I have often wondered about encourging women in their 30's and beyond to use these products.  What are the long-lasting cumulative effects, the truth being they really do not know.   What will  one look like when they reach their 60's and beyond.  Some of the persons touting these products have had surgical procedures; the face looks great, the neck tells the story.

I believe that good Anti Aging skin care, as well as sun preventative care do have long lasting cumulative effects. Be sure to use them on your neck and upper chest too.

The neck and the hands do not lie. There is value in taking care of facial skin but no one in their 60s and beyond is going to look like they're in their 40s or even 50s without professional work.

It depends if you used good skin care and spf through the years. Your neck and hands will be the same as your face then. If you didn’t you might be able to turn it around some with neck and hand creams but it takes time if you didn’t any pay attention to those areas all along. 🤗

The only product that has ever been labeled by the FDA as 'anti-aging' is the drug Retin-A. It's the one and only science-backed treatment for wrinkles and other age-related issues. All other creams and potions cannot do what it does and the FDA has your back on that one.

And the truth is no one knows how one will look in their 60's if they haven't used products.

I think if you like how a legal product feels on any part of your skin, and if a product is within your budget, then do what you want.

Well good skin runs in our family. I was using Isomers than stopped using it. All I was doing was washing my face for several years. Sometimes I would apply moisturizer. About 3 months ago I started using Dr. Gross peel pads since I have used them in the past so I know they don't bother my skin like a lot of those products do. I have been using it with moisturizer past 3 months.

Just saw my doctor plus had labs. The nurse asked me my name & DOB. After I told her the info she said was that 1968. I said no 1958 is correct. She said you don't look that age? I had a previous doctor leave the room to go get my chart when he already had it?

A lot of anti aging skin care either has the Retin A or Tretinoin in it without you needing to get a prescription from your Derm Dr for it. That Whish skin care brand that’s at the Q claims Bakuchiol oil (? Spelling) is the equivalent to Retin A, but time will tell on that anti aging skin care line.

I read an article that stated more women then ever are using SPF daily (year round) on their face, neck and hands. Times have changed and prevention is where it’s at now. Some are even wearing clothing and hats with sun protection built in.

Over 90% of photoaging is due to the harmful rays of the sun.

Retin-A (tretinoin) is a Rx drug and it cannot be included in OTC products. Perhaps it's retinol that is OTC, but not a Rx drug such as Retin-A.
