Appreciate the reply. I left out the dark spots because those predated the weight change. Considering a lactic acid serum for them and checked compatibility with the retinoid. It seems fine if not applied together. Also picked up a ceramide and hyaluronic acid moisturizer to layer underneath. Open to better options if anyone has them. Microneedling keeps coming up in groups so I may look into that further.
Looking for suggestions. In my 50s, began the medication in April and dropped 20 pounds in two months. It has worked better than expected and I still have about 15 pounds to go. My face now looks much older though, with new crepey texture especially visible when smiling. A few lines were already starting before the weight came off. I read up on options and began one peptide product a couple weeks ago. I also arranged an online visit and expect to receive a retinoid cream soon. Hoping for everyday skincare steps or other peptides that have helped others in the same spot. Avoiding any in-office treatments because of cost.
