I hate to see an empty community. Here's some skincare babble

Random skincare opinions/experiences/babble that may or may not spark discussion:

I am 45 with very dry skin. Like, super dry. Even the cleaners explicitly for very dry skin (like the Cerave ones, for example) dry me out like crazy. The only cleanser that doesn't make my skin feel hot and tight immediately is the Glow Recipe avocado one, and yes I am cross about it because I don't want to like them. For reasons of I'm a contrarian and hate a gimmick. But it's so goooood.

I get on well with snail mucin products. I swear they shave years off my face. I'm using the CosRX snail mucin cleanser right now (it is more drying than the Glow Recipe but not as bad as most cleansers). I think I see more results from the snail mucin serums (from any brand) than the cleanser, but it isn't bad.

This isn't skincare, but I have given up on undereye concealer entirely because I have never tried one that didn't look worse than my eyes looked without it. So any recs from other scaly old hags with massive eye bags are welcome, whether it's for good undereye

skincare or a concealer.

Um. Crap. I can't think of anything else. Quick! Someone say something about skincare!
