Perfect face: rating of the best wrinkle creams

Every woman sooner or later thinks about choosing a wrinkle cream. Moreover, unfortunately, it will not work to find “your” cream at the age of 30 and use it with constant success until retirement. We change, the needs of the skin change. We will try to choose our option among the best creams presented by the editors of Healthy-Food.

Benefits and properties of anti-wrinkle creams

When looking closely at a cream marked “anti-wrinkle”, keep in mind: people have quite different ideas about wrinkles. These are small “crow’s feet” around the eyes, and lines of dehydration on dull skin, and pronounced nasolabial folds. Of course, all this requires a different approach.

  • Moisturize and/or nourish, as dry skin also contributes to the formation of wrinkles.

  • Toning the skin, that is, the activation of the processes occurring in it, which slow down with age.

  • Alignment of relief and complexion. Often the appearance of wrinkles follows the dullness of the skin – by the way, it is precisely this that is the first sign of aging, since it reflects a slowdown in the renewal processes.

  • Stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis for firmness and freshness.

Use the test to determine which cream you need for daily care.

Age restrictions 35+, 55+, etc., which are often indicated on the packaging by the manufacturer, imply specific age-related changes, and the formula fights against them.

Proper beauty habits: thorough cleansing of the skin, regular moisturizing, exfoliation is nothing more than the prevention of age-related changes. The first wrinkles (mimic) can appear already after 25 years. But we are still talking more about wrinkle prevention. There are still 10 years left before they need to be corrected.

It is very useful to combine the application of the cream with an anti-wrinkle massage.

How to choose an effective anti-wrinkle cream

How to find “your” cream? The advice of a friend here is unlikely to help. According to medical expert Vichy Ekaterina Turubara, the main selection criterion is the condition of your skin, “after all, it can be completely different at the same age and depend both on genetics and on the influence of external factors (by the way, much more from the latter)”. Ekaterina advises to carefully read the information on the package in order to understand what (and for whom) the product is intended.

Composition

Inside the anti-wrinkle cream, there is at least one (and often several) of the following components:

  • retinol;

  • antioxidants (in particular, vitamin C) – by the way, another study confirmed that vitamin C derivatives in creams really slow down the aging process: they boost collagen production, fight wrinkles and hyperpigmentation;

  • adenosine;

  • Sahara;

  • collagen;

  • algae extracts;

  • hyaluronic acid;

  • peptides (in particular, argireline, known for its relaxing effect on the skin).

Instant visual results are given by:

  • carnauba wax;

  • silicones;

  • reflective particles.

Quite often, the cream combines anti-aging components and components of an exclusively optical action to provide both a quick effect and corrective care.

Brazilian carnauba palm leaves are coated with a thin layer of a special wax that has proven to be a great tool for an instant visual lifting effect.

wrinkle type

Deep, mimic, “crow’s feet” – if the product suits you, most likely, they will all decrease (small, perhaps completely disappear), the skin will even out and tighten.

Season

Regardless of skin type, cosmetologists recommend switching to denser, richer textures in winter, and lighter ones (gels, fluids, etc.) in summer. This is due to the fact that in the heat, fatty saturated textures are uncomfortable – they seem heavy, redundant. But for winter they are the most: they protect from cold and wind.
