Has anyone tried the 2% retinol cream? I'm thinking of using it for the wrinkly backs of my hands.

I definitely want to try the microderm cream and the marine firming complex cream.

SS, please let me know if you try the marine complex. I was thinking that maybe a gel product wouldn't bother my face as much as a cream does. TIA. Also, the CoQ10 has retinol in it as well if you want to try a multi tasker.

Hi, Katluvr, long time no see! Thank you for the tip about the CoQ10 cream, didn't realize it had retinol in it. I'll go check it out.

You know, it doesn't surprise me that the creams didn't work out on your face since you said you had an oily T-zone. I do, too, and creams overwhelm my face so I use them up on my neck and chest, lol. But, the marine cream is supposed to be more like a gel and not loaded with a bunch of ceramides/oils so I'm going to give it a whirl. I keep reading about how marine seaweed provides nourishment and moisture to the skin and I like that the marine cream also has hyaluronic acid, Matrixyl 3000, Vitamine E and aloe vera in it. And, it has a really short ingredient deck and isn't loaded with a bunch of useless ingredients that sound impressive but do absolutely nothing.

An estimated 700,000 people around the world, 400,000 of them children, have died so far due to the discontinuation of the USAID program.

I ordered 3 products that I have been eyeing for a while!I ordered the Pro Face Lifting Serum and The Anti aging Collagen serum and Q10 Cream. Can't wait to get them. I have been using the Hyularonic serum and the Caffeine eye cream and love both of them!

Hi SweetSusie, let me know how it goes. You are right I have an oily t-zone. Ironically the TTO really helps with that. Those cream had me breaking out and getting red bumps for months before it finally dawned on me what was causing it. I can use the PTR gels but I just can't use cream unless it is pin sized amounts spread out. I use some on my chin and upper lip where I am showing aging. I would love the oxygen serum but I am leary. Vitiligo is a lack of oxygen to the skin (they think) and I worry about how adding oxygen would affect me. With my luck I would get pigmented spots back on my face and right now I am spot free.

What is the TTO? Tea tree oil?

Still haven't placed my order. Lately I have been having issues with breakouts so I went back to the Mary Kay Clear Proof line to try to help with that. I have been using the MK 2% salicylic acid gel which has been helping. Waiting for the full kit to arrive. The fine lines on my forehead and around my eyes are bothering me. Just not sure what to order. Any suggestions?

Yes it's Tea Tree oil. I love this for breakouts. I can dab a little on at night and the pimple will be almost gone the next day.

I totally agree. I love TTO!!! I also dab my nose with it and I have smaller pores. I don't know how an oil does that but it does. I always put a dab on my spots where I am prone to breakouts and I don't get any. If I get a large red spot I put a Missha blemish patch on it and by morning the oil has been removed and you can see it on the patch. Then I dab TTO to heal it. Neem oil is similar but smells like garlic. I use that on burns and cuts. Your burn doesn't blister or scar with it.
