The only facial creams proven to reduce wrinkles

The truth is that, if you think about it, growing older is a privilege. The paradox is that although the above statement is absolutely true, we all want to reduce the signs of aging on our face and look younger and more radiant. There are many face creams that promise to do exactly that, enriched with all kinds of “miraculous” ingredients. But if we want to be honest, there is one safe bet when it comes to anti-aging. The No. 1 ally in the fight against wrinkles is none other than retinoids, which are in fact the only active ingredients with proven anti-wrinkle action.

What are retinoids?

The word "retinoids" is an umbrella term under which all vitamin A derivatives are included. By far the best known is retinol, which you can now find in many face creams at beauty counters.

Why use a cream with retinol?

Removing dead cells from the surface of the skin not only gives it radiance, but also allows the ingredients in skincare products to be absorbed more deeply for better results. The normal cell renewal cycle is completed every 28 days. Retinol, and retinoids in general, speed up this process, leaving the skin noticeably more radiant and youthful.

Retinol also boosts the rate of elastin and collagen production in the skin, resulting in more elastic and firmer skin, while also smoothing fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.

Mature skin is not the only type that can benefit from a cream with retinol. It can also be used from the age of 20, not only preventively against signs of aging, but also as a treatment to fight acne.

Attention!

Since redness, irritation, or even peeling of the skin often appears after the first few uses, it is recommended to use a product with a low retinol concentration only once a week during your evening skincare routine, so that the skin can get used to it more easily. Gradually, both the concentration percentage and the frequency of use can be increased, so that the results become even more visible. It is also very important to apply a sunscreen with a high protection factor the next morning, as well as to reapply it during the day in order to avoid additional irritation.
