LOL! My brother gave me a basket full of Alpha Hydroxy creams, moisturizers, astringents, night creams, eye creams, etc. for my 50th birthday (as a joke, of course).
I used to do the complete Erno Laszlo treatment - but for the past thirty years, I have used L’Oreal moisturizing cream and night cream. I love it.
L’Oreal is made by Lancome’. They simply use lesser amounts in the product. Just as Clinque’ is made by Estee Lauder.
Another very good product, over the counter is ROC. And there is still much to be said for “strivectin” line..though costly initially it does work and last a good six months.
I worked in cosmetics for several years.
