Need Facial Skin Care Product Advice

I have two facial skin care problems that weren't really problems before I lost my excess weight:

1.  turkey-gobbler neck
2.  loose skin under my eyes

A 40-ish friend on the lap-band forum recommended Nivea's Q10 lotion for the neck.  I've been using it for 2 weeks and see no difference at all.

Do you have any recommendations for effective skin care products?

Thanks,
Jean

I use Avon Anew products and Melalueca products.

You have to know that nothing short of surgery is actually going to bring about a "cure" for your problem.  I would, however, suggest that you may want to speak to a dermatologist and have then prescribe Renova.  Google it and read about what it does for the skin.

Good luck!!!

Jean, I use Oil of Olay products on my face and neck.
Yes, I still have a "turkey waddle" on my neck but it's not as bad as it was and I really think the product has helped.  As for the eye area, I have dark circles under the eyes and have tried Avon and others, and nothing seems to help.....I saw a segment on TV about that area and they said the only solution was plastic surgery.....dang!

Jean - I saw that post that you are referring to and bought some of the Nivea Q10... I have only been using it for a week twice a day when I think about it.  I know I haven't been using it long enough to tell a difference yet.  I had been thinking about asking you what you thought about it...

I look forward to hearing other comments and see what will help.  I have a lot more weight to lose, so I thought maybe starting now would help.  I have ordered Avon online if you decide to try that approach.

Shelia,

I didn't know you could buy Avon products online.  Thanks for mentioning that!
