In today’s video I’m sharing four skincare products that are brand new to me, and I’m trying them to improve what I can on this 77-year-old face. I’m not demonstrating them in this one—I’m simply walking you through what I picked up, why I’m interested, and how I plan to work them into my routine as I fight back age on my face like we all do. I’ll be testing everything for at least a couple of weeks (maybe a little longer) to watch for irritation or any kind of reaction, and then I’ll report back with my honest results. I’m trying two serums from The Ordinary: Matrixyl 10% + HA (a thick peptide serum that I’m hoping will plump my skin—like “collagen pudding”) and Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 for hydration and the look of wrinkles. I also picked up SKINN Mantle Milk, a “skin flooding” serum with rice ferment and a ceramide complex, and I’ll be using that AM and PM. Lastly, I’m testing a budget-friendly swap: CeraVe Hydrating Toner for normal to dry skin, because when you’re retired you try to save a little money where you can—if it works, great, and if not, I’ll go right back to my Clinique.
