I agree with Skylands. There's nothing that will firm your skin.

Thank U! Women believe the beauty industry and the smoke & mirrors they pitch.

Ok so here is the deal. I agree with this most of the time. Yes the beauty industry does tell us about all of the problems we have so they can sell us more. I know this, BUT, I also know that in the past, I have used Mary Kay, Arbonne and other moisturizers and skin care products and they have decreased my fine lines as well as tightened things up. I am not using anything now and can tell a huge difference! It's been a long time since I have researched products so I figured the that surely the science is better now and I want to try something new for my skin which is better than what I am doing now - nothing. I appreciate all of the replies and will check out those products. What is confusing to me is that some people swear by DMAE and others say it is bad. So, I have no clue.

Get a consult with a reputable plastic surgeon or derm. That's the only way you'll find a treatment, (surgery or fillers) that will work.

I have used Botox and that did work but I don't have 1200.00 for it anymore.

Retin A does not firm. It clears pores by shedding the top layer of your skin.

I have no recommendations other than what I've already suggested. That's what I do. Visit and take advise from professionals who know about skin care. We all have different skin and skin problems. Good luck

If I had thousands of dollars to spend, I would. I do not have that kind of money though. I'll be careful.

I haven't had it done but would like to. Do plastic surgeons have payment plans?

This is my understanding of how anti-aging skin care works. Imagine the wrinkles as valleys in a vertical cross section of your skin. Good anti-aging products some how puff up the valleys and make them almost level with the topmost layers. This same principle reduces crepiness and crows feet around the eyes. No, the skin isn't firmer but you do look smoother. Will this erase deep wrinkles? No way, but they will appear softened. Personally I use Philosophy Miracle Worker Moisturizer, Ole Henrikson's Truth Serum, and Dr. Denese Extreme Pro Peptide Gel, along with a retinol of some sort at night. Right now I'm experimenting with Paula's Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment with good results. You just have to experiment and see what works for you.

I'm not saying either of these work, but Serious Skincare on HSN has 2 lines that get really great reviews, Reverse lift (purple bottles) and Vitamin C (orange bottles). Both lines have various kits that aren't super costly that you might want to look in to. A derm would definitely be able to recommend something specific for your needs for your specific skin type.
