@SurferWife - I think there are so many good products out there that aren't expensive - Timeless, Naturium, etc., that I feel anyway, we now have more choices.  There are some things I'm not ready to give up but as time goes on, I'm sure I will make some more changes.

I'm with you!  Although I don't use Skinn, I do use a handful of Peter Thomas Roth products.  I really do love them, but these days, with the state of the economy, I'm seriously thinking of replacing them with less expensive products.  I'm glad that I have found Naturium because it does NOT disappoint.  I don't want to "settle" for less expensive skincare if it isn't efficacious.  I'm getting ready to start using my Naturium peptide products, so I really do hope I love it as much as PTR.


I'm trending in the Naturium direction myself, for a few things.  I'm looking forward to your reviews.  I'm a fan of the Mad Hippie Eye Cream - have tried others and always go back. I'd like to find something that's effective and more budget friendly, so if the Naturium passes muster it would be a big win.

And that's funny; I didn't care for the Mad Hippie eye cream.

I've tried peptides and saw no noticeable benefits. Matrixyl is SO overrated. I find it useless. And the other popular one I can't recall. I'm onto ceramides. Now you're talking. I SEE something. Mainly smoothness. Where'd the pores go? Who cares. It's Isomers and I really like it.

 

Agree about Mad Hippie eye cream-I didn't like it.

Hi Judaline, which Isomer product do you use - is it the Ceramide Pro Lipid Support Skincare cream?

Yes, I use several peptide products and they mix well with retinol.

 

I use Paula's Choice Peptide serum morning and night.  I use Peter Thomas Roth's Peptide 21 moisturizer and matching eye cream in the morning, although they are well suited for nighttime use as well.  I just happen to use another line-up at night.

 

I just received Naturium's Peptide moisturizer & eye cream, but haven't started using it yet.  I'm hoping to love it as much as Peter Thomas Roth Peptide 21, as it will save me some money.

 

Peter Thomas Roth's Peptide 21 moisturizer & eye cream work WONDERFULLY under make-up, which is why I love it so much.  I'll let you know if the Naturium exceeds my expectations!


Me too, I love PTR's Peptide 21 SurferWife!!! I don't see it talked about a lot and fear it will be discontinued. It's really not that pricey when you look at the price per ounce, it comes in such a large bottle (3.4 0z) whereas most facial treatments come in 1 oz bottles. But it's not inexpensive for sure. I have 3 in my stash. I bought 2 bottles at costco (@$54.00 a bottle, wow) and I found one bottle recently at TJ Maxx for $34.00. Score!

@GingerHead 

I think you are talking about something different.  The Peptide 21 moisturizer I use comes in a jar. It's 1.7 oz/$95.  To me, that's pricy.

 

The matching eye cream is 0.5 oz/$75.

I'm talking about the one in the pump bottle 

Peter Thomas Roth Peptide 21 Elastic Moisture Emulsion it's 3.4 oz (I don't know how to include pictures) . So per oz not as bad as some stuff. I only buy when on sale.
