Over-50 Women With Ridiculously Good Skin Share the Products They Swear By

Skincare is a subject I take seriously, and when I meet individuals who have amazing skin, I’ll be the first to pick their brains on the ins and outs of their skincare regimen. Most people would ask a new person they meet what they do for a living. I ask a new person how they’ve cleansed throughout their life. (What can I say? I just need to know.) And when it comes to skincare, we can learn a thing or two from our wiser counterparts. These women have spent the better half of a lifetime trying, testing, and evaluating the best products that work for their visages. Eager to learn more about what our over-50 friends are using on a daily basis, I tapped into a handful of women with particularly good skin and asked them to share their favorite skincare products with us. From daily SPF to can’t-live-without smoothing serums and must-have moisturizers, scroll below for the items they swear by.

Renata Jazdzyk, @venswifestyle

Vichy Neovadiol Compensating Complex Replenishing Care Day Moisturizer ($55)

"I love skin products from Vichy, as they are really good and not too expensive. I've just started to use this cream, and I must admit I'm impressed with it. It makes my skin denser with more defined contours, and it smells so nice. In addition, you can use it under your foundation, which is very important to me when choosing a day cream."

Dior Capture Youth Age-Delay Advanced Eye Treatment ($75)

"This eye cream is a masterpiece. It not only moisturizes, but it also targets fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness. I use it during the day and at night. I can't live without it!"

Dior Capture Totale Dreamskin 1-Minute Mask ($75)

"This mask is my ultimate SOS. I use it before big events when I want to look my best."

Estée Lauder DayWear Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Sheer Tint Release Moisturizer ($55)

"My go-to essential. I use it instead of foundation as it's light and gives your skin just a bit of color. I don't like to put too much makeup during summertime, so Estée Lauder DayWear Sheer Tint is a perfect alternative. In addition, it has SPF 15, so it protects my skin."

Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Cleansing and Makeup Removing Foaming Gel ($14)

"Bioderma's foaming gel works quickly. It's great for sensitive skin, and, most importantly, it doesn't make my skin tight after a wash."

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water, Cleansing and Make-Up Removing Solution ($15)

"I use the cleansing gel with Bioderma Micellar Water. It's my favorite duo. I always take them both everywhere with me."

GlamGlow Good in Bed Passionfruit Softening Night Cream ($54)

"Currently my favorite night cream. What's amazing about it is that it not only softens your skin but also, thanks to glycolic acid, gently exfoliates it. Your skin feels great in the morning. I definitely agree with the name of this cream. It is good in bed!"

Mel Kobayashi, @bagandaberet

Aveeno Moisturizing Bar ($10)

"My skin is very sensitive, so I don't use any cleansers or moisturizers on my face as part of a daily routine and normally wear very little makeup. To remove lipstick and eyebrow pencil, I use virgin olive oil available at any food store, then rinse with water and pat dry. My mascara rinses off with water. I try to use natural products whenever I can. If I've worn more makeup than usual, I'll use Aveeno Moisturizing Bar with nourishing oat for dry skin to do a final overall cleansing sweep. Unlike the dozens of other bar soaps for sensitive skin I've tried, this product does not burn, and the micro-abrasive bits make me feel like I'm getting a fresh, deep clean."

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion ($7)

"Sometimes in the morning or after a gentle scrubbing for makeup removal, I'll moisturize with a touch of Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion, fragrance-free, because it feels light and non-greasy."

Lancôme Nutrix Nourishing and Repairing Rich Cream ($80)

"If I have been swimming in chlorinated water or my skin is feeling extra irritated, I'll use Lancôme Nutrix Nourishing and Repairing Rich Cream. This product moisturizes and locks the moisture in, but as a heavy cream, I use it sparingly."

Grece Ghanem, @greceghanem

Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment ($122)

"An essential in my routine! I am on my second bottle this year. It is an excellent chemical exfoliator, leaves my skin feeling velvety soft, not harsh at all, can be used daily. The smoothness created by Good Genes makes also a very good base to apply makeup over."

Dior Capture Youth Plump Filler Age-Delay Plumping Serum ($95)

"I like that this contains hyaluronic acid, which, like its name says, plumps your skin. Just one small drop goes a long way with this product. The gel turns into a silky oil feeling, not sticky at all. It smells like luxury too!"

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Moisturizer ($100)

"Yes, it is magic! I feel that it hydrates, brightens, and smoothes my complexion, and I like consistency on my skin."

Arlinda, @funkingafter50

Acure The Essentials Rosehip Oil ($13)

"Every evening, I do what I call a micro steam facial. I massage one or two drops of rose-hip oil into my face, neck, and décolletage area to loosen any debris or makeup. I then cleanse away the day with a steaming-hot, white-cotton facecloth."

Berry Beautiful Raspberry Seed Oil ($22)

"I apply one drop of raspberry seed oil to my cleansed face, which, in addition to being an excellent moisturizer for me, it's also rich in omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, antioxidants, and is anti-inflammatory."

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser ($22)

"My counter favorite since forever is my faithful Kiehl's cleanser and sunscreen that keeps my face supple without overdrying."

Annette Höldrich, @theladyofstyle

Avène Gentle Milk Cleanser ($20)

"My skincare routine is extremely basic, and I am grateful for my normal, non-sensitive skin. I love the very mild cleansing products by Eau Thermale Avène and use them every day, even for gently removing my eye makeup."

L'Oréal Age Perfect Hydra Nutrition Day/Night Cream ($14)

"For my daily moisturizer, I like to use L'Oréal Age Perfect. It offers the right level of moisture for mature skin and nourishes it well. In winter, I often use a richer night cream during the day."
