Hi, another difficult request from me.
I want a really strong effective anti-wrinkle cream for my crow's feet/forehead where I never break out but each and every little ingredient has to be all natural, no traces of synthethics, and....
no argireline, no idebenone, no methylparabens (no parabens) no glycols, no synthetics at all.
And I don't want alcohol at all in it.
I was looking at Eminence Organics, and believe it or not, each ingredient is all natural. So many companies claim to be completely all natural and they sneak in synthetics in small amounts to preserve the product.
But Eminence is expensive and I don't know how effective it is for fine lines. I'm needing something like some strong retinol or something active and strong for the lines, because I've tried glycolics, peels, AHA, lactic acid for years and years and I'm starting a strong Vit. C serum but am wanting a cream for night time. I do use sunscreen during the day on the forehead area also, I use "UV Natural" brand.
Thanks! |

| As it is, the most effective anti-wrinkle/anti-aging creams seem to be expensive -- at least the ones that most people post back that they are seeing results from using. As far as 100% natural products, you can probably make your own to ensure that they don't have parabens, etc. in them, but I don't know how effective they would be. |

| If you want a strong retinoid, I don't think you'll find something 100% natural. The ones that you can use are any of the green creams, the avene retinoids, and Rx ones like renova or retin-a. You could also try copper peptides. For something "natural", look into frownies too, they make them for the crows feet and forehead areas as well as the nasolabial areas. |

THanks to both of you : ) I do have frownies, and they do help, I guess I'll just continue on with my Vit. C serum and see if it helps over time, it should build collagen hopefully.
Has anyone used Eminence skincare and gotten results for fine line reduction?
Maybe I just need to invest in the Baby Quasar thing, but has anyone really seen improvement in fine lines? Thanks.
I can't do Botox, either, so that's out. |

| Dr Hauschka's Rose day cream is great - very nourishing and moisturizing. Or I would recommend Primavera's Nourishing day cream - excellent for all ages especially maturing skin. They are both all natural, organic and biodynamic and you can't get better than that. You may also want to incorporate a facial oil such as Rosehip or Evening Primrose or Pomegranate for the evening as they will help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and age spots etc. |

Hi, luvsgracy
Out of curiosity, why do you need the actives to be all natural and not synthetic?

How about emu oil? or camellia oil? or argan oil?
I think if you add frankincense and rose, to some oil, you'd have a pretty nice face oil for your forehead.
have you looked at any aromatherapy books?
I'm quite interested in getting a book on facial acupuncture and buying an acupuncture pen, too. Apparently it gives a real lift and is used as an alternative to Botox and fillers. |

Thank you Wildflower for great recommendations!
Arielle, the reason I need all natural is several reasons, I have severe asthma when I put synthetics on my face or body, I'm not sure which ones cause it but they all seem to cause some asthma to some degree so I avoid them all.
Catski, aromatherapy sounds interesting, and I want to learn, but I'm not a big "scents" fan, but I wish I could learn more someday about all of it, I love all natural things.
Thanks everyone, I'll check out everything.
yep, I have Camellia oil, but it really doesn't even do that much for me it seems, it seems somehow a little drying to me if that's possible..
Once I had an oil, it started with a "K", and I can't remember the name, I got it from a website which no longer exists called "beauty-take-out" and it was better than any oil I've ever ever tried for fine lines - if anyone knows the kind of oil it was please let me know, I want some more. |

No, it wasn't Kakui Nut oil, but thanks for trying to help 
The problem I'm seeing in Dr. Hauschka's ingredients, is that I think they contain a little alcohol, which to most may not be bad, but my skin really really hates even the tiniest amount of it if it's the "bad" drying alcohol, even if it's in a rich cream.
Jurlique's products are not all natural ingredients, but I wish they were. They have some synthetics in there if I'm not mistaken.
I'll definitely try the Emu Oil.
I was thinking of Weleda also, but they also have alcohol in all their products.
So far Eminence is the only one I've seen without alcohol, without any synthetics at all, and without Aloe (I'm using ALoe on my T-zone area but I don't want it in anything for fine lines because it is always very drying to my skin - but I have a very oily T-zone so I love Aloe on that area).
But Eminence skin care is really expensive. I've been looking up creams on google by listing ingredients in the "advance search" area and also listing ingredients I don't want and it's helping a little.
Thanks everyone. I'm thinking of buying an Eminence moisturizer, and adding some "active" ingredients to it that I can buy from a website (like Co-Q10, etc.), and adding some emu oil and Sea Kelp gel, and see how it goes. |

Hi luvsgracy.
I had asthma recently. Horrible. I got rid of it by using EFT.
If you look up Gary Craig's EFT website, you will find quite a few testimonials from people who have dealt with respiratory issues using EFT.
worth a look.
Good Luck. |

Thank you catski! I'll look into it.
I just saw a website called "Simply Devine Botanicals" that looked good as far as ingredients that are all "natural" in lotions, but I think they contain MSM, and can't that be drying to the skin? I thought MSM was sulphur?
i also saw a website, the names of the products are "Honey Girl Organics", has anyone used them? They sound all natural and sounds like there's no preservatives, so I'm wondering if these products are erally safe, but I'm getting t complete list of ingredients: I emailed them.
if anyone has used the lotions from the above two companies i just mentioned please let me know what you thought of them : )
Anyway, i ordered samples for one dollar each from Simply Devine Botanicals, so I'm excited to get the samples. |
