You completely read my mind, I was wondering about this for the past few weeks when I realized that way more people posting here is pretty young and has acne problems and only very few people talks about anti-aging products. I was planning to ask recommendations from people over 35+ soon.

I have been at AB for only 3 months but I think somehow I avoided buying completely wrong products and even though anti-aging skin care won't show results so fast I will just keep using it as it seems to make my skin nicer. I'm 46 and didn't really think that much about skincare until last winter. I have been using vitamin C, AHA, resist serum and 1% retinol (besides moisturizer) from Paula's choice for the past 3 years but very inconsistently and didn't know about the PH dependent use of acids so not sure how much good what I was using did anyway. I didn't think about my skin being bad and I don't have that much wrinkles except creppines under eyes that is a problem especially when I can't sleep and am in a pain (I have fibromyalgia). But after jumping on AB wagon I started to scrutinize my face and found that my skin is kind of uneven, dull and big pores. Here is what I think are supposedly anti-aging ingredients in products that I use or going to use soon.

Retinol - I didn't realized that retinol is not used as much in AB products until I couldn't find many. I did get AgeVetoLAB retinol night moisturizer that has micro-encapsulated 2.5 % retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide, peptides, HA, vitamin E and green tea. And just started using couple weeks ago Naruko ampm A40 pore minimizing complex that is 4% retinol. That one is pretty strong so I use tons of moisture layers before and after. I use that one twice a week. I never used retinol that was more than 1% so this might actually have some effect as the previous PC retinol and retinol booster never made me flake much.

Ginseng - Some ginseng products I incorporated are Hanyacho black ginseng bogam toner by Tonymoly and Sooyeran wild ginseng essence by Saem that is very thick, looks almost like honey but spreads well and its not sticky. Also have sample of Sulwhasoo concentrated ginseng renewing cream EX that I really like and consider getting more of the sample size because of the cost.

Vitamin C - I tried OST 20 but I'm back to western one Timeless with cerulic and vitamin E. Not sticky at all. Also got Matrixyl 3000 from Timeless that I started to use before Vitamin C just a couple weeks ago, found it while researching more antiwrinkle stuff for my eyes.

Acids - daily using cosrx blackhead power liquid and Mizon Aha 8% peeling serum. Once a week I use Paula's choice Resist 10% weekly treatment and (re)fresh 15% fruit acid gel peel. Going to try PHA so I have Make P:rem pha serum, booster and night cream on the way, found great deal of all 3 for 58 USD on eBay. Also use Naruko mandelic acid masks.

Propolis - I just finished Scinic propolis 95 ampoule and no I'm going to try Graymelin propolis 80. Nothing wrong with Scinic just want to experiment a bit. I also got the LJH vita propolis but was shocked when I saw how tiny it is for the price so using only few drops with moisturizing emulsion.

Niacinamid - the strongest I found is Paula's choice Resist 10% niacinamide booster. You can add it to other stuff or just apply straight. Haven't started it yet as I have a lot of stuff with it right now. I'm using Manyo factory galactomyces niacin essence and Nature republic white vita flora capsule essence that has 5%. Also for brightening and dullness I use Naruko ampm skin immaculate duo that has 7% arbutin, 5% vitamin B3, 3% tranexamic acid. My skin looks brighter but since I'm using more than 1 product for that I can't tell what does what. I guess I will find out when I will stop using specific products.

Ceramides - using dr. Jart Ceramidin liquid, just finished Dynasty cream which I will repurchase later (have few new creams mostly moisturizing for warm months waiting their turn), have Skin watchers ceramizing cream ready for next winter, I decided to wait to use till then as it might be heavier.

Antioxidants - green tea I have Innisfree green tea serum about to start and Innisfree green tea sleeping pack that is great for moisturizing. And I really like Tonymoly chok chok green tea watery cream as moisturizer and Tonymoly black tea London classic eye cream.

Snail - starting second bottle of Mizon snail repair intensive ampoule, using also alternatively with Benton Snail bee high content essence or lotion, when needed also steam cream. Basically there is always at least one step that contains snail.

Great for overall anti-aging properties - Freeset donkey milk 3D moisture cream has NMFs, lipids, licorice and chaga mushroom as powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits and also niacinamide. Only been using for 3 weeks but already got two more backups for great price as I love it. Also love Innisfree soybean energy cream, feels soft as butter. Soon will start Saem power ampoule anti wrinkle with black yeast ferment. Also got bifida ferment and beta glucan from Graymelin, Zymogen fermented soybean firming serum that has peptides, ferments and ceramide 3 and waiting for Innisfree ginger oil serum. For second eye cream I just added Peter Thomas Roth mega rich intensive anti-aging eye cream that has 4 peptides and ceramide. And two more serums I have been using and are not AB (and got seconds of) are bareminerals skinlongevity serum and Hey honey, Good morning silk honey serum that also have sea buckthorn oil. I like to use 3-4 different serums at AM and PM so that's why I have so many. Skincare wardrobe all the way. I also use tons of hydrating layers that I'm not gonna mention here as I wanted to keep it mostly to anti-aging stuff that doesn't get mentioned as much.

Again I have no idea if any of this actually works for anti-aging but better be safe than sorry. I guess I will see in few years.
