| In the spirit of preventative care for myself with the idea that for the rest of my life LOL I'll be using some magical cream can you recommend anything you've noticed actually works.

| I believe anything with Retinol in it will work better than any product without it. I have just started using the ROC products. We'll see how it works. Can't wait to see if you get anymore answers so I can see what others swear by. Also a good moisturizer and a good sun blocker is key. |

| I'm hoping they find the fountain of beauty in my lifetime...I've always been skeptical of products that "reduce the sign of wrinkles" but with technological advances maybe they have something out there that works?
I'd like to hear also!

| Remember your sunscreen when you use Retinol products! Heck, remember your sunscreen EVERY day. Don't forget the back of your hands too!
I have been having good results with Pro-X from Olay (used 20% off @ Bed Bath and Beyond) cause the products are pricey. $42 each.

| Wow who'da thought they'd have facial products there!?
Oh yes thanks for the sunscreen reminder. My toddler gets it most every day on her face and boy does she hate it. Hard to explain its importance without sounding vain but I tell her when she's a Mom someday she will be glad she wore it. And yet I don't put it on myself!!!!!!!! Just because it wasn't a habit ingrained in me. But I also don't sunbathe EVER. Never thought I needed to be bronze lol. |

| Too bad skin cancer doesn't sound as scary as liver spots and wrinkles in our society! Teach by example mom:)
Our BBB has an entire "drugstore" section now. I keep waiting for them to restrict the 20% off but it hasn't happened. Another tip is the coupons don't really expire - you can use them even if the date has passed. |

| Well I've always got some cream on my face daily---zit cream or scar creams LOL LOL.
WOW, you can use those even if the date expired! Sweet!
I think the reason it doesn't sound AS scary is everyone gets wrinkles and not everyone gets skin cancer so you assume your risk for one is less. |
