Cheap Stuff that really works for my skin

I have gone through a ton of products and theories as far as anti-aging and the dreaded wrinkles that come with aging. There are such a multitude of anti-aging creams on the market - firming, reducing, night, day, two step - it’s so confusing that you’d give yourself more wrinkles just trying to work out what would be suitable.

I've just started taking COq10 ($30 at Trader Joes for 80)...I hear it's great for your skin and overall health.

Wrinkle cream: get the Kirkland brand at Costco...borghese makes it.  top notch stuff

antiaging skin care: get your doctor to prescribe retin-A.  Retinol works on facial lines

moisturizer - all the docs say cetaphil is gentle and universally good, face and body.  my sister swears by kiss my face too.

SPF - get the dermalogica spf 30 booster and add it to your moisturizer

vitamins - like tonya55 says, i get it at trader joes,  EFA (essential fatty acid) capsules and the COq10 pills

prevage eye treatment is my nightly eye care product.  Too early to tell if it "works".  I blogged about antiaging eye creams not too long ago.  What are you using?

I would love to agree about chestsavers, but, sadly, my experience with "the company" has been horrible. I paid for several items (well over $100) and have received nothing. The company doesn't respond nor do they have a phone number that I can find (actually, I have found phone numbers, but they are all disconnected...i wonder why they don't want anybody calling them?). It's terrible! I have never been so frustrated. I just hope others who read this will be very careful; I have started a dispute with Paypal, but I doubt I will see my money again!

Nivea. I use it all over my face and body. I use the heavy creme that comes in the big blue jar, the lotions don't work as well. I live in Scottsdale, AZ so I understand how dry skin can get. I am 46 and my skin is in great shape and as long as I use it daily, it keeps me plumped out -- aka - no wrinkles!

I have to say I was very surprised with the results from Revitalift for the eyes from L'oreal. It really works and I look more "rested". Also, Neutrogena's extra gentle cleanser is very good and both of those products don't cost more than $20 each. As for anti-wrinkle, they are worth a splurge.... I like Prevage, wich I alternate weekly with a prescription Retin-A

I use revitalift daily as a sunscreen becs it has meroxyl. Bottle is deceptive in what it holds and dispensing is slow, but it seemed to work great in my recent trip to asia (tons of sun!) Ambi spot cream is my latest cheap skin care find. $5 and it works!
