"AMAZING for this 70-year-old. With a counter full of serums, lotions, and potions, I have found the ONE!" said one reviewer about the ~magical~ Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré face moisturizer.

Promising review: "I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised, as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had pre-cancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." —Lynda M.

Promising review: "I've been using this for only a few days now, and I can already tell a difference in my skin. I wash my face and apply snail mucin to a damp face by patting it on and not rubbing it in. Just one pump is enough, so this bottle should last me a while with morning and night use. It's completely odorless and not sticky once it dries. It hasn't bothered my skin at all, which is wonderful because I can be a bit sensitive. I don't wear makeup and only moisturize with coconut oil. I'm 50 years old now and feel like I could use a little help with my facial skincare. My skin looks so much younger, smoother, and hydrated in such a short time. I'm happy to have found this!" —Renee

Promising review: "I'm 55 years old, and my skin is a bit sensitive. I don't have a lot of wrinkles, but I'm definitely noticing a few more laugh lines and forehead crinkles than I had a few years ago! I've tried several moisturizers and have not been terribly impressed with any of them until now. This stuff really is great — incredibly hydrating without feeling greasy, and it absorbs quickly. It feels great on my skin. In just a few short weeks, I definitely noticed an improvement in my skin tone and fewer lines and wrinkles! Plus, the customer service is great. I had questions when I first received the product, and got a follow-up response immediately. I will definitely be ordering this product again. I use it in the evening and morning; no need for two different moisturizers. Very pleased!" —sbakey

Promising reviews: "I’ve bought several of these. It’s popular with the teen crowd, so I am an outlier. At 51, I use this at night around my lips. Really softens the pinched look that can come with age. I like the scent, too! A little teeny, but I’ll take it." —EJF

Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I am 68 years old and have been using makeup for 52 of those years. I have tried many mascaras over those years, from inexpensive to very expensive. I cannot say that I have ever been really happy with the results. I had reached the point where I thought that it did not matter the cost; they are pretty much all the same. This changed my mind. I put on two coats, and it made my lashes look so thick. If I did not know better, I would think that I had on false eyelashes. I used baby shampoo, as I always do, and I always lather with the baby shampoo twice to remove the mascara, and it came off easily. I will look no more for a new mascara. I cannot imagine a mascara better than this." —Piaget

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I'm 52, with crepey eyelids, and they itch and water if a smidge of eye product gets in them. Powder shadow is a complete no-go! I just bought two of these, and I am so happy! After years of not wearing shadow, I am back in the game! It goes on creamy exactly where you put it. The smudger works beautifully, and it stayed put all day with no creasing, no watery or itchiness. Didn't use any primer, just on clean, moisturized skin. Thank you! I will definitely be getting more colors!" —Tania Nicholson

Promising review: "I rarely write product reviews, but I feel compelled to explain why this is a great product. I am an older man who has struggled with fingernail biting my entire life. OPI Nail Envy really helps! 1. It is true matte with a barely noticeable shine. I am old-fashioned and would never use a shiny polish. I have tried several other brands that claimed to be matte, but they all had a little shine. 2. OPI Nail Envy not only strengthens my nails — it accelerates the healing of my cuticles and skin around my cuticles. 3. IMPORTANT: Be aware of the formula! This is a vegan formula. There is another formula, OPI Nail Envy Original Formula. I tried some, and it triggered a severe allergic reaction on my cuticles and skin. I switched back to the Vegan formula, and it healed the skin quickly. I wish I had discovered this product 50 years ago. It would have prevented a lot of embarrassment about my nails." —Stephen Bell

Promising review: "At 60 years old, I have tried SO MANY products...anything short of surgery to lift and tighten my face. Around the age of 57, my pores became larger and larger. I tried product after product and spent hundreds trying to find that fountain of youth. There is nothing like going into a store with salespeople younger than my grandchildren telling me what I'm doing 'wrong' with my skincare regimen. They had never seen a wrinkle in their lives. I thought I would give this face mask a shot. I mean, what did I have to lose? Immediate results! I couldn't believe it! My pores were small; my face was different...and in a good way..lol. I can't believe my skin looks so good. I'm so excited. I had to write a review. I don't think you'll be sorry if you decide to try this. I know I sure wasn't!" —Judi Bragg

Promising review: "As a 68-year-old woman, I have noticed over the years my hair was thinning, and I tried several different products that really didn't work until my hairdresser suggested I try Biotin. This shampoo is amazing. It gives me the fullness and control better than any other product. I have now been using this product for over a year and will continue using it." —Wehr

Promising review: "OK, over-50 female club members, this is for you. My hair has not only been getting thinner, but the texture has gotten dull, dry, and impossible to style. I came across this product in one of my desperate online searches to find anything to help restore shine to my hair. I doused my scalp and ends with this and put my hair into a ball cap. Then, I was outside doing some gardening in the 80-degree heat for about six hours. I was sweaty and very hot when I came inside to shower and rinse this stuff out of my hair. I didn't blow-dry, just air-dry. And to my amazement, my hair is now SO SHINY and GLOSSY that I can very easily slide my fingers through my hair! It looks incredible! So the true test will be to see if it actually regrows my hair...esp my non-existent eyebrows, which I plucked back in high school and never grew back. So far, I'm very happy with this purchase and will continue to use it." —Justme

Promising review: "I've been wanting to try this for a long time, and I'm sooo glad I finally purchased the medium shade. It covers everything perfectly without even looking like I'm wearing any foundation at all. I'm 64, and my skin is combination oily/normal. This is the best product I have ever used, including Lancome, Tarte, Charlotte Tilbury, and Clinique. Doesn't go into wrinkles and stays flawless all day." —Laura

Promising reviews: "Looks flawless on my face. I’m 52, and I love the way my skin looks and feels. You don’t even feel like you have anything on your face!!" —Michelle Wood

"Look. I'm creeping up on 50 and refuse to get Botox, facials, or any of that ...I just don't care enough. Now that you know me, let me tell you about this dreamy makeup. I was a lifelong wearer of another brand that rhymes with hover swirl. Swore by it. Until the store didn't have any, and I happened upon this stuff, and I was shook. It doesn't set up camp in the lines I damn well earned on my face, but gently covers and smooths out my complexion. I don't look so tired!... This is my new go-to daily makeup. Half the time, I don't even use powder because this does the job. Thanks, Maybelline, for helping this mid-century modern woman feel Instagram-ready." —Sarah Over

Rubbing alcohol-based products (like Tend Skin) can help prevent an infection of an ingrown, but can’t prevent an ingrown itself, according to Cleveland Clinic. 

Promising reviews: "I have never had a product work better. Shaving ‘down there’ has given me many ingrown hairs over my 52 years. As soon as you feel a bump starting, put this on once, and you will never have to worry again!" —Amazon Customer

"Until I started using Tend Skin, I had been a 60-year victim of razor bumps, burns, and ingrown hair. After using the product for a week, bumps, burns, and ingrown hairs disappeared from my face. A fabulous product, I just ordered my third bottle." —Jon

"Age 60, still with oily skin. Now getting obnoxious little chin hairs that AREN'T BLONDE like the rest of them... They look like little blackheads until they poke out enough for me to tweeze them. They also get red and look like pimples in the process. This stuff is great! The salicylic acid in it is mild, no stinging. It slightly exfoliates, but more importantly, takes away 100% of the redness. Although I still use my Buf Puff daily for facial exfoliation, this stuff also makes a great toner/astringent. Very pleased." —Middle aged nerd

Promising reviews: "This sheer gel blush takes me back to the '60s love child era. I bought Nude Burn. It's not greasy, not cakey, blends easily, color is very natural. Start with a light application and build the color up to your desired shade...Clean feeling and sheer, this is the perfect cheek color for me. BTW, I'm 72 this year, and I still love looking fresh and pretty!" —Chrissy

"Took a chance, and I love it! I really wasn’t sure what color to get, but have been very happy with this one. First time using cream blush, but it’s easy. You can layer it to make it as dark as you want. I was worried about how it would do on 50+ skin and have been pleasantly surprised. It gives me a nice glow." —ACK

Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (available in six shades).

Promising review: "I am beside myself with this purchase!! I bought it hoping it would at least somewhat work, as so many don't. This is absolutely perfection! It works well; it's quiet, small, easy to take with you if you so desire, and most importantly...IT WORKS!!! I'm a soon-to-be-65-year-old woman who has hair where I never did before, most annoying. This gets rid of it. I used it again a couple of days later, and what I am finding is that I need to use it less and less. Really cool!" —Sandy E'Bell

Promising review: "Just used this amazing little razor on my face for the first time, and I am [obsessed]! I am 58 years old and battle the peach fuzz especially on my lip and chin...this was super easy and effective! The exfoliation alone is fantastic! Grab some of these for your beauty arsenal!" —Cisami

Promising review: "Ah. Maze. Ing! I bought this on a whim during a flash sale... After only three weeks of using this product, the lip lines are gone, the frown lines reduced by at least 50%, and my neck skin looks like a neck again! My skin is dewy, soft, and healthy again. I can't wait to see what the next three weeks bring! And at this price, I'm going to start using it on my hands and chest.

My skin looks and feels great! This 56-year-old beach girl with decades in the sun and saltwater couldn't be happier. More youthful skin and $500 back in my pocket? What's not to like? Try it! Of course, skin type is a major factor in success. But my skin is VERY sensitive, and not only has it shown improvement, but I also have not experienced any reddening or burning. Hope it works just as well for you!" —S. M. Spizzirri

Promising reviews: "Very gentle, cleansing, and toning for 55-year-old skin! I love these facial wipes. I think my skin looks and feels firmer. I am very happy with these and will continue to buy them." —Katrina M.

Promising review: "I don't usually try all the latest hair things because my hair is very fine and it doesn't like product. But I received it as a sample, and I can't believe how nice it made my hair and how long it lasted. I have to wash every single day, or my hair would be limp and lifeless. You could tell if I didn't wash my hair for one day. This miracle stuff makes it so that I don't have to wash my hair for a good three days at least, and it still looks fresh. It also lasts between washes, so I only have to use it every other wash or sometimes not for three or four. I can't live without this now that I've found it. It took me ’til my fifties to find this amazing product. I sure coulda used this in my 20s!" —B.S.

FYI, reviewers with kinky/coily hair suggest the extra strength version!

Promising review: "I'm blown away and excited to find a foundation that is equal if not better in quality AND 3x cheaper than my favorite CC cream. I am 63 years old with fair skin (Irish heritage) with freckles, redness, and age spots. This Camo Cream is a full-coverage foundation, which I love and need in order to smooth out my complexion. It's not heavy, and a little goes a long way. I will definitely be ordering this again." —Lisa Germano

Wonderskin is a woman-owned small business!

Promising review: "Y’ALL. I am 50-something years old and have tried every 'longwear' and 'stain' there is, from department store robbery level to 'bitten' or whatever the vampire lip stain Revlon had out a while back. At my age, I longed for a lip color that didn’t leave my telltale wrinkled lip impression on a glass. But alas, all of the long-wear formulas were disappointing, dull, and, most of all, DRY. I was skeptical, but I have spent way more on crappy lip potions that I won’t use, but apparently keep to torture myself about my wasteful spending. The purple was shocking, and the first time I used it, I sprayed and peeled pretty quickly, lest I end up with 1978 Donna Summer disco-era hologram lips that I definitely could not pull off in my office. And to my amazement, that stuff STAYED ON. Not dry, not seeping into cracks, not sticky, not weird tasting, not staining my teeth. Just like a 'bitten lip' — a slightly tinted natural color was there. The longer you let it sit, the darker it gets. After a FEW glasses of wine, pasta drizzled with a really good olive oil, salad, and dessert, there’s STILL some color! Stayed on through smooches, too." —Kelly K.

Promising reviews: "I love this product. I have never gotten the hang of the dry shampoo spray, but this works like a charm! ...I am 50 years old, and I love it!" —Carolyn

"I’m in my sixties [and] my hair is fine but not thin. I get it highlighted, so I try not to wash it, but a couple of times a week. I’ve tried many dry shampoo sprays, including some high-end brands, and I hated them all. I love this product. It works great for my hair even after a run, and my head sweats a lot. I let my hair dry and use this the next morning, and it will hold the product for a couple of days. Best I’ve found, and I’m sticking with it." —Theresa M. Sullivan

Promising review: "I’ve had stained teeth from drinking coffee for over 50 years. I tried brushing after having my daily coffee and even used a professional solution in a tray, but nothing worked. I used the AsaVea pen twice on the first day and saw immediate results. After a week of using the pen as directed twice a day, I’m proud to smile!" —Amazon Customer

Reviewers with thin or fine hair LOVE this hair treatment, and various hair types from 3b to 4c say that it helped their damaged hair. Even folks with dyed or bleached hair say it's safe to use. TL;DR: It works!

Promising reviews: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy-looking after just one use. Plus, you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add that I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

"This product has a light but has a really lovely scent. I absolutely love it! My almost waist-length hair was seriously damaged by my last hairstylist. I've tried everything to make my hair shinier and more manageable, with less frizz. I've been through countless deep conditioning treatments with little results... till I found CER 100! Pictures don't lie. This is after about a 15-minute treatment with a blow-dry and NO additional products. As a point of reference, I'm in my early 50s, so I have far from "virgin" hair. If mine looks this great, that says a lot!"  —C. Fordham

Promising reviews: "Ok, so I am 60. STILL get zits. I have tried every product, [but] everything makes me break out. I hesitated to use this, thinking OIL, just going to make things worse. After reading the reviews, I figured I would give it a shot. OMG. My face is so smooth and hydrated. I am without words. NO breakouts at all. The acne scars are fading, my skin seems much more even-toned, and even my husband noticed. I did buy the gel also, which I put under my eyes at night. If you are on the fence, I say go for it!! The best thing I have ever used on my face." —Patty Boyd

"My 72-year-old skin loves it! [Bio-Oil] hydrates my sensitive skin and leaves it incredibly soft. Have started to use a small amount on my scalp and hair, softening my greys. Have already purchased more. Don't want to run out!" —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "I thought no possible way this thing could work, so I was pleasantly surprised when it did. I have very oily skin, and I'm 60-something. It has been the bane of my existence since my teenage years. Just roll it around your face slowly and the oil is sopped up. I used it over and over for a week before I washed it, but it was still going strong. I only washed it because it was probably bacteria-laden by then. Don't need old cake powder anymore. Just go for a roll. The plastic case could stand to be a little sturdier, though." —karen johnson

Promising reviews: "I love this product. I’m 53 years old and wake up daily with puffy eyes and dark circles. I apply them, and 20 minutes later, they are gone!! I definitely recommend this product." —Amazon Customer

"These are by far the best eye patches I’ve used, and I have added them to my subscriptions so I never miss a day. I’m 64 years old and, due to multiple major life stressors over the last three years, have gone from looking 20 years younger than my age to looking every minute of my years. I’ve tried everything and have spent a small fortune trying to look less haggard and puffy. These patches are amazing. The box says you’ll see a difference in a few days, and I really did. There are no wrinkles under my eyes, and it lasts through the workday rather than the 10 minutes I’ve seen with some other patches. Put them in the fridge, they feel extra good!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I am 55 years old and have applied foundation with my fingertips, or more recently makeup sponges, for my entire lifespan of wearing makeup. I’ve been unhappy with sponges lately as I feel I wipe more off with a sponge than stays on my face. The foundation also did not seem evenly distributed. I decided to try a foundation brush. I am beyond happy with this purchase. The bristles are extremely soft, and the brush head is very dense. I also feel I use less foundation product. As soon as I begin applying, my face looks transformed. I love how my complexion looks flawless with foundation, evenly distributed. I truly feel like a different person. I just cleaned the brush for the first time, and the brush cleaned up very well and returned to its original look and shape. I just purchased a second one so that I always have one cleaned and ready for use." —Linda
