Hello wonderful friends! I was looking into getting into more serious skincare (like under eye creams, Antiwrinkle creams, etc) but wasn't sure if now was a good time to start. Is there a potential harm to starting too early? Also, what are some suggestions on products (that I can get in Canada hopefully)

I have combo skin, with delightfully large pores on my t-zone lol

No wayi started at 24. perfect age for it its about maintenance for prolonging young skin as long as you choose products aimed at young skin, so no wrinkle cream aimed at removing crows feet becoz that is for maturer women.

26 is a great time to start. I suggest Philosophy to start out with. It was my gateway into anti-aging products along with Mary Kay's Timewise collection. From Philosophy When Hope is Not Enough Facial Firming Serum and Turbo Booster C Powder mixed in with your moisturizing spf for daytime is a great combo. For nighttime RoC Retinol is another goodie. I use the products I just mentioned and have been for several years now. All can be found in Canada.

I don't think it's ever too early to start unless you are using more potentially harmful products that have like hydroquinone or something to that effect - but I'm 26 now and I've been using an eye cream since I was 23 so I think after 18 almost any preventative skincare is fair game.

Never too early! I started using eye creams when I was 18. As for other anti-aging products, I've been using a anti-aging serums for a while now (I'm currently 27). My opinion is, if you're still young, the best things to do to prevent early signs of aging is to use products that hydrate deep into your skin, apply sunscreen every day, and eat a balanced diet.
