My skin is very sensitive and almost all anti-aging creams irritate my skin. I went back to using Cliniques three step cleaning line. The toner really seems to help to brighten my skin.

I have also gotten good results with Walgreens Alpha Hydroxy face cream when I used it on my neck. Sometimes I will use it on any breakouts.

Organic unrefined coconut oil , I am very serious. You can use it to cook, and bake as well. It feeds the skin, has nourishing properties, and is amazing! In my personal opinion , the skin looks years younger. It will feel greasy at first, then soak right in, you should notice results within a short time.

The best anti- aging cream is a good broad spectrum sunscreen worn faithfully every day.Don't tan or smoke. Drink water, eat colorful fruits and veggies, get proper rest. You will have skin that will look much younger as you age.

i use 100% organic unrefined pure shea butter - not shea added to anything .
about a 20$ or less for a 4 oz container ( can last me almost 6months )
i am hyper sensative to things so rash out from most things sold in stores and dept stores

If you want a simple moisturizer, something like Ponds cold cream or Vaseline will work.

There is NO anti-aging cream out there, we are always aging and nothing short of plastic surgery is going to change the direction of wrinkles.

You could drink more water and smile more, probably work better than creams.

Sunscreen, moisturizer, long walks, lots of water & laughter. Everything in moderation.
Make good choices, have a contingency plan and know that you can't make everything perfect. Your outlook is everything.

Not quite what you were looking for but words of wisdom just the same.
Stress is the number one aging factor. Find joy in simple things & your life will be simply better.

I use coconut oil too! But only at night. Sometimes I squeeze a capsule of vitamin A and one of E into it.

My budget has not allowed much for day creams, but I bought a bottle of organic all natural "body" lotion with ginger and citrus that I found on clearance for $1!! and have been using that on my face during the day. Natural just is so much better for your skin.

Olive oil. It's not anti-aging but it will moisturize, take off make up and it's good with pasta

I buy mine in bulk from Welcome to Tropical Traditions

It is a great brand . Tropical traditions also sells on ebay.

I also love the "Living Foods" Extra Virgin Coconut oil, you can get it at most Health Food Stores. I did use organic olive oil in the past, love this much better. In colder climates it will harden, in the summer become a liquid if stored right will last a long time. It has antibacterial properties, nourishing, and is wonderful as a moisturizer and many other things. I make an organic chocolate with it as well.

Well this is what I have and use at the moment...Kiss My Face Filthy Rich moisturizer, Cetaphil, Arbonne, and Lacura. Sometimes I use Olive oil.

I really want some coconut oil!!

**Trishagirl** · 12-05-2010, 10:20 PM

I haven't had much luck with anti aging. I have very oily skin but aging. I do have acne but have been able to keep it under control. I also have very sensitive skin and seborrhic dermatitis. I have a hard time controling the seborrhic derm but I have notice that any anti aging creams of any kind makes it worse.

The best thing I have found is a moisturizer with sunscreen. I also agree with drinking water, eat well and exercise.

I have noticed that jojoba oil and evening primrose oil topically sometimes helps my skin. I also take evening primrose internally.
