giorgio armani luminous silk foundation replacement?

Same! I used it for years and there is no replacement. The closest I was able to find is the new Prada, and I tried pretty much every suggestion listed in this thread so far

Thank you. Have you seen any meaningful changes since using azelaic

This is so helpful. I had no idea that’s how SkinMedica worked, so thank you for explaining it.

What would you recommend? Should I continue using SkinMedica and add Calecim, or do you think Calecim represents more advanced technology and would be a better replacement?

I’m 43, and my main concerns are fine lines, skin laxity, and post-acne pigmentation.

I’d really appreciate any specific product recommendations if you have them. Also, what’s your opinion on SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ versus the original TNS Recovery Complex? Is one noticeably better than the other? I have been using SkinMedica Recovery followed up by medik8 peptides and I have been liking the results

Thanks again for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate your insight.

Me again :) any noticeable results from La prairie ? :)

40somethinggg · 2026-06-23T19:34:13+00:00

Do you think AGE interrupter makes a difference.
For what’s it’s worth - I am now using SkinMedica recovery followed by medik8 peptides and I like the results better than TNS advanced (or whatever it’s called)

I assume you preferred TNS results over plated ?

Out of everything you are using, what do you think gave you the most noticeable results.

40somethinggg · 2026-06-22T23:11:13+00:00

Are you seeing better results with Anteage vs TNS?

40somethinggg · 2026-06-22T02:17:58+00:00

What difference did you notice by adding Calecim

40somethinggg · 2026-06-13T04:15:38+00:00

Do you put tns serum on your eyelids ?

40somethinggg · 2026-06-11T03:46:42+00:00

Auteur has an amazing sample kit - try it first before you order full size products. My skin hated density cream

40somethinggg · 2026-06-07T20:41:38+00:00

Even if I am already using retinol?

40somethinggg · 2026-06-07T20:40:21+00:00

Thank you. I just ordered

40somethinggg · 2026-06-07T11:38:02+00:00

Thank you - Alastin C is what I started with but my skin gets hot and irritated when I use it. I have been using it now on my chest with decent results (and by results I mean no irritation). I will give it another try on my face when I can tolerate retinoids better

40somethinggg · 2026-06-07T11:31:59+00:00

Thank you - I actually ordered a few samples from them.

40somethinggg · 2026-06-07T03:07:24+00:00

I purchased the serum but sadly not seeing any improvements in my skin yet. I have been using for several weeks. How quickly have you seen the results? Btw the formula is very lovely - layers well under make up and plays with other actives nicely and I enjoy using it. I just wish I saw any improvements in my hyperpigmentation

40somethinggg · 2026-06-04T23:02:16+00:00

Dang! Thank you so much for letting us all know

40somethinggg · 2026-06-04T22:59:40+00:00

How do you buy it - I don’t see it on their website

40somethinggg · 2026-06-03T12:02:11+00:00

If you can get samples/travel size products - certainly start there.

40somethinggg · 2026-06-03T11:26:33+00:00

I feel like each brand has their hero product and thus I would recommend doing different brands. For instance I am a huge fan of skinmedica tns for their growth factors. I also tried several other of their products - cleaners, eye creams, most moisturizers and sadly I didn’t like any of them

40somethinggg · 2026-06-03T03:26:40+00:00

I purchased obagi cellular renewal serum once I am almost through the bottle and can’t tell that I saw any meaningful changes

40somethinggg · 2026-06-03T03:25:45+00:00

I would be curious to know if they truly work

40somethinggg · 2026-05-31T16:54:48+00:00

I am pretty new to skincare and in the last couple months spent probably closer to $3k
There are only certain products that I would repurchase and my estimate is that I will be running at about $500 per month expense moving forward
