From the field of plastic surgery, lifting has moved into the field of cosmetology, where brilliant results are achieved with the help of “beauty injections” and hardware procedures, and now it is already possible as a result of the use of special skin care products. We tell you how creams with a lifting effect work.
Feature of the cream with a lifting effect
Due to age (and in accordance with genetics – for someone earlier, for someone later), the production of collagen begins to decrease, which gives the skin elasticity and ensures smoothness. Creams, serums, masks with a lifting effect are called upon to keep the elusive beauty.
Answer the questions of our text and find out how your face will change with age.
The main functions of the cream
What do we expect from him?
- Increase skin elasticity.
- The effect of lifting the oval of the face, curbing the threat of the appearance of jowls and a second chin.
- Improving the quality of the skin around the eyes – up to smoothing “crow’s feet”.
- The so-called Botox effect.
- Skin rejuvenation, healthy glow.
These desires are fulfilled.
Due to age, the production of collagen begins to decrease, which gives elasticity to the skin and smoothes mimic wrinkles.

Selection rules
Age-related changes cannot be avoided, but they all pass in accordance with the individual genetic program. Therefore, it is important to understand the principles of cosmetics in order to choose the best care for yourself. What to focus on?
Age
Lifting creams are intended for an audience of 35+. At a younger age, the skin, as a rule, does not need them.
“Using creams that are inappropriate for age will not give results – neither good nor bad. The cream should approach the problem like a key to a lock,” says Vichy medical expert Elena Eliseeva.
Individual characteristics
For example, if the skin is very dry, it is important that the cream contains powerful hydrating agents. A normal level of moisture will allow:
- restore skin volume;
- pull up;
- smooth out wrinkles.
Smokers need to choose a cream,
enriched with vitamins A and C.
Fund line
The lifting effect, as a rule, is achieved with the help of a whole line of products: day cream + night + serum (concentrate) + cream for skin care around the eyes + mask. Lifting body creams are often combined, for example, with a scrub.
The line of products is designed in such a way as to provide maximum effect through the synergy of products. They reinforce and enhance each other’s effect.

Features of composition
The choice of active components of the cream, of course, depends on the desired result.
Botox effect
It is provided by:
- adenosine, which is called a dermorelaxant because it relaxes the microconstrictions of fibroblasts (skin cells).
- Argireline – This peptide is called a milder analogue of botulinum toxin. Unlike the latter, it does not block muscle contraction, but reduces their activity, causing the skin to relax. As a result, facial expressions are preserved, and wrinkles are smoothed out – unless, of course, these are deep furrows that formed many years ago.
Synthesis of collagen
He is stimulated:
- carnauba wax;
- peptides;
- retinol and its derivatives, provitamin A;
- vitamin C;
- glucans, glycans, rhamnose, xylose, some other poly- and monosaccharides and their analogs (eg proxylan);
- growth factors.
Deep moisturizing
Responsible for it:
- hyaluronic acid as a powerful hydrator;
- hydrofixer (glycerin, hydrophilic oils).
Day care products include SPF sunscreens:
- for the prevention of photoaging;
- to protect the skin after using products with ingredients that enhance photosensitivity.
It is clear that skin aging does not begin on the day of the 35th anniversary, but long before that, but by this moment, simply supporting cosmetics are no longer enough.
