Advice needed - Anti-aging concern, normal skin. I've used age-based skincare lines since I was 12, I'm 37 now and am starting to feel like my skins elasticity is declining. While I'm not trying to look 20 again, I'd still like to keep a healthy youthful appearence as long as possible. I've been looking at a few different brands and I may try DermaQuest. Anyone have experience with their line or advice on others to try? I don't wear make-up, so a product that works is a must.

Are you already using prescription tret?

You don’t need to have a specific concern to use tret. For what you describe in terms of goals it’s probably your perfect solution and only $10 a tube with insurance. It’s very well studied in terms of safety and effectiveness and you can manage the amount you use it. For example I use it once-twice a week. My nighttime routine is: night 1 chemical exfoliant, night 2 tret, night 3&4 intensive moisturiser. Other people use it every night depending o their skin type. I started using it at 33 and 2 years later my skin is so much better.

Tretinoin is for acne right?

It was originally studied for acne but they noticed in the trials that skin texture and fine lines showed a big improvement. Aside from sunscreen I believe it’s the only product with that level of clinical effectiveness data. And most anyone can use it

CSM, I know exactly what you mean and want. I am in the same boat.
I practically do not use makeup either, and I love my skin and I do see some declining due to age (same age as you).

Where are you located? I think it also depends on the weather environment you are in (especially to determine what you should use during AM).

What I am using in my night routine is a serum (firmness-focused) before the night cream (and the night cream is also firmness-focused).

Any way to get tret without prescription?

USI folks - Do you know if the Sum assured of the health insurance offered by Deloitte is for per year or total. Context, I am currently at Deloitte US and thinking of requesting a USI transfer because of a serious health issue for one of my parents. Would be really thankful if someone can clarify 1)Will parents existing conditions/treatment (Chemotherapy ) be covered from my day of joining and 2) Will sum assured will reset every year (if yes, then when, January or our FY). Thank you
