i’ve tried every f*cking anti-aging thing. my honest ratings (part 4) 👇🏻 1. Under-eye patches – Temporary hydration. They feel good, but that’s about it. 2. HPR pro shot – My skin LOVES this. Fine lines look softer, my skin looks smoother, and I can actually see a difference when I use it consistently. 3. Vitamin C – Brightens, protects against daily damage + supports collagen. This will always be in my routine. Linked the ones I love, I rotate them.  4. Facial cupping – Maybe some temporary depuffing? I’m not convinced beyond that. 5. Silk pillowcase – Less friction on my skin and hair and way fewer sleep creases. 6. Microcurrent – I actually see a lift when I’m consistent. Unfortunately, consistency is the problem. 7. Azelaic acid – So good for redness and uneven tone. Wish I started this sooner. Talked more about this below.  8. Collagen powder – There’s research behind it. Can I personally tell it’s working? Not really. Still taking it. Linked my two favorites  9. LED mask – This got rid of SO much of my redness. I’ve talked to so many other people who’ve noticed the same thing. Consistency really matters with this one. 10. Sculptra – I’m 43. I want collagen. This stimulates your body to make more of its own, which is exactly why I do it. 11. Glutathione – I take it for the antioxidant benefits, but seeing my actual lab numbers improve is what really sold me. Makes skin glow too. Azelaic acid has been SO good for my skin. What azelaic acid is good for: • Redness + rosacea-prone skin • Oily + acne-prone skin • Breakouts + clogged pores • Dark spots + post-acne marks • Uneven skin tone • Inflammation • Brighter, more even-looking skin Who I think should look into it: anyone dealing with redness, uneven tone, acne or lingering marks after breakouts. I started slowly, then worked up to using it with my tretinoin every third night using the sandwich method. Mine is prescription, but I linked the anua one bc I’ve heard REALLY good things about.
