How to choose an anti-wrinkle cream

First of all, pay attention to the composition of the anti-aging agent. The composition of a quality wrinkle cream must necessarily include active substances:

• retinol (vitamin A) and retinoids (its derivatives). The best option for those who need to stimulate the process of skin production of its own collagen. It is very difficult to save unstable retinol and bring it to the deep layers of the skin, so many “smart” retinol derivatives have appeared: retinaldehyde, tretinoin, tretinol, adapalene and others.
• Peptides – the latest development of Korean scientists and the best that has been invented to renew and nourish the skin. Short chains of peptides penetrate into the deep layers, filling the skin with active substances. The manufacture of such cosmetics is a complex and expensive process, so a good anti-wrinkle cream for women over 50 cannot be cheap, because the minimum effective concentration of peptides in it is at least 7%.
• AHA and BHA acids. Exfoliate dead cells, make them renew faster and increase the number of living epidermal cells, stimulate the skin to produce its own hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin. These acids have been successfully used in creams for cell regeneration and wrinkle reduction. But you need to be careful with them, such funds are not designed for daily use.
• Collagen hydrolyzed. Well seals and improves skin elasticity. But it is effective only for young skin.
• Ceramides NP and Agrireline are muscle relaxants that relieve tension from facial muscles and smooth wrinkles. Expensive to manufacture, so it is most often found in luxury brands.
• Coenzyme Q10 frees from free radicals, restores energy balance, reduces the loss of elastin and collagen.
• Placental components nourish, regenerate and renew the dermis. The composition of this cream includes: stem cells, peptides (proteins responsible for the production of collagen and elastin), lecithin, adenosine triphosphate (increases the energy supply of cells), hyaluronic acid, vitamins and trace elements.

It is necessary to take into account the age and individual characteristics of the skin. Markings on wrinkle creams were invented for a reason. Determine your type and select a tool according to it. For combination and oily skin, products intended for dry skin are not suitable – and vice versa. Cosmetics work if you use them regularly and systematically, so it makes sense to purchase an anti-aging line that includes day care, evening care, serum, mask, and peeling.

If you have any doubts about which cream to choose, consult a beautician. He will give you recommendations for caring for your skin and help you navigate the compositions, variety of products, lines and manufacturers.

Expert Opinion

Tatyana Egorycheva, cosmetologist:

Let’s start with the fact that miracles do not happen, and no matter what the active substances that are included in the composition of anti-aging creams, they are still not able to cope with deep wrinkles. To not talk about it advertising.

But in fact, wrinkles are not the only marker of approaching maturity. Look at the foreigners, they don’t struggle maniacally with wrinkles, however, they look great at the same time. They understand that, in fact, indicators of wilting are a range of factors: pigmented or tired skin, weak oval and contour of the face, “puppet” wrinkles, “falling off” of fat sacs in the cheek area. And that means that you need to fight in a complex way. What a good cosmetologist will recommend to you. This does not mean that anti-wrinkle creams need to be said “no”, they are an excellent adjuvant, but by no means the main one.
