Tried searching previous posts but maybe my search results function just hates me today.

Can yall recommend an affordable night cream? I will be 30 this year and have fairly sensitive skin. I have heard good things about 1ZA4853Y0305733523 and Neutrogena. thoughts? thanks!

Okay I have no idea what my phone did (apparently it hates me too?) but that was supposed to say Olay.

Olay regenerist moisturizer is good but if your looking for anti aging ingredients you should try using a serum before your moisturizer they have smaller molecular size so they go deeper into the skin they are also packed with way more ingredients to fight lines and wrinkles then you put your moisturizer ontop

What are your concerns? Dryness, wrinkles, discolorations, acne, large pores, loss of firmness, rough texture, or protection from free radicals?

Traci thanks. is there one you recommend?

Marleen I would say wrinkles and texture mostly. I rarely have acne but still have scarring from middle school...waiting for a money tree to fix that!

Well for anti aging you want to work on everything texture tone,wrinkles,everything Marlene mentioned but acne so if you can tolerate it try using retinol serum if your looking for drugstore roc is the best and they have a sensitive formula just start using it 3 times a week a tiny pea size.amout the other days you can use olay regenerist serum and night cream and always spf daily but the line that I really love is Dr Graf and you can find whole kits on hsn ,her products really work well and there affordable

Neutrogena has a lot of good, affordable choices. The Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream has retinol in it. Retinol will help with fine lines, discoloration & smoothing skin texture. Some people are sensitive to retinols so you should always do patch test. But it is a good starter retinol. Once your skin is acclimated to it you can upgrade to a stronger one. But it doesn't have a lot of moisture due to the fact that its considered a "treatment" and not a moisterizer. Some can get away with this alone & some will want to put an actual moisterizer over it.

Another good choice if you can't tolerate retinol is an Anti-Oxident Cream.

@Catherine...You are welcome. Just a tip if you decide to go with a retinol product. Ususally you can tell a reputable retinol product by the fact that it will be packaged in a "metal" container. Some of the brands that are in metal are Neutrogena, (the one I recommended), Roc, Skinceuticals, & Philosophy. But you still have to check carefully because even these brands will sell other lotions, moisterizers & cleansers that have retinol in them but its usually in lower concentrations or its been oxidized because of air & light. Once retinol has been oxidized it has very little potency left in it. But, even these lower concentration products have their value for all the other beneficial ingredients in them. Check the ingredients & packaging & if you're not sure because most products are in boxes. Do some research. Check here & YouTube.

Marleen thank you for this reminder. I used retin-a in varying strengths over the years to try to treat acne during puberty and remember all of it being in metal tubes that were so darn hard to squeeze to get every little expensive bit out!

@Catherine...Yes, Retin-A...the King of all retinols.
