Skincare routines with:
The Ordinary Resveratrol Serum 3% + Ferulic Acid 3%

Resveratrol o

Dupe for a highly popular Lancome face serum regime, compromising the Genifique Youth activating serum first, followed by the Rénergie HCF Serum. However as I found out on WIMJ, some of the active ingredients in the Rénergie HCF are actually quite low, such as the 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid at only 0.35% (negligible amount). So i worked out an alternative regime with more cost efficient products containing similar ingredients to the Lancome regiment, but with higher concentrations of the evidence-based active ingredients. My recently developed test regime (let me know what u think): 1. Missha Time Revolution (Bifida Lysate 28%, Sodium hyaluronate 0.4%) 2. Revolution Skincare X sali Must C (Ascorbyl glucoside 7%, Nicotinamide 3.5% + Sodium hyaluronate 0.25%) 3. The Ordinary (Resveratrol and Ferulic Acid 3% + 3%) ...followed by moisturiser as needed during the day +/- SPF 15 The Lancôme regime recommended by Lancôme is as follows: - Lancôme Genifique Youth activating serum (Bifida Lysate - 6.8%, Sodium Hyaluronate 1%) - Lancôme rénergie HCF Serum (Sodium Hyaluronate 1%, Niacinamide 1.8%, 3-0 Ethyl Ascorbic Acid 0.35%, Ferulic Acid 0.4%) I'm not interested in ingredients that disguise/cover-up the signs of ageing, nor those that have no publicly available scientific data to back up their claims. Rather my attention is on those with some evidence from the scientific literature, those demonstrating a "soothing" effect on the underlying cellular genetic changes/markers incurred while we age. Some other details.... Orally I take (doing this for 6 years now): Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) / Nicotinamide Mononucleutide (NMN) - 1g a day TMG supplement Astaxanthin - 6mg twice a day Small dose of Fisetin / Quercetin / Curcumin / Transresveratrol in liposomal form by Renuebyscience.com Fish oil EPA/DHA Isotretinoin (roaccutane) 10mg twice a week (micro dose), and only intermittent weeks, I don't take this continuously. Vitamin C slow release 1000mg a day Blueberry extract as a supplement for anthocyanins Hydrolysed Collagen peptides dissolved in water, 1g a day with the Vit C Hyaluronic Acid dissolved in water *Much more convenient when u organise it all in a weekly pill organiser. Lifestyle: I usually aim for the mediterranean diet, and try to avoid red meat and saturated fat, while eating colourful vegetables. Avoid alcohol, except very occasional glass of red wine aerobic/anerobic exercise +/- HIIT Intermittent fasting Avoid strong sun Am 40, but others are shocked when they hear my age, and I get comments saying I look more like 25.
