I need a few recommendations on some creams

[Dznypal]

I’m looking for some creams or advice on a few things
First I have really dark circles under my eyes. Good thing I wear glasses since they sort of help hide them. I think most of the issue is from itching my eyes so bad
Next woukd be for wrinkles on my forehead
Last would be I noticed I have chin hairs that I’d like to get rid of.
I think that’s about all
Thanks

My mom uses Estee Lauder creams and they really work well and she has used Estee Lauder products for a long time and it's no secret why Estee Lauder products are very good because their creams are excellent for things like wrinkles and other things. My mom also used Oil Of Olay and she thought it also did a good job and they used to have "not sure if they still make it today" Night Of Olay cream that was made for dark circles around eyes and wrinkles. You might also want to check Victoria's Secret for face creams and those also work marvelous as well

Thanks for the recommendation. I like to know what others have to say before I try it
About how long did your mom use these products before she noticed a difference

One brand to avoid for beauty products and creams is Nutrogena because my mother bought some Nutrogena beauty products and it gave my mother a nasty rash and then she quit using them. But as I mentioned my mother always believed in Estee Lauder products and has never had a problem using them. And if you go to Macy's they often will have gift sets on sale during the summer and Christmas that have face creams and are worth buying

I'd suggest tweezers or waxing for the chin hairs and plucking/waxing as you see them unless you're willing to invest in something like laser treatment.

You're not going to remove wrinkles with cream. You might reduce them. A good skin care routine including a firming type cream would be good to help. There are so many good product lines out. Im a fan of the Korean skin care routine and Medicube has a good line product line I use.

Maybe an antihistamine for your itchy eyes?

I watch YouTube videoa about beauty products. The two I watch most often are Dr. Drey and the drugstore dermatologist. But note: I take everything with a grain of salt. I also visit another forum where there is a beauty thread. I find there is no "miracle" product. I don't buy as many eye creams anymore and just use the SPR facial moisturizer that I use on my face (CeraVe AM and PM). I've heard/read that Mad Hippie eye cream is supposed to be good. But....who knows.

100% agree. None of the products you see advertised are actually going to give you the results you want. The best you can hope for is a smoother, slightly plumper appearance. I’ve never found anything that works on the dark circles because as has been implied here, the cause is something internal - more than skin deep (often it is allergies). Learn to work with concealer if they really bother you.

The appearance of one’s skin is largely genetic, dependent on overall physical health and sun exposure over the years. That’s just reality. My hope for you is that you don’t waste tons of money and dashed hopes chasing results that will never completely satisfy. I wish you well.

Dark circles would probably be taken care of with any cream or gel with retinol. Look for it in the top three active ingredients of OTC products. You can also get a prescription for a higher dose product from your dermatologist.

By the hairs of your chinny chin chin?
Poetic Wax does the job well and is extremely cost effective. They used to give you a plastic spatula to apply product but no longer do. I use a disposable plastic knife or tongue depressor.
I thank several generations of women on my maternal side for an abundance of hair on my head and face.

I use several Neutrogena products and like them. I have had no issues. Like any skin care product, some people may have an allergic reaction and others will be fine. You can do a patch test before putting any new product on your face. Also sometimes it takes a while for your skin to get used to certain potent ingredients, such as retinol, and you may have some minor irritation at first. It’s best to initiate use gradually, starting with a lower concentration and use moisturizer. If you have sensitive skin, stick with fragrance-free products.

IME, you need to try a bunch of different products to find one that works well for you. I use a dermaplaner to remove facial hair.

If someone is allergic to a product depends on a person. Just because your mother had a rash from Neutrogena does not mean the original poster will. I have very sensitive skin and Neutrogena is one of the few things that has not been a problem for me. I have broken out with many other brands (Aveeno caused a major breakout 2 different times - thought it was an older bottle the first time so bought a new one and the same thing happened. Estee Lauder was a no-go for me. Oil of Olay always made my skin feel heavy and greasy). So just because a product is good for one person does not mean it is for all. It is a bit of trial and error.

Like others have said, there is no miracle cream/lotion to take care fo wrinkles. There are injectables like Botox, but those are pricy and you need to keep up maintenance, usually every few months.

I use the Lancome Genifique serum and their Absolue soft cream. Been using them for years and have been very happy with my results.
