Do you use niacinamide? It's great for evening things out, and although it's rather basic I'm finding the COSRX snail cream is doing wonders for fine lines and dehydration.Mainly fine lines and deep no 11’s, evening out skin tone, general pre-menopausal issues!
Try the sandwich method with the retinol. Moisturiser light layer first, then retinol, then moisturiser. It can help with initial sensitivity.I'm a bit skin care clueless, few months ago I used a retinol (low %) and my skin reacted badly.
Do we need 'actives'? They seem like a relatively new thing....what was in anti wrinkle stuff before retinol? Is there anything that can be recommended that does the same but v gentle. Thank you
Thank you so much for this recommendation, I’ll look into it. The skin and me doc said to test any new products in the crook of my arm for 5 days before putting on my face so hopefully no more mega reactions to new products.Do you use niacinamide?

A retinoid will be your best bet for real wrinkles obviously but sounds like you need to be careful!
If you're just starting with skincare I'd say first try and find a good routine with a cleanser, moisturiser, and spf (for the sunnier days). Then you can figure out what 'actives' might be helpful.I'm a bit skin care clueless, few months ago I used a retinol (low %) and my skin reacted badly.

I've seen people talk about Embryolisse for very dry skin under makeup. It's a French moisturiser, and you can buy it from Boots online (and Look Fantastic, Sephora UK etc). https://www.boots.com/embryolisse-lait-creme-concentre-nourishing-moisturiser-30ml-10185913Sorry if this has been asked previously. But what is the best skincare/makeup that I can use on my very very dry skin? No matter what I do or use, my makeup just comes off my face or it looks cakey because my skin is SO dry.
SPF is recommended to be used every day all year round.If you're just starting with skincare I'd say first try and find a good routine with a cleanser, moisturiser, and spf (for the sunnier days).
Essie ballet slippers isAny recommendations for a sheer/natural/your-nails-but-better nail polish? Ideally good with only one coat, more on the pinky side than too white-milky. Ideally from Essie, OPI or Kiko (Chanel or Dior too, but if I can avoid forking 30+ euros into a nail polish that's be nice)

Can anyone please recommend a light daily SPF for combination skin? Maybe psychological but I only really like clear gel moisturiser as I always find creams leave my face oily 🫠Essie ballet slippers isand Chanel ballerina is very similar but imho not as good as Essie

Good point! For anti-aging purposes best practice seems to be to use spf all year round. So for @Mythoughts ideally you’d use spf every daySPF is recommended to be used every day all year round.

Mine is from The Range, you could check and see if "Nitro" is on Amazon.Don't think this is technically on topic for this thread but drinking more water does help with being glam! Does anyone have a good Stanley Cup dupe, preferably from Amazon, please?
