Please recommend a firming cream (face) in the $50 range. I will be on the other side of 45 next month and so my the skin on my face is just not as firm as I would like it to be. I don't have many wrinkles just a certain amount of sagging and my skin type is fairly dry with some oiliness in t-zone.

StriVectin has a great firming neck cream that I love. I'm not sure on cost, I always get a sample of it when I can. I know they have great face creams as well, I just don't remember what the call the product...
Hope that helps a bit!

Yes, that helps Monica. There are so many products available it becomes overwhelming. I prefer a recommendation from a real person instead of an advertisement and will check out the line, thank you!

That Strivectin neck cream starts at $95..and is in a jar, actively breaking down any beneficial ingredients with every exposure to air.
It's also little more than some very expensive moisturizer. You can read more about it here:

You'd d best with Retin A or Retinol at a effective percentage, such as a cream from Paula's Choice Resist line to actively stimulate collagen and bring a C serum into the fold, which is cell communicating. Timeless has a lovely C serum formula that is inexpensive. I'd store it in the fridge.

CeraVe PM pairs nicely and brings Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid to plump skin. There is a $2.00 off coupon on their website.

Paula also has a fantastic Resist toner that helps retain your skin's moisture barrier and is packed with antioxidants, as is her Resist Tinted Sun Protection, which is a must when using Retinol.

AHA's and BHA's also stimulate collagen. Plumping skin and keeping it moisturized and protected while stimulating collagen is where I'd direct my funds and focus.

Once skin is beyond a certain point, professional treatments are where you would see more dramatic results. Professional grade peels or Ultherapy, for example are both non- invasive firming options. Best of luck to you.

I am a huge fan of Paula's Choice products. They're all really well formulated with lots of anti-aging/skin beneficial ingredients.

I actually use the CeraVe PM that Rozberry mentioned on my neck and on my face if I have an occasional dry patch for whatever reason.

I really appreciate your suggestions Rozberry and Leuca! I will let you know what I go with and how they are working. I was also so good about staying out of the sun up until a few years ago...go figure. Time to get disciplined about wearing sunscreen again!
