Just turned 50. Can confirm OTC products don't do shit. I have a retinol script and that's the only thing that works on spots and lines. However, the moment I stop using it, my birth control caused spots come right back. Also, I feel you on the jawline, which is why I volunteered to be a model for jawline filler. 45 minutes of my time, a few photos, and I walked away with $4k of "product" to smooth out my jowls. It hurt like hell, but I'm happier with my face. I plan on doing a lower facelift because I am not where Justine is. Brava for her, but I don't want to look like a melted candle yet.
I feel like I should start a book club just so I can invite you to murder a cake for me.
My sister has been a retail manager for years and always has access to heavily discounted or free beauty products. I get a box every year for my birthday in June and at Christmas, filled with probably $1k worth of skincare, perfume, and makeup. I'm not sure the skincare really makes any difference but hell, I'm not paying for it. Although, I do think that I might be seeing a difference in forehead lines after using Strivectin ($$$), but my eye lines, sadly, nothing will unwrinkle those babies.
God, you are raw and funny, Jane. As a 71-year-old woman who has been working with an excellent esthetician since I was 50, I only use the products she recommends and they are not on the CVS shelf.
She says most of them are what you say: they don't do shit.

Ha -- wow, I'm curious about the jawline product. Glad you feel good about the results! We can't all be Justine...
Oil of Olay, baby!
