[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The Littles" is a Drunk Elephant sampler that, while not divided into day and night, is a good mix of their products.

I purchased this about a year ago when I was in the same boat as you, wanting to get serious about skincare and upgrade my products. I had previously just used a cleanser day/night, moisturizer, eye cream, and sunscreen in the morning. Sometimes an over the counter retinol (Neutrogena brand). I was 40 and had good skin but figured I should try what was out there.

This led to me using nearly the entire Drunk Elephant line for most of the past year. Sure, my skin looked a bit better, but I got really tired of just having so many products. It felt so high maintenance and not my style.

So a few months back I pared down to a cleanser, drugstore moisturizer, eye cream, sunscreen in the morning, and prescription retinol at night. And you know what? My skin has never looked better. I get more compliments now than I did when using a pricy skin care line. [b]Sunscreen and prescription retinol are really the only skin care items with data to support anti-aging effects.[/b][/quote]
Again, that’s not true. Vitamin C. Copper. Niacin. Q10. There’s a bunch of stuff that works.

OP, I’ve never had a full skincare line work for me. I just go for the gentlest thing - unscented, usually. My skin is getting drier so after using an unscented garnier wash, I use the Eucerin Q10 cream at night, sometimes I use my retinol. I use Clinique’s vitamin c serum and Olay sensitive skin spf every morning. That’s about it.[/quote]
