I actually have started using the Paula's Choice Resist line for dry skin and have been really pleased with them! The kit was about 200.00 but it was on sale for about 170.00 when I ordered mine. Honestly I think I've found the products for me!

I use Clinique under eye cream and their Dramatically Different moisturizer. I have very oily skin so use a home made face mask every week. I cleanse my face with Dawn dishwashing soap before bed, then a light application of diluted apple cider vinegar before moisturizing. Sounds crazy- but keeps my skin clear and soft.

Blue Onblue, that is amazing! Years ago, a stray cat came to us, wouldn't leave and became expectant. I knew when this would happen, my indoor cat had raised a ruckus so we noticed the event. The stray lived in the garage (hence, her name was Garage Cat or GC) and when I came home the day before the expected event, she had oil all over her back! Called the vet who said she must be bathed and to use Dawn Dishwashing soap or Murphy's Oil Soap. I had neither of those so used what I had (Palmolive and the like) but none of my stock would do more than slide off the oil slick! Husband made mad dash to grocery while I held her in the bathtub, used the Dawn and have never bought any other brand since. That was probably 35 years ago! She was small and so round and heavy that she could not fight. Came home the next day and four new kittens. Kept one and had to put down at 19 years old! Our Sugarbaby!

Lancome Gentifique (sp?) is amazing. Expensive, but you only need a little. Worth every penny.

Clinique works best for me.

Dry and maturing skin can be tricky—I’ve tried a bunch of creams and serums over the years, but what really made a difference for me was adding subtle volume and hydration where it matters. I’ve had a great experience with Elasty lip filler, which I found on https://derma-solution.com/product-category/elasty/. It helped smooth out the lip area and gave a refreshed look without going overboard. When used alongside a good skincare routine, the results feel really natural and long-lasting. For anyone exploring options beyond just surface-level hydration, it might be worth looking into.

I've also been on the hunt for something better for my dry, aging skin. I recently came across Renew You Medical Wellness, and while they're more known for in-office treatments, they also recommend professional-grade skincare products tailored to your skin type. After a consult, they suggested a regimen that’s really helped with hydration and fine lines—way more effective than over-the-counter stuff I’d been using. Definitely worth looking into if you're ready for something more targeted!
