I'm 56, on Steroids, and Recently Lost Weight
I'm in my 50s. I have lupus, and prednisone is constantly thinning my skin. Than, last May, I lost my gallbladder and, with it, about 20 pounds thanks to having to completely change my diet and eating habits. My face was beginning to resemble a sharpei. I wasn't ready for that, so I decided to get serious. For me, that meant spending some (for me) serious money on one of those creams with the white board commercials you can't pause or come back to. And it is actually a really good product. But it's five times the cost of this one and doesn't work as well. I also tried the stuff that costs about eleventy billion smackers and works as well as the drug store brand in the blue tin. And then I researched snail mucin and found this. Paid full price, thinking no way could something this inexpensive work. It's better than the infomercial one and way better than the super-expensive stuff. And the price makes it nearly painless to try. For me, it softens my skin and makes it a little thicker and more flexible. It's never going to put the baby fat back in my cheeks, but my neck wattle and jowls are noticeably lessened after about three weeks of using it. After the first week, I stopped using everything else except an inexpensive retinol cream and an HLA serum on the skin around my lips, both once a week. I don't look 30, but my skin has rebounded from the weight loss. Recommend trying this if you've lost weight and want to help your skin rebound.
