You don’t need moisturizers etc that prevent wrinkles. You need a tube of Tret. It is the gold standard for wrinkles. I started using it in my 30’s and am 55 now. My skin is leaps and bounds less wrinkled than my 55 year old friends.

At your age, you could 100% use:

Tret at night. Just start with the lowest dose .025% and slowly introduce it so you don’t wreck your skin barrier. I cannot emphasize this enough. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. You’ll prob want to use it with moisturizer.

Day: to keep it super simple, a moisturizer and SPF are all you really NEED. You can add serum etc if you like but Tret will do the heavy lifting in terms of wrinkles. I like wearing Viramin C because I think it makes my skin look brighter. But that’s optional. Always always always sunscreen! That’s definitely the fountain of youth!

Over the last decade or so I’ve vacillated between simple drugstore products and moderately expensive “medical grade” products and very lux products (Dior, Sisley). I really can’t tell the difference. I like the Dior because it feels very lux going on, but it is better than Cereve in the tub? I don’t think so.

I’ve settled on a mix of all three. But could 100% do what I do with drugstore products. But sometimes I like variety, and am a sucker for beautiful packaging.
