I have enlarged pores, deep glabellar lines, deep nasolabial folds, hollow "lower" cheeks which make my face look long and pointy, wrinkles in my forehead, loose upper lid skin, wrinkles under my eyes, neck is getting wrinkly, and I have very ruddy skin.

I truly appreciate any advice you can give.
