    I am 51 years of age and much like my late mother and 93 year old grandmother I have been using Pond's cold cream for many years it's very cheap yet luxurious for the skin and trust me I have no wrinkles at my age and it takes off makeup amazingly! Anyway I subscribed and I feel your page is amazing❤

    I have great luck with lots of your drugstore options. I'm still using the Vanicream Vitamin C you recommended. Ignore all the Negative Nancy comments. You do a great job!

    I really appreciate your advice and have actually taken some of it!😊. What I would really like to know is about eye lids. I have droopy and crinkly lids. What can I use which will help lift and smooth. A video on this would be greatly appreciated as I know I’m not the only one with this problem. Thanks for all the great work you do.❤

    Way back when I first started getting serious about skincare I used MD Forte because they had step-up products too. I had to stop at level 3 though because it was the highest level and it was too strong for my skin. I wish there were other, more affordable brands that do that. I would try the one you recommend but my medical bills have to take priority for the next several months. Thanks for sharing!!

    I have been using my 0.05% tretinoin under my eyes and it seems fine. To make sure it doesn't get into my eyes I take a cotton swab tip with a little vaseline on it and swipe just under the bottom lashes making sure I go up to sides also.

      I used the Cerave hydrating cleanser but wasn't impressed. Didn't remove sunscreen as good as other cleansers, and strangely, I found it to be somewhat drying. I like the LaRoche Posay hydrating cleanser--it cleans better and is more hydrating at the same time.

      In your case, since you already are watching several derms talking about this, you kinda should be an expert on the subject. At 51, I already know about it, and what to do. I’m not hear for that crap and seriously, how many videos do you actually need shoved down your throat that you need sunscreen, two fingers worth, a hat and protective clothing??? I literally summed it up for you…. Stop being a negative ass.
