Yeah, your brain is getting bigger too! All sorts of things regenerating! I can almost hear the gears grinding. ;-) I will add that the “acid” part of face creams always make me think of something from a horror movie. I guess the science-y terms sound more valid than “things that make you go plump” and “stuff to get rid of dead skin.”
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Monday! Have a great day, all! (Glad to see your activity on Cathy, karlykru! I hope that means you are doing well with winter weather and earthquakes. :-))

I never could figure out why anyone would want to put something called hyaluronic acid on their face. Maybe because I associate acid with things like sulfuric acid from back in science class – when we were all younger so had younger looking skin.
Happy Monday!
