What face cream do you use?
I've been using Patricia Wexler face cream (because my dermatologist uses it and has the most beautiful skin I've ever seen - though she fessed up to peels, etc - she is a dermatologist after all....) for about 3 months and I don't see any real difference from when I was using Neutrogena Visibly Even face cream (but I seem to have a hard time finding it).
The Patricia Wexler is about triple the price of the Neutrogena and if I could find it consistently I'd probably just go back to Neutrogena.
Anyone have any raves for their face cream that is easy to find that they would like to share? I have normal, starting to get wrinkly, skin.
Thanks!

Today show talked about CeraVe, check it out, I haven't used it myself though.

Here is a post I did a little while ago:

I have since bought the Oil of Olay daily moisturizer, and some Oil of Olay night time stuff. I probably should be looking into some more $$ anti-aging stuff, as I am 37 now and getting some serious gray hairs - surely the wrinkles are next!
I use Olay complete daily with SPF 15. I think it's for sensitive skin. I get 2-packs at Costco and it's really cheap. Other moisturizers with SPF irritate my eyes and Olay doesn't.
I really need a good eye cream and night cream for anti-aging, but I like Olay for day.
I was using Hope in a Jar for about a year. At first I liked it, it didn't seem to bother my sensitive, breakout-prone, skin, but then I just kind of started feeling "meh" about it because I wasn't noticing anything all that great with my skin either.
I decided to try something else and switched to Origins Night-a-Mins moisturizer about 3 months ago:

All I have to say is: Amazing!!! I only use it at night, it feels like it would be heavy but you use so little and it melts right into your skin. I wake up and my skin looks so calm and smooth. Hardly any breakouts now (and when I do they're small and go away quickly), scarring and discoloration minimized, and my skin feels very moisturized. I love, love, love it!
Awesome! Thanks for all the great recs, ladies!!
I don't think you have to go expensive to get good results. I recently went in to see a skin care specialist, and she said the secret to good skin is: use a vitamin C serum every morning (anti-oxidant), along with a moisturizer with at least 30 spf, and a retinoid at night. Drink lots of water.
In the morning I use Cetaphil sph 50. It's gentle and doesn't make me break out.
I use Retin-A Micro every other night. The tube is $40 because my insurance doesn't cover the name brand, but i use a pea-size drop and that tube will last me a year. Before I got the Retin-A Micro, which is a prescription, I used Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair. I worked my way up to using it every night, and I noticed a difference within 2 weeks. On my off nights, I use Olay.
and dawnm has perfect skin... really... either that, or awesome makeup!
Makeup helps a lot!
