help! looking for a wrinkle/face cream with no smell?
it took nearly 30 years, but it seems that I am finally allergic to perfumes and perfumie smells. I've been using Burt's Bees Repair Serum and I loved it, but now it seems that I am even allergic to that.

does anyone have a suggestion for an extremely mild or no smell wrinkle cream or oil?

help me!

2. I am embarrassed to say I use Clinique and Lancome...
for my face cream. But, if you aren't able to spend the money, or you just don't want to, a friend of mine swears by this product:

http://www.stives.com/skin-care-products/facial-beautiful-collagen-moisturizer.cfm

It didn't do well on my face, because my pores are too small, but it works very well for her.

3. I use a vitamin E skin oil
My skin is very dry, and after I wash my face I smooth on a couple of drops of pure, vitamin E skin oil. No perfumes, dyes, or other artificial ingredients. I get mine at Sally Beauty supply.

4. Try looking into DIY skincare.
There are a few websites/businesses out there that are selling directly to the consumer ingredients used in popular cosmeceuticals. The company I have used before, and I've been thrilled with their products, is www.skinactives.com. (I loved their alpha/beta peel kit, and their brightening cream, and the i-bright cream, and the CHAS serum.)

The beauty of DIY skincare is that you can leave out all the crap you don't need in a face cream - like fragrance - and just use the stuff that's most effective on your skin.

10. I use The Body Shop's Kinetin line
I'm highly allergic to perfumes, too, and this seems to have little smell to me.

15. Keeping in mind, however, that I can barely enter their store because of the perfumes
in some of their other stuff. If I buy it from the store, I have to hold my nose, run in and run out. But you can always order them online if you're as sensitive as I am. :)

11. Organic coconut oil. It is wonderful. Just give it a few minutes
to sink in. It doesn't stay oily, and really makes my 50 year old skin feel good.

16. two of my favorite perfumes were Elizabeth Arden
Red Door and Green Tea - too bad I can't go anywhere near either one now, I'm so allergic.

I'll look into that Prevage though.
thanks!
