<p>I can tell you what my dermatologist recommends for aging skin. Apparently there are a small number of ingredients that have been shown to be effective. One of them is the active ingredient in this:</p>
<p>[Amazon.com:</a> Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, 1-Ounce Bottle: Health & Personal Care](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Skinceuticals-CE-Ferulic-1-Ounce-Bottle/dp/B001CJJ5SQ]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Skinceuticals-CE-Ferulic-1-Ounce-Bottle/dp/B001CJJ5SQ)</p>
<p>It’s expensive, but a bottle lasts for about 8 months. I use it in the morning, and when I started I saw a definite improvement in my skin. I’m not sure it reduces wrinkles, but it made my skin somehow look brighter.</p>
<p>She also is a fan of retinoids, either prescriptions like Retin-A or generics, or this over-the-counter products, which is stronger than the retinols but easier to tolerate than Retin-A; it comes in different strengths.</p>
<p>[Amazon.com:</a> Avene Retrinal Cream 0.1 1oz: Health & Personal Care](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Avene-Retrinal-Cream-0-1-1oz/dp/B000R8Z7BC]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Avene-Retrinal-Cream-0-1-1oz/dp/B000R8Z7BC)</p>
<p>The third product, of course, is sunscreen, SPF at least 40, all year around. I’ve been using this on her recommendation:</p>
<p>[url=<a href=“http://www.eltamd.com/ProductDetail.aspx?p=6]EltaMD[/url”>http://www.eltamd.com/ProductDetail.aspx?p=6]EltaMD[/url</a>]</p>
<p>or their moisturizer with SPF 40. The moisturizer comes in a pump, and they changed the design a while ago, and there are some problems with the new one. Until they change it back I wouldn’t buy it. It stops putting out sunscreen after only about 10 days.</p>
<p>I love the Elta sunscreens. They are not at all greasy or sticky. I’ve tried many kinds, and almost all of them either make me break out or feel awful.</p>
