what's the best treatment? ( barring having it filled..)
When I had botox, it gave me a nice brow lift, and the trough across the middle of my forehead sort of disapeared. But I cant/ dont want to afford Botox constantly...
I use strivectin on it at night and spf 25 with vit c during the day.
I disguise it with Pure Luxe line eraser, which is wonderful stuff.
But.... there' s more I could be doing, right?
What would you advise? |

 m, retinoids could help. Those are popular here for line reduction it seems. good luck  |

| I am no skincare maven, but Green Cream has helped my forehead lines a lot. So I guess here's a vote for retinol products. I use GC because it's convenient to obtain online and I don't have to hassle with prescriptions. |

, thanks for that input. I noticed 'green cream' mentioned here, and I didnt know what it was. I just googled it and found out!
it sounds promising, very.
I wonder if it would be more effective than Skin Bio's copper peptides, which I've also just been reading about.
Anyone have any view on that?
(is green cream available from this site? I searched for it here and it offered me a foot fungis gel... )  |

| I haven't seen GC offered at EDS, but I sure would be a regular buyer of it if it was! |

Hi, I'm new here.  )
Anyway, here's what I would do. I'd get the botox again (maybe just one or two more times). While the forehead is "frozen," treat it with prescription retinoids (Retin A or Tazorac) every night. Retinoids help rebuild collagen and elastin. If you use them while your forehead cant move (via botox), you're skin will have a better chance to rebuild itself and plump up the line.
Just my 2 cents. |

| that sounds like a good idea, dangerkitty. It'll give me immediate gratification AND a longer term strategy, which sounds prety ideal. |
