Sleep, energy, digestion, bone density, comfort, intimacy. All of it shows up in your skin eventually, and none of it is solved by anything in a jar.
We stock two houses here. Eir Women formulate specifically for women over forty rather than adapting something built for another body — named actives, doses printed on the box. Bawdy make intimacy products to the standard we'd expect from a facial serum, which is rarer in that category than it should be.
We'll be honest about the hierarchy: sleep, movement and sun protection outrank everything else available to us. This is the shelf that supports the first two.
Kate recommends
Eir Women Revival Dual Collagen Pro — $59
"I started this for my skin and stayed for my joints, which is not what the packaging leads with. FORTIBONE is in there for bone density — the part nobody discusses and the part that genuinely matters after menopause. Take it for three months before you judge it."
Chloe recommends
Eir Women Reboot Sleep Recovery — $65
"Everything else in my routine is trying to do what a good night's sleep does for free. I'd rather protect the sleep. No fog the next morning, which is where most of this category falls down — forty-five minutes before bed and I'm asleep without feeling drugged into it."
