I use Paula's Choice serums and her Retinol. Olay is another brand that has good ingredients -- Regenrist Advanced Anti-Aging and Alpha Skin Care Intensive Rejuvenating Serum. Go to Beautypedia.com for reviews of skin care/makeup products.

@105. Skinn has hydro vital serum for dry skin. Nice stuff but I like the age reset one better, also Skinn.

@105 I also have very dry skin especially in my cheeks. I use Ahava Extreme Night Treatment serum and have for many years. I also use Peter Thomas Roth Oilless Oil Squalane. I uses one one week and one the next because Ahava is quite expensive. I get total relief from dry skin from each product. Also,I should mention that I have post menopausal, sensitive skin.

Found out (from an aesthetician) that my "cystic acne" and cracks at the sides of mouth are actually due to yeast.

Lotrimin is taking care of it!

Now, I feel I can go on to address aging issues. 😎

My dental hygienist said the exact same thing about the cracks the quickly came at the sides of my mouth but all I had to do what quit using the new toothpaste I bought and it went away by itself.

You need to use products to boost hydrattion. Since you only asked for a serum I would suggest The Ordinary Hyaluronic 2%. Rosehip Seed Oil would be a good choice where you would get natures form of Vit. A & also C & E which won't dry you out at all. HTH. Until you can get your skin more balanced, I would stay clear of Retin A or straight up Vit C serum. JMO

Any moisturizer or serum that has Hyaluronic Acid will help with hydration. Also drinking plenty of water is another good source to hyrate the skin. Something that I also do is to start applying my serums while my face is still damp. Just as I do with my body creams.

Hyaluronic acid makes my skin dry out. I live in a very dry climate and the HA pulls moisture out of my skin rather than the air around it. I don't believe it's good to use if you are in a dry environment unless you want to carry a water-misting bottle around with you. It's fine if there is a small amount of it in a moisturizer but as a serum, it too drying on my skin.

It sure never did anything for me. Nor did Arginine (sp?) or Matrixyl. And they're supposed to be thee discoveries of the century!!! I'd say back to the drawing board but everybody's different.

@LTT1 and others...

I had cystic acne before I stopped eating food that contains added growth hormones. Added/artificial growth hormones can be found in most of the meat and dairy products produced in the U.S., so I buy stuff that is either labeled "organic" or is labeled as not containing added growth hormones. Now I only get acne cysts when I eat something from a restaurant or I buy something without thinking about the growth hormone problem.

Just something to consider for those with cystic acne.

@mistriTsquirrel

She asked me questions including about hormones! She wondered if they were "off" I guess. I wonder too.

Good idea about making sure to eliminate meats with hormones.

About toothpaste-- I'm allergic to fluoride also (?) eliminated it then started using it again and did break out worse around mouth.

Ready to go to the dermatologist or opthalmologist now b/c it has worsened.

@LTT1 There really are so many reasons why skin can break out, or be otherwise unhealthy. I have a suspicion that a lot of them have to do with how we live in the modern world. There are so many pollutants, irritants, allergens, etc. that weren't part of life 100 years ago. Even yeast can become a systemic problem when you eat the sort of high-sugar diet a lot of people eat. Then you add the stress of the modern world and it seems like a recipe for disaster for the body.
