miss for most everyone. I use EL for moisture creams, Clinique for eye creams, MAC loose mineral powder for foundation.

A mixture of NCN & Paula's Choice

NCN: Vit C+ and Matrixyl Accelerator & Copper Peptides

PC: 2% BHA gel, 4% BHA foam, 9% BHA, Resist Ultra-light Super Antioxidant Serum, tinted moisturizer spf 30

Right now I'm using Bliss cleanser & toner and Boscia Exfoliating Powder with Boscia Light Oil

I also like Clinique cleansers & moisturizers and Korres Pomegranate Toner

I have combo/oily skin and I'm 63.

I see you got the matrixyl. How do you like it on your body?

ITA with Irishrose, NCN and PC with the addition of Boscia cleansing oil.

Paula's choice - my skin is vastly improved and I feel that every product I have purchased so far has been very effective. I now have make up optional skin and I just didn't think it would ever be possible.

I'm starting to see an improvement on my arms and hands. I just got the Retinol for the Body (PC) a few days ago. It absorbs well. The scent isn't great, but not offensive either. I end with Korres lemon & sage body butter.

I had the matrixyl accel. for my face and I started to put it on my arms about 2 weeks ago. I emailed ncn and Nanci responded in person (I' impressed) and rec. the matrixyl accel over the new re-formulated matrixyl. She said I could use either, but matrixyl accel had other good ingredients for dry skin.

So my routine now is: 2% BHA gel; Matrixyl Accelerator; Retinol for Body; Kores BB.

ETA: Sometimes I also use some copper.

That's because BC has been one of my mentors. Where she goes, I followeth

Retin-A

Re: Skin Care That Works

JeanLouiseFinch — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 12:49:46 GMT

I don't use a single skincare line, but have cherry picked my own products after doing my own research and experimenting. The following products are what I use and am happy with.

Dr. Young's Camellia Deep Cleansing Oil
Fleur De Lis Rice & Papaya Enzyme Powder
Thayer's Witch Hazel & Aloe Vera Toner
Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum
Alpha Hydrox AHA 10% treatment or 12% Souffle
Prescription Retin-A
I recently began using a Foreo Luna cleansing tool, too, and believe the extended cleansing massage has helped with more thorough cleaning of my skin, lymphatic drainage, and also helps treatment products to penetrate deeper.

Paula's Choice - my skin hasn't looked this good in years. I've only been using this line for a few months and don't ever plan on switching to another brand.

Skinn products for me most of the time. The Collagenesis line has been great!

I just switched to ASDM products about 2 1/2 months ago and I am seeing great results along with retin-a, benoquin and ASDM sunscreen mixed with JM sunscreen. In April I could not leave the house without a full face of mu and a lot of concealer. By June I could go out with just sunscreen. Although I still put a tiny bit on because after all these years I feel naked without mu. I just found a body lotion that takes away the crepeness to my skin which I am loving, ASDM Age Defying Massage Lotion with rose hip, castor oil, grape seed oil and aloe.

I know some folks don't care for her but I like Kate Somerville products. I don't use them exclusively but I do use them about 85% of the time. My skin is softer and brighter looking when I use KS. I do use some organic products from time to time. I like Suzanne Somers organic line and some products from Marie Veronique. But Kate Somerville is my basic.

I am a big believer in professional facials too. I try to go about every 6 or 8 weeks and I think those deep cleanings and exfoliation done professionally really help. I don't plan on ever doing injectibles and I have some lines under my eyes, but so be it. All in all, I think my skin looks better now than it did ten years ago.

Overall, Paula's Choice. It pretty much defines what I consider good skin care. I do, however, supplement it with a couple NCN serums and Juice Beauty Cleansing Milk.

M. Asam VINO Gold line (sold at HSN). It has done more for my 61 year old dry skin, than any other line I've tried, including Isomers, which at one time was my holy grail.
