I'm revising to RNY next month. At 47 my skin has lost a lot of it's elasticity. Can anyone recommend firming cream?

No- most will say they don't help, only plastics...

plastic surgery.

in a meantime keep hydrated - good fat in diet and use coconut oil (very little) to keep it nice and clean. I use food grade organic coconut oil - keeps my skin nice and moist. only if I need it.

Put all your money from creams and lotions in a medical savings account. Spending it on that stuff will just be a waste.

I am 68 and do use firming creams. I like Nivea Q10 and a bottle is usually less than $10 and does me for months.

You are not going to see dramatic results like plastic surgery, but you will see marked improvement and the moisture and firming ingredients help stop further damage.

Please try a bottle and post back here with your results after using for a week.

Hydration is most important. Also, working out and firming up your muscles will help your skins shape & appearance.

I agree with White Dove- Firming creams help more with texture of skin... I use one from It Works Company (i do not sell) .... Helps with top skin layer--- not sagging. Plastics is the only thing that will help that.

Ok so what I love about today is that we're exposed to a huge amount of care things. You can view here https://porevacuumcleaners.com/ it's something I gifted my friend to take care of her skin, but I'm buying same for myself. And it lasts longer than any cream
