Gold adds that retinol has been around for close to 50 years and has a ton of research to prove its safeness. So rather than jumping from fad ingredient to fad ingredient, he recommends sticking with tried and true retinol to fix almost any skin issue. The best part is that these days, you can find retinol in products to fit almost any budget, from Roc Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream, $19.21, to SkinMedica Retinol Complex, $75.

Thanks for the info. Lots of great tips; lots of things I didn't know at all.

Oops. I've done many of these. It's good to see which rules were made to be broken

Lots of great tips! I wonder why my dermatologist never recommended using coconut or lavender oil on my super-dry skin? I'll have to look into it!

Excellent tips. If you have very puffy eyes, a heavy cream will exacerbate the problem. Otherwise, I've been "freed" by learning that I can use the same moisturizer on my eyes as on my face. These are great tips!

In my case since I have hyperpigmentation, I exfoliate daily with Murad AHA/BHA cleanser, which is very gentle enough and 2 or 3 times a week I use philosophy's Microdelivery Peel. It's a vitamin C peel and it's excellent! These products allow whatever is used to treat the hyperpigmentation to sink better into the skin and work to get better results.

I still need the extra moisture from my eye cream especially that I use a concealer.
