Roughly how much would you estimate that you spend on actives/raw ingredients each year?

And what actives are usually on your list?

I spend roughly $225. to $250. a year. That covers all my DIY needs for personal use and gifting.

Oils
Shea Butter
Vitamin A,C & E
Co-Q-10
Glutathione
Niacinamide
Panthenol
Phytokeratin
Peptides
Amino Acids
Hyaluronic Acid
Zinc Oxide

I'll occasionally try something new, but that's my go to list.

At this point my only traditional 'active' is some form of DIY C. I have some LAA that I add to my DNA from NCN. A bottle lasts me about 5 months so it's probably a total of $125.00 a year on the DNA and LAA.
My expense is Ageless Secret Gold. $75.00 every two months. Worth it - it's my secret weapon.
There was a woman I met at A4M in Las Vegas. She has been using Ageless Secret Gold for 9 years and she was stunning - I mean stunning!!!!! and almost 60 years old. Head turner. She told me that it was ALL because of ASG and how it had changed her life and what it meant to her. There is something transforming that happens with ASG and it shows up more and more. Meeting this woman was major validation for me. (She is not an employee or anyway affiliated - always that question is asked).
I am three years into this product and I can see what she means. I wouldn't spend this kind of money if I didn't know it was working. Powerful.
But I do like oils - marula, baobob....Nourishment for the skin (from inside and out) is important for me. I do use exfoliating products and sometimes glycolic acid.
