Anyone used Strivectin or similar for face? (sm)

I am looking for something to help with mostly discoloration/sun spots, and wrinkles. I see all the ads for Strivectin and such but hate to spend that much without knowing it will actually work. Has anyone used it and was it any good? Or can you recommend anything else? Thanks!

Egg on his face as in him saying
that the YOUNG women were going to go in droves to vote for her as they did not want to take care of their own selves, either getting a husband to take care of them or else having government to do. I know older women voted that way, their choice but I said egg on his face for making such remarks on and on about how YOUNG women (under 35) were going in that direction. Has absolutely nothing to do with her leading- has everything to do with a statement completely false. Now are you still confused?
Egg on face
I personally know of at least 10 to 15 ladies that feel it is the man's place to take care of them and that is all they want out of life -- they are between 38 and 50. So now what do you say -- sorry I do not want this lady voted for because she is a woman, and I definitely do not want her leading us. But that is for the political board and not here. But egg on face -- you have some now.
Maybe take it for it's face value
and just accept it in the spirit in which it may be given. Only you know the relationship you have with her. She may have just gotten the proverbial bug up you know where and decided since she got a discount to use it. It may be an olive branch of some sort. Who knows. I'd take it as an olive branch unless and until she proves otherwise.
What Do You Have On Your Face?
I wear very natural looking make up - but today I was cracking up when getting read at how much crap is on my face.
After washing ::
Serum
Moisturizer (both things Dr Brandt)
Face Primer (either Smashbox or Sephora brand depending on mood)
Foundation (tarte with SPF 30)
Blush/Bronzer
Eyeliner (MAC)
Kohl (MAC)
Mascara (fiberwig)
No lipstick- allergies.
What is usually on your face???
Face
Usually nothing more than a little chapstick since I work from home. If I'm leaving the house, a little foundation but right now, nothing. I even forgot the chapstick this morning LOL.
Face Creams
I was wondering if any one has any good suggestions for face creams. I use to use the Mary Kay face cream line, but I would like to try something else. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
face pain
Need to know if anyone else has face pain. It is under my eyes and on the side of my nose. Sometimes it is so bad I could scream. It feels like sinuses but CT scan was normal. Only goes away with ibuprofen. How long can I take ibuprofen for?
face pain
thanks
What a face! Sweet!
shingles on face
About 4 years ago, I had a mastoidectomy the middle of May. The middle of June, I came in exposure range with a child with chickenpox at Wal-Mart, and 2 weeks later I developed shingles. Could have been coincidence, but I figure stress related, and I, too, have hypothyroidism. No other testing was done, but it hurt so bad I couldn't even touch my hair let alone my head. I had it on right forehead, bridge of nose, and up through scalp.
By the way, something else that really helps with the healing process and pain of it all is Pantothenic acid capsules from the herbal store.
What a face! Love him!
I think we are blessed to share our lives with these animals, they love so unconditionally. My heart breaks when I hear about animal abuse. 
What a wise looking face.
I'm sorry about your husband's death. You must both miss him very much.
Well maybe the body but NO WAY that face.
I'd rather be fat and pretty. LOL
She looks to have had a face lift that
did not go well. She has not appeared anywhere in 7 years so quite a different look than when I last saw her.
Keep your hands off your face
and be very gentle with the skin around your eyes and face. I see other people rub their eyes and faces vigorously when they're tired, and when the hands come down, I see wrinkles around the eyes. I'm 45 and people think I'm as young as 26. I do have the dark circles, which I have to cover with 16-hour foundation in a shade lighter than my regular foundation. Then I set with powder. I sometimes apply a dab of pink powder to the darkest areas or the inside corner area. This is what the makeup artist from What Not To Wear does to counter darkness. Preparation H is supposed to shrink bags.
How often can she wash her face? sm
Can you imagine having to take all of those, or even 1/2, off first? What a job.
Oh my gosh - what a cute face and
what rich colors. Those ears look so soft.
That's one handsome beagle!
I bet beagles like games where you hide their favorite treat or toy and they have to sniff it out.
I just had to splash icewater on my face!
Doncha just hate the afternoon run downs? Coffee just doesn't work on me for some reason...all it does is make me pee but doesn't jazz me up or anything. I'm actually looking forward to the cool weather because for some reason THAT is what gets me going and feeling frisky. :-D
Several have come forward to plaster their face on TV
and apparently he inappropriately touched some of them so yes he is on the wanted list. You would think by the time women get to be, oh say 17 or 18, that they would have the sense to know when something really wrong as in this case. One lady shown long enough in the tooth to know much better!!
Yep, I agree. I should have said "fear you to your face"(nm)
x
Yes they do. And the man is always portrayed with a big smile on his face and being SM
the stud ready to perform. There is no talk about any bad odor or offending anyone.
what? get in your face? that's why i started with HAHA
i suppose this is the trouble with typing you can't hear my tone. I certainly was not "in your face" and i thought my last paragraph about you never know was not derogatory or rude or anything
im sorry if it came off that way, not intended.
He is adorable...he just has a boxer face to me...
not pointy like some pits are...
Yes, this is also true: With smaller ones in the face..
they use laser nowadays, before that just electricity or a saline injection.
Had the same thing happen with face cream
I just happened to open the box before I got to the register. Instead of Neutogena, someone had swapped with Suave. If the packages open easily, I always check the contents. I love/hate that store. Last weekend I got a whole buggy full of groceries and there are only 2 lanes open out of 20. The only others were self checkout. I had to bag my items and place them on the floor because my buggy is full and there is no place to pull the items out of the buggy until you scan them. I let loose on the asst. manager that was standing nearby and she said they just couldn't get any help. I said well, maybe if you paid more, but then wait! they probably make more than I do as a MT anyway! 
lol Folks, she has an excuse why she'll never face
Besides, we all recognize the ridiculousness of this type of boasting control.
I need some heavy duty face cream...
…I have some areas on my face that are extremely dry, around my hair line, around my nose and I have used several creams trying to soften these areas up. Sometimes I even flake on my eyelids like I have sunburn and I use dandruff shampoo on my eyebrows because if not they will flake- no dandruff in the hair, though. I know this sounds awful but this is getting on my last nerve. I have put petroleum jelly on my face overnight- still dry in these patches. Does anyone else have something like this and if so any remedies? Thanks
I almost went blind from it as I broke out on half of my face and they
were invading my cornea but never penetrated through. I had them actually while on the delivery table with my son!! It was frightening to say the least, I looked like a monster for about 1 week, started healing after week 2 and then had terrible pain weeks 2 and 3. I was popping 800 Motrin without even looking at the clock, the only time in my life I was a pill popper!! Anyhow still can't tweeze my eyebrow on that area without strange neuralgia, when I get tired or stressed I feel the tingling, feels like my eyelid is drooping but no residual effects other than that. If it ever happens again (this was 16 years ago so knock on wood) I will just go somewhere with a bottle and drink myself to sleep for 3 weeks.
I am about 5Ɗ" and weight about 125 and I my face looks exactly as you say drawn and sunken.
not sure what weight to go to to get rid of that look but I am sick of it.

I personally have a naturally round face...sm
so, no I don't think extra weight looks good ON ME, and I have enough of it right now. It all boils down to personal preference, I guess. Like with most things of this nature.
Does Elidel work on very dry skin on the face?
An
Nice snow face! He's been rootin' for something!
He is so cute! What kind of a dog is he? Doncha love it when they really go to town out there in the snow, just having a little ol' blast for themselves?! Glad you were able to capture it on film for us!
Awwww, what a precious, sweet face!
Thanks for sharing!
Agreed---very sweet smoochable face!
At least SOMEONE is having fun in all this junk!
that is the scary thing - lets face it -
I have lived well over half my life and reading the obituaries (I have no idea why I do this) I see younger and younger people - 50s, early 60s - dying all the time. What my daughter apparently doesn't realize is that I might not have 10 years left - actually she should - a 52-year-old woman that worked with her father-in-law recently collapsed at work - died later at hospital of AAA - very little symptoms.
I love that short snout face too..sm
It is the blood line I guess because his daddy has the short snout like him too.
I thought her face looked like she had Yorkie ...sm
in her. She is so pretty. I would love to see the pups all grown up now. What was the father of the pups? Yorkie, Shih Tzu, etc? I bet they are cuties too.
Time to become a woman, face the truth...
and not be patted on the a$$ like a little girl....not heartless at all, but some women need to have it put out in front of them as it is, not sugar coated with a ribbon on it.
I have sat here with tears running down my face, astonished
I had already heard the buzz about Simon talking about this person but had not seen. What an absolute joy to hear this. I thank you so much for sending. I will definitely forward to my daughter first and from there it travels on. A true jewel, she is.
I agree, depends on face shape....I'm not overweight
but I have a fat face! lol
Do you think you look better with a little extra weight as you age so your face doesnt look as thin.
Just curious as to what you think.
I love watching that woman's face, she is overcome. nm

Good for you! This one looks a little like the breed of dog, Brussels Griffon in the face!!! NM
xx
you use the word Geez and you put a frown face in post

All spanking does is make kids respect you to your face (sm)
it does not teach them anything at all. When my kids were very young and I could not reason with them, they did occasionally get a swat to get them to listen to me, but once they are old enough to reason, there is no reason to use physical force on them. I am telling you, all it does is raise sneaky kids.
People don't choose their face...plus she's kind of pretty! sm
Sometimes the shallowness of people overwhelms me. Why can't we just give credi where it is due and admit the woman has a great body, especially for her age, or just say nothing? Why do we need to insult her? I do have a very pretty face and I do need to lose weight but I don't feel a need to hurt anyone else to make myself feel better.
Did U think Kelly Pickler's face looked different on Am Idol?
Numbness/tingling/slight swelling in face
I had a 1-hour massage 2 days ago. I have problems most with my neck and upper back being tight and sore, limited ROM...wonder why?? lol
This morning I had a fullness in the right supraclavicular area, kind of fluidy, and a sense of it being "full" but no pain. Later on I noted numbness, tingling and very slight swelling in the right side of my face.
As far as I know, I didn't get a bug bite or eat something I am allergic to. This happened last year two or three times, but much more swelling and numbness (looked almost like Bell's palsy). These other times I never felt the fluidy fullness in my neck like today...this time because it started in my neck, I was worried it was due to some lymphatics draining in my neck. The fluidness feeling is gone but I have a more definite area of supraclavicular swelling and it is painful to palpate.
I am thinking of going to our ER/walk-in clinic to get it checked out...or should I just wait it out and see what happens?
BTW, I am waiting for my Rheumatology referral, due to chronically elevated sed rate (76 last time), low positive CRP and slightly positive RF. Joint and muscle pains abound...
Thanks in advance.
Name one thing that brings a smile to your face everyday
Or more if you can't decide.
Mine is petting my cat and giving her kisses on her belly and watching her roll around purring really loudly. (okay, so I don't have any kids to give kisses to so this is the next best thing).
My little son Alex's sleepy face when I wake him for school, and of course,,,,,sm
watching the antics of my crazy Jack Russell Terrier with the new kitten, they pull tricks that would freak out the Mind Freak, it is a riot!!! (New Englander here, too!)
