Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me which product would be best to stop the beginnings of smoker's lines. Yes, I'm a smoker...have had a couple of, ahem, difficult months recently and took my bad habit a bit further. I was never a heavy smoker before (about 3-5 a day) but it picked up due to stress (etc). I would like to counteract the damage that I've done to myself recently. And I swear I'm gonna quit soon!

There must be something fabulous out there! Share your experiences with me:)

Thanks!

Nothing that I have found yet works on these buggers, other than Retin, especially if you start on RA when then are still "fine lines".

That's what I want to do...get the little suckers before they get a good grip. How about copper peptides? Peeps seem to think the world of SB.

Nothing can get rid of those lines other than if you quit smoking and change your lifestyle. But for now you can use moisturizers every night to improve on these...

I think there was some discussion on lip lines in the Lightstim thread over in the Tools/DIY forum ... Smile

I've seen a number of recommendations to use eye cream around your lips as well. CP's are supposed to be amazing, but I haven't tried them so I can't speak to their effectiveness.

What I have been using and have noticed a tremendous difference with is DMAE gel underneath KH's Vita-A-Kombi. I have yucky skin on my chest. It is really the only place that I have lines, but the DMAE and the Vita-A-Kombi 2% are helping them to diminish. They don't disappear completely, but they are invisible after I use the products ... and they are gone until the next morning. I'm hoping that with regular use, I can get rid of them for good !!! I use the PSF DMAE, but I've heard great things about SB's TTT as well. I am going to try that one next after I'm finished the PSF DMAE.

I have been using Retin-A 0.1% proactively on my upper lip area. I also have used it to get rid of a kind of deep line that was forming--it seems to be working so far. The line is now barely visible
