The best creams after 40 years

Criteria for choosing the best cream after 40

Is there a cream of old age? Marketer will answer "yes"! The beautician will honestly say no. Unfortunately, no cream can prevent aging and completely eliminate wrinkles that have already appeared. However, funds in jars and tubes, too, can do a lot, and the Price Expert assures that effective skin care does not exist for people over 40 years old.

Required Ingredients

A good cream after 40 years should have a pretty strong effect - reduce wrinkles, improve blood circulation, lighten pigment spots, give the skin intensive hydration and nutrition. The actions of familiar components that have successfully helped the skin at 30 or 35 years old, such as panthenol, betaine, vitamins A, C, E, hyaluronic acid, natural oils, enzymes (coenzyme Q10) and plant extracts, are not enough. Stronger substances come to the aid of fading skin:

• proteins (protein compounds): collagen, elastin, keratin and others. You need to know an important feature: pure collagen is impossible to “rub” into the skin. Creams that contain collagen are shown to moisturize the skin at best. For mature skin, look not for collagen itself, but for its derivatives, for example, amino acids that can penetrate the skin more deeply;
• peptides (oligopeptides, tripeptides, pentapeptides, polypeptides, matrixyl, etc.) are also protein derivatives that have a pronounced rejuvenating effect, capable of penetrating deep into the skin and beneficially affect cell viability. They stimulate the production of own collagen, and this is exactly what the skin needs in 40. However, the possibilities and side effects of peptides are not yet fully understood;
• retinoids - synthetic derivatives of vitamin A. If up to 40 cosmetologists advise using retinoids in very limited quantities, now it is time to use them actively. These substances make skin cells renew faster, eliminate pigmentation and give a visual effect of wrinkles. The most popular retinoids: retinol, tretinoin (retinoic acid), retinol palmitate, retinaldehyde, Adapalene, Tazarotene, but it is likely that this list will soon be updated with new, even more effective substances. Today, peptides and retinoids are the most effective (but also the least studied) “additives” in creams after 40 years.

Face cream manufacturers after 40 years

Almost all well-known cosmetics brands offer their “youth technology”. The price of a jar of anti-aging cream 50 ml can vary from 200 to 10-15 thousand rubles!

However, do not forget that the final benefit of the product is not determined by the price, but by the positive changes that the skin experiences from using the cream. If you can’t imagine skin care without luxury products, then Clarins, Guerlain, Estee Lauder, Lancome, Chanel, Sisley, Magigrey and other creams come to the rescue. »Packaging - beautiful, but unhygienic.

In comparison with the expensive luxury, the more affordable and quite effective mass-market creams from the brands Olay, Loreal, Neutrogina, Garnier have recommended themselves well. Russian companies: "Black Pearl", "Natura Siberika" and others also have their own developments in the field of rejuvenation and use the latest achievements of cosmetology. Adjacent to them are inexpensive, but also noteworthy cream from "Viteks" (especially the professional series). These products are much cheaper than imports, but better or worse, only your skin can respond.

But, perhaps, the pharmacy lines of face creams of companies Avene, RoC, La Roche Posae, Vichy, Cora, Evalar should be recognized as the most effective for mature skin.They differ from store cosmetics: the most serious research base, the latest components in the composition (the same peptides and retinoids are found in almost every pharmacy cream), hypoallergenic, almost always - the presence of a good SPF and PPA factor.
