I have been using Josie Maran's Milk for years and just heard it will no longer be produced.  I have a sample of Beekman 1802 Milk Serum that I tried and it seems to make my skin tight after I use it.  Is that normal?  Not sure I like it so would be open to any and all suggestions.  Normal skin type.......not expecting to look 20 years younger.........I guess average senior skin that I try to take care with.

@deeW   Hi. I've never used Josie's milk, so not sure what it did or what type of serum. There are ones wit Vit.Cnfor brightness, hyaluronic for moisture, etc.

@deeW - there are many kinds of serums out there with different actives and textures.  What do you want it to do - firm, brighten, moisturize?

I've been using CeraVe hydrating hyalauronic acid facial serum for several months and already noticed my skin is definitely more hydrated and just looks better!! It's not expensive either!!

Re: Need serum help......

[ Edited ]

This chart might help you decide what kind of serum to get. There are basically six types of serums and each one will address the issues listed here. This is a generic chart, no brands mentioned so you'll need to do your own search for one that suits your needs.

Sorry to be so late getting back.......had to leave town for a few days for a family thing.  I appreciate all the information.  Unfortunately the chart that was mentioned is no longer there.........apparently QVC took it away?  After using the serum I was questioning a few more days I've decided that even itf it's not normal, the issue of it tightening like a harsh soap is not for me so I will continue on my journey.
