My skin is terrible. It's not just the acne, though I do have that. It is mottled and dull. I have deep shadows under my eyes. Wrinkles are spreading under my eyes and from the corners of my nose to my mouth. I don't (and never have) smoked, nor lived around smokers. I drink at least 2 liters of water a day. I'm a female in my early 20s, and I've got the skin of a nicotine and alcohol addict in their forties. What am I doing wrong? More treatment details inside. [more inside]

My girlfriend was given a bottle of camelia oil for her skin from a friend of hers who lives in New York. She absolutely loves it but the bottle is really small and now she's about to run out. I'd like to get her another bottle, preferably the same brand if possible, but my Google-fu fails me and I can't find anyone who sells them. I think her friend bought it somewhere in China Town in New York but I don't know where. I'm thinking that if I could only get in touch with the shop I might be able to order a few bottles from there. Please MeFi, has anyone seen these anywhere?

Men's Skincare Filter: the boyfriend is worried that his neck is getting "crepey." (His normal skincare routine - such as it is - consists of washing his face in the shower with soap, then putting on a moisturizer with sunscreen; sometimes he uses my neutrogena anti-wrinkle stuff too.) He asked me for some recommendations for creams or gels to help firm up the skin in that area, but I'm at a loss - googling just turns up lots of very tiny, very expensive jars of fancy sounding stuff by brands I've never heard of. What buzzest thou, Hive Mind?

As I've gotten a little older, I've noticed the pores on either side of my nose (the "T-Zone") have gotten bigger and much more orange-rind-like than they were ten years ago. Many skincare products claim they can reverse this—how valid are the claims? My dermatologist was skeptical. I've also heard that low-dose Accutane can help with this?

I used to have pretty bad acne, and I still get it occasionally. My problem isn't really the acne itself, but the discoloration it leaves afterwards. I don't seem to have any really noticable scars, since my skin is smooth, but it looks mottled and ruddy. Is there any way I can make what's left over from a year or so ago fade faster? Is there anything I can do to make new breakouts leave less of a mark? What are some good products for evening out skin tone?
