Skincare in Early 40s…HELP!

[dewbot]

I am 43 years old. I have been using Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior serum and Age-Arrest Moisturizer. The moisturizer is no longer available and the serum keeps increasing in price (over $30 more than when I started buying it!). I am wanting to try new anti-aging products, but don’t know where to start! I have normal to dry skin and hate sticky feeling creams and serums. Looking for mid-price range ($75) products. Any recommendations are appreciated!!

I love the Strivectin line. I’m in my 40s and they have great anti aging products.

@dewbot , Some of the best “anti-aging” products aren’t marketed as anti-aging and are great quality and wallet friendly! Best thing anyone can do for skincare is sunscreen!!! Mineral or chemical either is good just depends on the individual. I prefer mineral myself. Every drugstore and Walmart,Target, etc carry fantastic inexpensive sunscreen. Sunscreen that I personally use from Sephora are: Kosas DreamBeam Silicone-Free Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 with Ceramides and Peptides , Supergoop! Mineral Mattescreen SPF 40 Mineral Sunscreen 1.5 oz / 45 mL . 
Same goes for moisturizer. From Olay, CerVa, Nuetrogena, They all have good quality ingredients. You need ceramides and peptides along with the moisturizer. Some really great ones from Sephora that I use on my normal skin: The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA 3.3 oz/ 100 mL , The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + HA Serum The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Hydrating Face Serum The INKEY List Peptide Moisturizer 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream 1.7 oz / 50 mL Drunk Elephant Protini™ Polypeptide Firming Refillable Moisturizer Youth To The People Superfood Air-Whip Lightweight Face Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Refillable Moisturizing Cream with Squalane 1.7 oz / 50 mL  a really great way to try any brand is to check and see if they have a starter bundle or mini version before investing too much! Best of luck!
