These reviews have been very helpful. However, all the reviews seem to be written by young women in their 20's and 30's. I still have great skin at 69 and would like to know of anyone who has used this product on "mature", but wrinkless skin?

Hello, Betty -- See my review that begins with "Yikes!" in the header. Like you, I have mature skin without any major issues. This mask just didn't work for me, though you very well might have better results. If you're looking for a product to keep your already-good skin looking great, and are willing to invest the money, I've found the Dr. Dennis Gross Daily Alpha Beta Peel to be a miracle-worker. It keeps skin firm, pores clear and tight, and makes skin positively radiant. Easy to use (morning only), but is now around $85 for a month's supply. (For that reason, some use it only every other day to save money, but the results are so amazing that I used it every day -- as it's meant to be used -- for several years before my budget simply wouldn't allow.) I had high hopes for the REN mask, and intend to keep using it until it's gone, but I'm not impressed thus far...

What I really liked about it is it did not make my skin thin.Also it has worked for my nails. Some moisturizers make the end of my nails split.This does not. I use the night cream 24°. I am not a model just a regular 60year old. I still have some wrinkles. I work with the public and get compliments on my skin.Mom taught us to take care of our skin.I started win cold cream.Do not smoke or drink and eat well and sleep well.

I am almost 63 years old.....I have no wrinkles.....I use the Active C on my face and they used to produce a retinol product I loved too....this a wonderful product and I use this every night....you will see a difference in the texture and brightness of your skin within a week. You do not need to use a great deal. People do not talk about how great Vitamin C is on your skin.

Lynda, I'm mid-fifties, been using the Obagi NuDerm gentle line for about 10 years-love it, has really helped my skin. Haven't tried luxe yet but plan to, as my skin is getting drier as I age. Young adults ask me about my skin care routine, and if they should begin in their 20's. I wish I had! Obagi recommends different product lines for different ages and issues. If you've tried luxe, let me know how you like it. BTW, I don't consider the line expensive, my products last about six months, and they work well, ultimately saving me $ over trying numerous other products.

Hi Carolyn! I have found that as I age and the wrinkles are deeper around the eyes that although Obagi is among the better medium priced facial systems, there is really nothing that has worked to eliminate deep wrinkles. They can be softened, but only a true aesthetic and expensive face lift by a Board Certified dermatologist can actually eliminate wrinkles as they can fill them with collegen while under sedation. I spent a lot of money on Botox and while it worked for 2-3 months it did not really have long term effects. However the partial facelift that I had while living in Caracus, Venezuela has permanently left me looking 10 years younger. Plus I also have been using a face sunscreen of 30-40 spf ever since. I am sorry that I thought that getting a tan would ever be worth it after I reached my 60's. If you have droopy upper or lower eyelids then consider having them done as that can take a lot of time off your face. If I could I would have the lower lid done. but even now don't forget the sunscreen on your face before you leave your house. Linda Boccia

I reviewed this last Oct. headlined "*....Nothing Special" by theresa dellacampagna. I am over 50 and have used many high/low quality face creams as a cosmetologist. I found this to be very low quality. Not sure about all the 5 star reviews. I think a 31 yo can get good results with Olay products. Some available at Costco for much less. Good luck if you try the snail slime.

What type of problems are you having? I bought this system a few months ago and have had no problems. I don't use it every day but after the first use to see how it worked and to get the right mix for me it has gone smoothly. I find I can apply makeup with this much faster. By the way I am 68 years old.

I'm not sure since I'm only 29 with no wrinkles yet, but I do notice the fine lines on my face seem smoother when taking it. The biggest change you will see is in your hair and nails as these will start to grow longer and stronger for sure, I also use collagen in conjunction with vit c and plain powder gelatin to get the most results as vit c is necessary for collagen absorption. Hope this helps! :)

I am 62 and love it. My Dermatologist recommend it. I am on my second bottle of both Am/pm facial lotion and the moisture lotion.

I used the regular cellex c when I younger (mid 40's-50) and got compliments on my skin; switched to other products as is my routine over the years; when I purchased the advanced skin tightening cream it was because my age had advanced; once again got compliments on my skinvery good productonly negative- made my skin a little rosy looking- could be a positive for some

I think this is the issue. I too am a bit older (49) and I wanted BE because of other women I saw who wore the product and looked amazing. This is what I have noticed. Those who look great are usually not fair and I would guess don't have dry skin. For me, I am fair and have very dry skin. I find I do not look good in just using the minerals. What has worked best for me is using Lancome underneath with the moisturizing mineral veil from BE as a powder. I think it really depends on your skin type and that no one product is good for everyone which is a bit sad as the women who look good with BE look amazing. To date, though the best product I have found for aging skin is in fact Lancome. I think this is the issue.

Hi Della, I am 76 years old and love boots #7 Lift & Luminate Serum that was recommended by my skin doctor. Not going to get rid of wrinkles of course but leaves the skin tighter and softer.

YES! I have been using it for at least 10 yrs and I'm 51. I just revealed my age to my neighbors who told me they thought I was only 42! I have very fair skin and rosacea, plus had cystic acne from teenager to into my late 20s. My skin has always been problematic; however, this is one of the BEST things I have ever put on my skin and even though the price has gotten ridiculous, I still find a way to buy at least 2 vials every year. I use very little of it and I make it last! I will use this until I die!

I'm 68 and have some wrinkle around my mouth and lower jaw. This help to know someone else used and had good luck with it. Thank you very much

I'm not sure if my answer is going to help but here's my 2 cents (and that maybe all it's worth, but I hope not.) I had early wrinkle development when I started using this - you know you wake up one morning and your upper lip and lower eyes look vaguely like that the crepe paper your Mom used to hang at your birthday parties. Not deep groves, I'm fair, really fair, like pale blue redhead fair, so I'd always used some level of sunscreen and didn't smoke but 3 teenagers later and alot of lip pursing had obviously begun to catch up with me. Personally I saw a fairly quick softening of these lines maybe a week or two? And if I forget to use it for awhile I see them creeping back so it's definitely holding them at bay. I can't speak to it's effectiveness if your lines are fairly deep - my gorgeous friends who can tan definitely got the lines deeper than I did and I know they use this AND a line filler treatment under makeup. Either way it's a heck of a product and doesn't cost the hundreds of dollars some other lines will charge you. I always recommend trying this product and if it doesn't give you the level of plumping you need I'd consider using a topical lip/line filler to keep things like lipsticks or lipliners to keep from bleeding (my friends #1 grievance).

This product is for "mature" skin. I am 74, a retired nurse, esthetician. This product, and the corresponding day cream are very good. The day cream also has an SPF, which is very good. I have used very high line products, like Perricone, and Peter Thomas Roth, and I like these products just as well.
