So you know I'm a R+F consultant so I'm a bit biased
but from your concerns with dullness - I would look at the Reverse line (I think it's the Lightening one). Step 3 has two tubes that you mix together - one of those tubes has retinol with helps with wrinkles. So you are basically killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Woot!
Sorry you got bombarded by all your friends! That can be irritating! Good luck figuring out what you want to use. If you have any questions about R+F - let me know!
