I know I am a little young to start using wrinkle creams but I really feel that I need them. I have been having really bad anxiety problems over the past year and a half or so and the stress from it has really taken a toll on my appearance. I have an anxiety disorder that causes you to be really stressed out like all of the time. I have sought treatment for it but it is still something that I struggle with. The stress it has caused has really aged me though. I honestly think I look about ten years older than I am or more in my face. I even had some gray hair. I have puffiness and a few wrinkles around me eyes and the skin on face is definitely not as firm and supple as it used to be. Stress can age you so badly so quickly and I just want to reverse some of the damage that has been done already. Right now I use a regular face lotion before I go to bed and then a dual spf and moisturizer for during the day plus moisture surge cream from clinique that isn’t for aging or anything. I just want to know of any good, anti-aging products that are out there that would be safe for my age. I also drink lots of water and eat healthy to take care of my skin. I also have very sensitive skin so I need something that isn’t too harsh. I probably couldn’t afford something that costs more than so something in the -50 range would be good. Any other skin care tips would be welcomed.

I have really bad acne. Mostly blackheads that won’t go away. I have used Skinid, neutrogena, PanOxyl, and proactiv. None of them work for me. I went to a dermatologist and they gave me a anti-yeast treatment. It doesn’t seem to work. I have also used Clean & Clear. I get really bad breakouts and I have one right now, which is really bad. Like impossible to handle. Do you have any treatments for sensitive skin. My skin tends to dry up and peel. PLEASE HELP!

I get few pimples occaisionally on my forehead and/ or chin. I use Clinique’s three step system day and night, and I have sensitive skin. I’m looking for a gentle acne treatment that will help the occaissonal outbreak. By the way, I’m allergic to benzyol peroxide.

I think darker skin tones/tans are nice too and looks good on others.
But I have sun sensitive skin and am very prone to have freckles and sun spots. I was looking for a product that would lighten them for an overall brighter, more even look. I just started using Shiseido White Lucent concentrated serum and haven’t seen a difference yet. I was wondering if anyone used a brightening/whitening product that really worked for them. Thanks!

Possibly a fast acting cream. For all skin types and for sensitive skin.

I am leaving for camp soon and you cant go with tons of acne on your forehead and chin. Especially the horrible blackheads on your nose. I have very sensitive skin, even Proactive makes my skin very irritated. I have less than a week to go to camp and i wash my face everyday with the AcneFree sensitive skin treatment, nothing special. I need a possible treatment that works fast with mildly sensitive skin. Thanks

I’m a teenager, and I like wearing foundation. I like how it looks and feel confident with it on. I mostly use hypoallergenic products because I have sensitive skin. I rarely break out.
Aside from foundation, I wash my face twice daily, moisturize, wear sunscreen, and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I’m very paranoid about developing wrinkles in the long run.
So… here’s my question, is me wearing foundation damaging my skin and advancing my wrinkles in the long run, despite my other skin care habits?

My skin is getting clearer and clearer since I switched my skin care, and now all I have a four small pimples I would like to cover. What would be a good creamy (preferably drugstore) concealer that won’t irritate my sensitive skin?
Also what is a good eye cream for a girl on a budget (nothing for wrinkles, just moisture)?
Thanks a lot!

I have struggled with acne for about 4 years and I’ve tried proactiv, skinID, and many other over the counter cleansers as well. I have fairly sensitive skin and moderate acne. My face dries out pretty quickly as well. What cleanser or acne system should I use to get good results and fast?
I was thinking of the 3 step neutrogena kit or acne free. Any suggestions?

3) my face skin looks as if it has gone deep inside(especially my cheeks)
4) uneven skin texture
5) uneven skin color
6) saggy skin
7) fairer neck and body skin but 10 X darker face skin.
i’ve tried many product from bioglo, avon and many more since i was 15 yo, but nothing happened as if my skin won’t absorb the nutrients..and my face is better when i wash it,but after few minutes all the abnormality that i have listed above happens.
so which product should i use, i have sensitive skin, i’ve tried many cleanser, toner, and hydrating mask and cream.(but they are all waste, almost 100 different types of product since i was 15)
im now planning to buy products from GARNIER.
if u are suggesting any garnier products, which garnier to choose is it from AQUA DEFENSE, POWER LIGHT,etc.
should i buy for THE MENS or just RANDOMLY..
please be kind and dont use harsh words. im just lost in this skin care matter.
anyone out there plzz be kind and help me to sort my problem. skin problem seems far away from me when im young but now when im in my 20s they are here to say,especially when im meeting new people in my working place.
now i have lost my confidence..
advance thanks guys..

I’m a 20 year old female, and I want to start taking preventive measures against signs of aging, since I am already starting to see wrinkles around my eyes. Does anyone have any good anti aging skin care products they recommend? I have very sensitive skin, and a fair complexion. Thanks in advance!

Okay I’m 15, and I have VERY sensitive skin, to the point that some products will actually give me a chemical burn. I need a moisturizer and a cleanser that will help me get rid of my acne but not be too harsh on my skin.
DONT say proactive, I’ve tried it, made it worse so please dont suggest it.
And I cant afford to go to a dermatologist so I have to have something over the counter, any ideas?

I used the "Acne free" brand acne kit for sensitive skin. I have never used a kit like that before (such as proactive), but I have used other pore washes and acne pads. I have gotten some adverse reaction from the pads I’ve used in the past, but when I switched to the sensitive skin treatments, I didn’t have any reddening or dryness.
It says to used tree times a day, to start off, I used it once.
the last step of the treatment was to put on a thin layer of the "mask" and leave it on.
I had done this in the afternoon with no problems through out the rest of the day even into the night,
But the next morning I woke up and my skin was bright read and so swollen I could barely open my eyes.
I have a bad reaction to Benodryl, so I didn’t want to use any, so I just used an ice pack in hopes the swelling would go down.
This happened three days ago, and as of today, the swelling is down alot, but not all the way gone, I’m still swollen under and around my eyes alot, in the cheeks, around my mouth and forehead.
My skin is still very read and itchy and the dryness is just getting worse, even though I’m putting moisturizing lotion on it multiple times a day.
Not only is my skin dry, red and itchy, but it burns constantly.
Anyone have any ideas what to do?
Can anyone give me any ideas what caused this?

I am 18 years old.
I use scrubs 3-4 times a week, moisturize in the morning and night with my bobbi brown moisturizer (I have sensitive skin), I use Differin (a retin-A product), take vitamins, watch my diet, use benzaclin for acne, and wear SPF 15 in the winter and SPF 50 in the summer (I only wear SPF 15 in the winter because I live in northern Canada and we don’t get much sun when it’s -35 for four months).
Yet my skin is still flaky, dry (Even if I slather it with vaseline) and wrinkles are developing, especially under my eyes, in the nasolabial folds and around my mouth.
My genes for skin suck, my dad looks about 15 years older than he is and my mum has had a lot of sun damage (although she has also used juvaderm, botox and CO2 lasers so her skin is better than it would be, still, she tanned until she was about 45).
Is there ANYTHING I can do to make my skin better? People always say, "You look so tired" or, "You should take care of your skin" But I DO!

I’m 16 years old. I have dry-combo skin. My cheeks and mouth are flakey, while my forehead and chin is oilier. My cheeks and nose are also constantly red. I have sensitive skin. I’ve been really wanting to take better care of my skin. I’ve been doing some research and I’ve come up with this routine for my face. Oh. I get a little bit of acne, but its not bad.
Night
1. Cetaphil Cleanser
2. Neutrogena alcohol free toner
3. Loreal Skin Genesis Deep action night complex
4. Loreal Skin Genesis Eye serum
5. Loreal skin Genesis Complexion Equalizer
DAY
1. Cetaphil Cleanser
2. Neutrogena alcohol free toner
3. Loreal eye serum
4. Loreal ideal skin genesis daily treatment serum
5. Neutrogena combination skin moisturizer.
If you’re wondering, I’m using two different moisturizers because I believe the Neutrogena is lighter than the Loreal.
I haven’t begun this routine yet. I was wondering if its good before I go waste tons of money.
Please don’t say "WAAAAY too much stuff." If you’ll look, you’ll notice that most are serums/moisturizers-not anything that would strip my skin.
I know that at 16 I don’t have wrinkles, but I want to protect my skin and really make it look great.
Any comments? And please tell me if there is a product that might be better. My main concern is redness. Yikes.

I am looking for a skin regime that you can use daily. It has to be 100% pure and gentle for your skin. It has to help fight 100% acne, blackheads, breakouts, sensitive skin, and oily skin. I need a system that gets rid of unclean skin and shows results no later than thirty days. I am not looking for name brands that are selling on t.v. or the over the counter medicine. I am looking for a acne treatment that is proven to work and nothing that has to do with pharmecticual ingriedents.

I’ve had problems with acne since middle school. I’ve gone to dermatolgists and have used all sorts of medicine from them and nothing. I’ve even used ProActive for a couple of years with only mediocre (if thats how you spell it) results. So I was wondering, instead of going back to the doctors, what are some of the best drugstore acne treatments out there? I have sensitive skin also so I have to be careful. And if anyone knows what makeup will help me not to breakout, that’d be great too.
And please, no one say ProActive. I’m not trying that again.
Thank You!

I have sensitive skin. Proactiv did clear my skin most of the way but it dried my skin out a lot and i still break out a lot around my period. Any suggestions?
