I alternate between La Mer and Guerlain. Works well for my sensitive skin.
I have been using Origins for 20 years and they are changing a lot (products, prices and company). It sucks as my skin is my most complimented feature. However, in all reality, that is probably due to my Grandma more than Origins. :biggrin: I use Lamer sparingly and really like it. So I am going to try Guerlain. I just ordered the eye R renewal. Hope to transition into Guerlain and Lamer exclusively. I don't think Origins will be around many more years.
 
I only have one Holy Grail item. Origins Dr Weil Mega Bright Dark Spot correcting Serum. I have 4 small sun spots on my chest. This product worked quickly. 2 spots were about 75% gone and the other 2 diminished by about 50%. They stayed like that for 4 years then the color in them returned. I started the serum again. And it is working again. This product worked so quickly that I saw results with the sample I got a Sephora.

It would be such a shame! Loving their Ginzing hydrating energy cream!
 
I searched and didn't see a thread talking about great topical products for the over 40 contingent!

I feel like I've tried everything but I am currently happy with Barbara Sturm, MBR, and Biologique Recherche.

My true Holy Grail product: Biologique Rechereche Lotion P50 1970....literally everyone should use this, I haven't had a breakout pimple since I started using the P50 1970. google it for yourself, the cult following to this stuff is real!View attachment 5766276

what's your HG?
how often do you use this and is that what it is mainly for? i used a few of their products about 5-10 years ago through a facialist and i think this was one of them. thanks.

Hi, I use it as my toner AM and PM after cleansing. I just put it on a cotton ball and then rub all over my face multiple times

After much due diligence on this subject, started with Calecim Professional facial serum once a day after 2-3 minutes of using GloPRO microneedling device on my face and neck

Calecim Professional had the highest ratings for the correct listing of ingredients, etc and feedback has been incredibly positive

Will start the Calecim firming cream to use post serum this month too - they have a great replenish program depending on how much product is required

Also, am not affiliated with the company in any way, and skin reacts differently to various products - am simply passing on feedback

Just starting with this serum as well from positive reports & using it in conjunction with my skincare
routine for extra hydration & healing properties..
 
My skincare routine is working well at the moment, but these in particular stand out as HG's:

- Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
- Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner
- Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair
- Olay Pro-Retinol Eye Wrinkle Cream Treatment
- Hamilton SPF 50+ Everyday Face Cream
- Dr Dennis Gross SpectraLite FaceWare Pro LED Face Mask
 
Live this thread for new options. I love Skinceuticals CE ferulic for the morning. Also been trying different retinols. Using Obagi tretinoin right now. Chantecaille Bio Lifting mask is a great overnight mask. Natura Bisse’s Diamond Extreme peel-off mask is amazing. Augustinus Bader Rich Cream moisturizer is also great! I don’t have a crazy routine, and I try a lot of new products.

I am 43 and still struggling with acne since puberty. Things worked for a while but then stopped. Several rounds of antibiotics, even accutane, countless other things later, my skin really loves Paula's Choice bha liquid exfoliant.
