Him: Why are you laughing?
Me: I'm just laughing at us. I don't want to get old, but I can see how it's going to be. I have to laugh. 
Him: Well, the good news is you're stuck with me. My quirks are only going to get quirkier, so buckle up.

Heidi Waldorf, MD

About skincare products and supplements in particular. 

But [Heidi] Waldorf hits the bull’s-eye: “Realistic expectations are key. From a long-term and cost-benefit perspective, a gentle non-soap cleanser, moisturizer, prescription retinoid, and sunscreen, with or without an over-the-counter, science-based anti-aging topical cosmeceutical (for example, peptides or antioxidants), will do more for you than a supplement and for less money.”

Editor's comment: Most skincare products are bullshit. Stick with the basics and drink lots of water. As for the retinoid, my dermatologist recommends Differin gel, available OTC - no prescription needed. I use it every other day so a little tube lasts for quite a long time.
