7 best wrinkle creams

The opinion of cosmetologists is unequivocal: no cream will return youth and will not “wipe” wrinkles from the face, no matter how much it costs or whatever miraculous components it contains. However, many good creams can improve the condition of the skin, make it more elastic and minimize the existing age-related changes.

Criteria for choosing a good anti-wrinkle cream

What are your wrinkles?

Both cosmetologists and marketers divide wrinkles into 2 types:

• Surface wrinkles, or mimic, caused by dry skin due to illiterate care or external factors, as well as active facial expressions. "Mimichki" - this is the future of deep skin creases, with which you can and should start to fight as early as possible with the help of moisturizers and soft peels.
• Deep wrinkles, or static, caused by age-related changes in the body. They affect the dermis, and to deal with them only creams and serums, alas, is impossible. In this case, only the use of beauty parlor and supporting home care will help.

Not age, but a problem

Recall that age is not an indication (or contraindication) for the use of a particular remedy. If there are wrinkles, we will fight with them at any age! The only difference is in use: stronger products at a young age are recommended to be applied on the course, and not constantly. "Price expert" advises to pay attention not to the "age" marks on the packages, but to the active components in the composition.

The active ingredients of good wrinkle creams

Anti-wrinkle cream is a comprehensive solution to the problem of loss of skin elasticity, so all the components recommended for moisturizing and protecting the skin will be relevant for it: vitamins C and E, other antioxidants, enzymes, hyaluronic acid, natural oils, etc. They do not reduce wrinkles, but they significantly slow down the appearance of new ones and fill the skin with the moisture it needs. Due to the nature of the composition, an anti-wrinkle cream rarely has a sun protection factor, therefore, Sanskrin often has to be applied separately.

With the components of anti-wrinkle itself, everything is somewhat more complicated. In addition to a strong moisturizing, anti-aging cream can give exfoliating (causing the growth of new cells) and filler-like (filling wrinkles) action. Today, the most effective anti-age substances have been recognized:

• retinol (vitamin A) and retinoids (its derivatives). By itself, retinol is very effective as a substance that renews the skin and stimulates the process of producing its own collagen. However, experts are puzzled over how to maintain unstable retinol and bring it to the deep layers of the skin. Therefore, a lot of "smart" derivatives of retinol appeared: retinaldehyde, tretinoin, tretinol, adapalen and others.
• peptides - very promising substances in the practice of rejuvenation. Short chains of peptides can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, carrying food to the cells. Peptides have many forms and names and are still poorly understood, but the experience of the application allows us to judge their significant effectiveness;
• AHA and BHA acids. Exfoliate dead cells, make them update faster and increase the number of living skin cells, stimulate the skin to produce its own hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin. Acids are successfully used in creams for cell regeneration and wrinkle reduction. The most effective are glycolic (AHA) and salicylic (BHA) acids, but for the use of the latter it is better to consult with a specialist;
• Collagen hydrolyzed. In liquid form, it reaches the deeper layers of the skin, thickens and increases its elasticity. It has a pronounced moisturizing and wrinkle-filling effect, but its anti-aging effect is much lower than that of the above substances;
• Ceramide NP and Agrireline - muscle relaxant substances that relieve tension from the muscles of the face and smooth wrinkles.They like to add to the elite creams. Plants of Boswellia and Centella Asiatina have a similar effect.

Wrinkle cream manufacturers

Luxury cosmetics offers creams from the leading figures of "age-specific" makeup cosmetics - Guerlain, Estee Lauder, Clarins, Clinigue, Dior. Creams of these brands, clearly, are of high quality and comfortable for the skin, and each brand offers its own “unique component” against wrinkles. However, the evil tongues of experts claim that there may not be any fundamental differences in store cream for 5,000 and 500 rubles.

Pharmacy brands are not as advertised, but most of them have excellent anti-aging lines: Avene, La-Roshe Posae, Vichy, RoC, Nuxe and others. They are also not cheap, but the price of these funds is much more democratic - on average, from 1 to 3 thousand rubles (rarely higher - Lierac, for example), and thanks to the noticeable effect, the “pharmacy” is often recommended for skin care with wrinkles. Mass-market, as expected, did not give anything supernatural in terms of getting rid of wrinkles. Green Mom, L'Oreal, Garnier, Nivea, Natura Siberika and Vitex showed themselves better than others, but none of their means can be called revolutionary.

Often, women over 35 (and sometimes earlier) prefer professional anti-aging cosmetics, which provide excellent supportive care for fading skin. There are a lot of “profa” brands, but they are available mainly in salons or specialized stores, and only a beautician will be able to properly advise the right cream. Nevertheless, we will name some well-known brands: NeoStrata, SesDerma, SkinCeuticals, Janssen, Cristina, Magiray, etc.

Top luxury wrinkle creams

1. Avene Ystheal
the best wrinkle cream for dry skin

The average price in Russia for 30 ml: 1600 r.

Avene Ystheal is a good delicate cream with retinol. The popular pharmacy cream is designed to correct wrinkles and give elasticity to dry and sensitive skin. The active ingredient is retinaldehyde, which is converted into active vitamin A directly in the skin cells, which makes it particularly effective. The cream has a very mild effect on the skin and with regular use it visibly tightens and heals it. It can be used as day and night care, but, like other products with retinol, requires serious additional protection from the sun.

Pros:

• without smell;
• requires a sanskrin;
• convenient dispenser.

Minus: price.

2. Clinique Repairwear Deep Wrinkle Concentrate For Face & Eye
effective cream serum against wrinkles

The average price in Russia for 50 ml: 4300 r.

Clinique Repairwear Deep Wrinkle Concentrate is an expensive but effective anti-wrinkle cream.

The manufacturer indicates that the cream restores the “damaged” by time cells in the very depths of wrinkles, because of which wrinkles become less deep. The active ingredient is soybean polypeptides that stimulate the production of proteins that promote the growth of healthy skin cells. However, there is a suspicion that the excellent result is supported by the presence of reflective particles in the cream that visually hide imperfections. But women like cream, and this is important!

Pros:

• the presence of peptides and argireline (muscle relaxant);
• suitable for daily use, including under makeup;
• convenient and hygienic dispenser.

Minus: price.

3. Acglicolic Classic Forte Sesderma Gel Cream
one of the best creams with glycolic acid

The average price in Russia for 50 ml: 4500 r.

Acglicolic Classic Forte Sesderma will provide the effect of "beauty salon" at home.

Good creams with glycolic acid are either purely professional (not for home use), or very difficult to buy. Nevertheless, we still advise this tool to search, because It is available in online stores and salons of professional cosmetics and has earned only positive feedback from women. An acid concentration of 10% is safe for daily or course use. Gel cream not only removes the horny layer of skin, forcing it to be actively renewed, but also has a soothing, moisturizing and firming effect on the skin.

Pros:

• noticeable skin renewal;
• removes mimic wrinkles and smoothes deep ones;
• safe at home;
• there is a dispenser.

Minuses:

"Because of the price I will not often buy, but the cream is good, the skin is shine, smooth and light !!"

4. Cream restores the density of the skin Vichy Neovadiol GF 45-60 years
popular pharmacy cream for face contours.

The average price in Russia for 50 ml: 2100 r.

This anti-wrinkle cream provides high-quality daily skin care after 45 years of age.

The cream acts in two directions: it stimulates the restoration and renewal of skin cells and significantly increases its density, due to which a visible improvement of the skin condition occurs. Especially recommended for women during menopause.

The best cheap anti-wrinkle cream

5. Green Mama Golden Root and Vitamin F
effective and inexpensive cream for the prevention of wrinkles

Average price in the Russian Federation: 250 r.

This cream has a good price-quality ratio for skin without obvious wrinkles.

The cream is saturated with valuable oils, vitamins A and E and plant extracts, which have a strong antioxidant effect and improve skin tone and improve blood microcirculation.The cream will not relieve the deep wrinkles, but it copes with the task of intensively moisturizing and nourishing the skin with useful substances perfectly. Recommended for the treatment and prevention of the appearance of the first wrinkles.

“The cream is not greasy, my skin is prone to fat and I like it very much, it even mats slightly. It’s hard to find a good nourishing cream for such a price, but Aleut is certainly good. ”

“The result is a smoother skin, small wrinkles become less noticeable. On the deep mimic wrinkles of the action did not see. Value for money is great. "

6. Cream for eyelids KORA against edema and wrinkles with Shea butter
quality and affordable anti-wrinkle eye cream

Average price in the Russian Federation: 430 r.

Why in our rating: savior of the delicate skin around the eyes.

Super strong anti-aging remedies (for example, retinoids) are not suitable for sensitive skin of the eyelids and around the eyes, and in fact it needs increased attention. Russian pharmaceutical cream Cora attracts with its composition (only oils, vitamins, plant extracts and caffeine to fight dark circles), delicate gel texture and excellent moisturizing and firming effect, while its price is much lower than luxury products.

Pros:

• good antioxidant, soothing and skin firming effect;
• ease of consistency - can be used under makeup;

Minus: The effect is visible only on facial wrinkles.

Typical reviews of KORA eye cream gel for swelling and wrinkles with Shea butter:

“An ideal cream for owners of dry eyelid skin, including for winter! Wrinkles do not remove, but well softens the "crow's feet", making them less noticeable. "

“With the fact that moisturizes, refreshes and tones, I agree. Only this action is not long. ”

7. Cream Laura Evalar
domestic peptide cream

Average price in the Russian Federation: 380 r.

Laura Evalar - inexpensive anti-aging cosmeceuticals.

The opinion of women was divided roughly in half: some Laura scolded, others praise. We will try to be impartial: the cream contains tripeptides (in second place after water!), The moisturizer is hyaluronic acid, wild yams extract (it does not have a clinically proven hormonal action and, if not useful, then it is harmless) and standard care ingredients (panthenol, glycerin, vitamins ). A decent facial composition, but if it can beat wrinkles, only your skin will respond.

Pros:

• affordable price;
• good composition;
• everywhere sold in pharmacies.

Minuses:

• long-term use is required to obtain the effect;
• recommended for use with Laura tablets (consult your doctor!)

Typical reviews of Laura Evalar cream:

“I use 3 weeks. The cream is very pleasant, well absorbed, the skin takes it well. I haven't noticed any miraculous changes, but for such a price is very good. ”

“The first month did not give any clear result. But recently she drew attention to the almost absence of mimic wrinkles around the eyes. I think this is Laura’s action. ”

What kind of anti-wrinkle cream is better to buy?

We have written more than once about good anti-aging remedies:

for skin from 25 years;
for skin from 30 years;
for skin from 40 years.

But this impressive list does not reveal the whole variety of good anti-wrinkle products. Of course, even the most worthy of them will not give a radical effect, but they can fully improve the condition of the skin, make wrinkles less noticeable and prolong the effect of beauty salon procedures. Look for your cream, do not neglect visits to the beautician and stay beautiful at any age!
