I really like the philosophy hope in a jar cream, but saw pretty good results with a teeny line on my forehead with the olay regenerist sculpting cream (maybe microsculpting cream?). It really got rid of a little line! I am 25
DreamingBeauty, do you know what's in those products that makes Rx necessary?
ambicion6, I don't know if I'm ready to go for botox! A friend of mine just finished med school and does her own botox . .. but she says it only lasts for three months before all the lines start showing again.
I have the same question as OP as well. I'm 22, but I'm already beginning to see smile lines and lines where I squint my eyes. I was looking into Olay Definity's Restorative Night Cream or the Intense Hydration Cream. Any reviews on these?? I have normal/combo skin and it errs to the oily side during the summer, but I like to have a really intense night cream.
The best is an Rx retinoid, like Retin-A, Tazorac, or Differin. They treat fine lines, dark spots, freckles, and acne. They all come in various strengths and have gel and cream forms. The only downside is that it can be irritating and make skin dry, but if you use it with moisturizer and start slow, like applying only every other or every third day and working up to everyday you should be fine.
I have tried them all, and I think the best is either the Differin or the Tazorac. Differin is milder so the results are a little less than with the Tazorac but it is a LOT less irritating so it's easier to stick with. But Tazorac is really good too, it does work better but you have to tolerate some peeling and dryness. I would suggest cream over gel for both, gel is really drying, especially the Tazorac one, although Tazorac gel does work well if you only use it in certain spots and not on the whole face.
