42F and my skin was great through my 30s with just cleanser, moisturizer and SPF and i barely had to think about it but now im noticing dullness, fine lines getting deeper, texture changes and my skin just doesnt recover or bounce back the way it used to. Its like overnight everything shifted. I added retinol a few months ago and its helping slowly with the texture but I still feel like something is missing like the dullness and the tired look wont go away no matter what I layer on. I feel like topicals alone arent going to cut it anymore and I need to add something different to my routine. What did you add in your 40s that actually made a noticeable difference? Im open to anything like treatments, devices, supplements, whatever worked for you
