for the past 2 years I have been using cheap stuff, and I can absolutly tell the difference. It goes beyond ageing 2 years and now being 58. I now see the lines and my face looks dry. Yes it is cold and winter and I have not been drinking enough water. The bottom line is the cheap stuff does not mositure the skin enough. IMHO

Dove soap and water. finish with Netrogenia (spelling) day cream with #15 sunblock - all year round. I use it at night also, very little or my dog will lick it off. In Walmart it costs about $11.00, it lasts me 6 months - I have the same problem with throid. When I put this cream on my skin say ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
