If you sign up for the Elysee newsletter and emails, you will get fabulous deals. RIght now there is (I think) 55 percent off sitewide which brings the price down to HSN prices. I got a lot  ( a lot!!!!) on the last sale of 60 % off and it came in 4 days, perfectly packaged. The shipping was a lttle high but I did have a bid order. Love love love elysee.

if you don't want to go that route, I have been using LaRoche Posay - available at Ulta , CVS with some Isomers serums.

also - I got some Avene creams -especially like the mask which you can layer over with another night cream if you are super dry..available at Ulta.

THe laroche posay creams come in an airless pump, and are often buy one get one 40%off. no fragrance, very clean beauty. good to use with an isomer serums, which tend to be very strong for me in the single ingredient type ( but I am 70, with fragile aging skin)

I really do like laroche posay and avene. also check out the avene website.

oh and Dr Dray the derm on youtube likes avene and laroche posay.hth

good luck and those eelysee sale prices are awesome, and they run frequent whole site discounts.

My skin tends to be oily - and women in my family apparently age really well.  So - good genes get some credit.

I can get by with soap and water.

Some witch hazel.

Avon makeup.

And ..... I would not be without my Facial Flex!

Yes!  What @Shelbelle said!  I too buy my high end skin care on ebay.  I look for two things.  A long time seller with a LOT  of sales and their rating.  I like to stay in the 99.5% and greater range.  Something I've noticed tho.  Since Covid and quarantine eBay prices have gone up.  Apparently sellers are capitalizing on stores being closed and people not shopping brick and mortar.

@monicakm I can't speak to skincare or beauty prices on ebay, but I have purchased my art supplies from ebay for years at extremely low prices. After this pandemic began, the prices on ebay are higher than my local art supply store, ridiculously high.

I switched over to The Ordinary. The products are just as effective as the higher-end skincare I had used for several years. The Ordinary skincare is almost half the price of the high-end skincare I once used. I'm sticking with the brand, very impressed!
