I’ve tried several brands, and they’ve all been absolutely terrific. It never gets rancid, it’s light and quickly absorbed, and it doesn’t clog my pores. And it’s cheap! I’ve been using it for years, and imagine I’ll never stop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum/page/2#post-2211397 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 13:35:47 +0000 Ana 2211397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! A retinol night cream can definitely help with wrinkles. You could also switch to a prescription retinoid (like Tretinoin) and it can help with even more. It's not a miracle and it takes time and consistent use to get results, but there have been lots of studies that show it visibly reduces wrinkles. I get mine through Curology but you can also get it through your dermatologist. You have to be very consistent about applying sunscreen every day though. Otherwise the sun damage will make it worse than if you didn't use it at all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum/page/2#post-2211350 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 07:18:42 +0000 rachylou 2211350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m interested in the Solawave now! </p> <p>My problem with everything is keeping up with it. My grandma had no wrinkles and used Clinique, but I think more than the product was her faithful use of any product. I’m really really bad about it. I’ve fallen off my Olaplex hair conditioner and frankly it’s excellent… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum/page/2#post-2211349 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 06:32:30 +0000 Jennifer 2211349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Ordinary Squalane Oil, sold at Ulta works great for me! Also, I read that using Noxema to clean your face, will supposedly keep your skin looking youthful. My mom used it her whole life, and at 77 she has no wrinkles, so here's to hoping </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum/page/2#post-2211336 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 03:19:19 +0000 Ana 2211336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Janet I don't know anything about the Solawave, but it seems like a red light therapy device? I've heard really good things about infrared light therapy and facial skin. I'm very curious about the Omnilux Light Therapy mask. It's so pricey though, I'm afraid to go for it just yet. But I have some of the same issues as you with thinner skin and red light therapy is really supposed to help with that and facial redness (which I also have).&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a Nuface mini micro current device and when I actually have time to use it, I really like the results. I wish they weren't temporary, haha. But things are so hectic in my life right now that I don't have the time to dedicate to it every day. &nbsp;</p> <p>For serums I really like <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.timelessha.com">Timeless</a>&nbsp;and The Ordinary because they're a good value. There's a YouTuber I really like whose handle is <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/user/HotandFlashy">HotandFlashy</a>. Her name is also Angie. She's in her 50s and I really appreciate her skincare reviews. She is very thorough! I've learned a lot about good, inexpensive skincare lines from her channel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum/page/2#post-2211068 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 18:46:28 +0000 Janet 2211068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an old thread, but I was reading it with a bit of interest, so I thought I’d piggyback on the questions.</p> <p> I recently purchased a Solawave, and I have no idea whether it’s going to be worth it or not, but so far it’s pleasant to use, and I read enough encouraging things about it to make me think it was worth a try. </p> <p>I’m turning 56 soon and I am not naturally blessed with spot- and wrinkle-free skin. I have already developed some age spots, and some lines around my mouth (not a smoker, nor was my mom, but she had them too later in life). I do have that fair, thin skin typical of most people with my ethnic background. Freckles, sunburn, etc. Sigh. I drink plenty of water and try to eat a balanced diet.</p> <p>I’ve been trying various products in the last few years, and I’ve added a Retinol night moisturizer, and a vitamin C serum. I’ve changed to using a Blissy silk pillowcase. I’ve used moisturizer with sunscreen for many years.</p> <p>I realize I can’t turn back time, and it’s unlikely any product will reverse what’s already happening, but if anyone has good recommendations for skin of my age and with my issues, I welcome them! Particularly for a serum that can be used with the Solawave. </p> <p>I’ve also been considering Juvaderm or some sort of gentle fillers, but I’m not super crazy about that idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum/page/2#post-2211060 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 18:13:02 +0000 April 2211060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For an all natural product face serum, I strongly suggest Bee's Sweet Haven.&nbsp; The face and body oils and butters are all 100% natural and smells really good.&nbsp; My favorites are the hibiscus infused oil &amp; the chamomile and calendula infused oil.&nbsp; My skin is so super soft and my facial issues are a thing of the past thanks to this wonderful brand's serums.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum#post-2202244 Sat, 12 Jun 2021 20:59:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2202244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I miss KM! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum#post-2202232 Sat, 12 Jun 2021 19:20:47 +0000 Cardiff girl 2202232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ordinarys marula oil.lm not very consistent with skincare mainly because l can never see much of a difference with anything but this really seems to help with mature dry skin.l wouldn’t use it on oily skin though,it’s too rich. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum#post-2202198 Sat, 12 Jun 2021 17:05:20 +0000 Anonymous 2202198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding Pai Rosehip Oil!

My favorite is by Suki - an organic skin care line. They make versions for dry and oily skin. I am super oily and have never had breakouts or clogging from the oily formula which I have used primarily around eyes.&nbsp;<br />Has anyone tried coconut oil on face? I have friends who swear by it. It seems greasy though so I have only used on body.&nbsp;<br />I have had good results with the "Say Yes to....." line of products Suz. I like their Blueberry eye cream and it is paraben free. Maybe a face cream would be an option. Price is reasonable at drugstore/Ulta.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum#post-1431246 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 11:30:45 +0000 Mona 1431246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never used it myself but have heard Josie Maran's argan oil line is very effective and available from Sephora. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum#post-1431245 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 11:16:53 +0000 AviaMariah 1431245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have very dry skin in the winter and have recently started using coconut oil to wash my face.

I just haven't found what. </p> <p>How do you wash with olive oil? I read that washing with oils is a good thing. Do you wipe it off ("dry" wash) or do you wash/rinse with water? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum#post-1427470 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 14:40:43 +0000 shiny 1427470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My skin used to be "combo" but as I move into menopause it's more and more dry, not oily, but I can still get breakouts especially around my chin. The breakouts seem to happen mostly when I travel, so I suspect that I may have an irritation to laundry detergents used in hotel rooms. I also get facial flushing which my dermatologist does not think is rosacea -- we are still trying to sleuth that out. </p> <p>Needless to say,&nbsp;I have very sensitive skin so less is more approach is best.&nbsp;</p> <p>I find serums incredibly drying, so I don't use them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, I think I am the only person who gets a reaction with Cetaphil -- wouldn't say I'm allergic, but it makes me itch like crazy.&nbsp;</p> <p>My current regime is:</p> <p>- A few drops of olive oil (from a bottle&nbsp;straight from the kitchen) to wash; twice a day. This not only leaves my face clean &amp; moisturized, it is incredibly soothing.&nbsp;<br />- Aveeno gentle face scrub; a few times a week.<br />- Lancome Renergie day cream with SPF under my foundation which also has moisturizer in it<br />- Lancome Renergie night cream before bed.</p> <p>K.M., I started the Lancome Renergie right around your age. I'm now 49. I switched over to it from Oil of Olay, which I'd used daily since my 20s. The OoO was no longer cutting it, it just wasn't rich enough.&nbsp;</p> <p>I might venture out and try other types of oils down the road, but for now, my face really likes the olive oil, and it's cheap &amp; convenient.&nbsp;</p> <p>You can click on my profile and see my pics, at 49 I do not have that many noticeable&nbsp;wrinkles. ProTip: I find that the fine lines and wrinkles are much less noticeable when I smile!!! &nbsp;In fact, the bigger the smile, the less noticeable.&nbsp;:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum#post-1427354 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 04:20:25 +0000 Suz 1427354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cross-posting from another thread in case anyone wants to hold my hand here....</p> <p>&nbsp;I literally didn't know what a serum was until today (had to look it all up). I had heard of retinol and retin-A but basically don't do anything to my skin. It's dry so I don't use soap. I sometimes use a washcloth or an sugar exfoliant. And day and night, I slather it with an inexpensive moisturizer. (Right now I am using Cetaphil cream, which does not get great reviews from Paula's Choice, I learned today. Worse, it's supposedly full of parabens, BUT while the website lists them as ingredients, they are not on the label of my jar and the EWG doesn't mention them. However, they rate the cream as a 3 -- not great. Cerave gets the same rating, by the way, and it does have parabens according to EWG.&nbsp;</p> <p>OY....what's a woman to do? I tried to find an inexpensive and effective moisturizer for dry skin recommended by both Paula's and EWG -- nothing doing. That item does not seem to exist. Meanwhile, Cetaphil feels great on my skin, soothing and fresh, and leaves it soft and dewy, as Angie says. Something I really appreciate.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't tolerate lots of sunscreens so often go without. (Horrors, I know; I promise I don't do it when the sun is high or if I am going to be out for very long.) I suppose I am paying for it with laugh lines and the rest.&nbsp;</p> <p>Clearly, I need to put some effort into this whole thing</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-facial-oil-andor-serum#post-1427314 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 03:09:34 +0000 jackiec 1427314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use Spectro facewash with my Clarisonic&nbsp;and Spectro moisturizer.
