Anti-wrinkle cream for sensitive skin

The opinion of cosmetologists is clear: not a single cream will restore youth and “erase” wrinkles from the face, no matter how much it costs and no matter what miraculous ingredients it contains. However, many good creams can improve the condition of the skin, make it more elastic and minimize existing age-related changes.

Criteria for choosing a good anti-wrinkle cream

What kind of wrinkles do you have?

Both cosmetologists and marketers divide wrinkles into 2 types:

1. Superficial wrinkles, or facial expressions, are caused by dry skin due to poor care or external factors, as well as active facial expressions. “Mimics” are future deep skin creases, which you can and should begin to fight as early as possible with the help of moisturizing creams and soft peelings.
2. Deep wrinkles, or static, caused by age-related changes in the body. They affect the dermis, and, alas, it is impossible to cope with them with creams and serums alone. In this case, only the joint use of beauty salon products and supportive home care will help.

It's not age, it's the problem

Let us remind you that age is not an indication (or contraindication) for the use of a particular drug. If there are wrinkles, we will fight them at any age! The only difference is in use: stronger drugs at a young age are recommended to be used in a course, and not constantly. “Price Expert” advises paying attention not to “age” marks on packages, but to the active components in the composition.

Active ingredients of good anti-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 significantly slow down the appearance of new ones and fill the skin with much-needed moisture. Due to the nature of its composition, anti-wrinkle cream rarely has a sun protection factor, so sunscreen will most often have to be applied separately.

With the actual anti-wrinkle components, everything is somewhat more complicated. In addition to providing strong hydration, an anti-aging cream can provide exfoliating (causing new cell growth) and filler-like (filling in wrinkles) effects. Today the most effective anti-aging substances are recognized as:

1. retinol (vitamin A) and retinoids (its derivatives). Retinol itself is very effective as a substance that renews the skin and stimulates the process of its own collagen production. However, experts are racking their brains over how to preserve unstable retinol and deliver it to the deep layers of the skin. Therefore, many “smart” retinol derivatives have appeared: retinaldehyde, tretinoin, tretinol, adapalene and others.
2. peptides – very promising substances in the practice of rejuvenation. Short chains of peptides can penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, bringing nutrition to the cells. Peptides have many forms and names and have not yet been studied much, but the experience of their use already allows one to judge their significant effectiveness;
3. AHA and BHA acids. They exfoliate dead cells, make them renew faster and increase the number of living skin cells, stimulate the skin's production of 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 to use the latter it is better to consult a specialist;
4. Collagen hydrolyzed. In liquid form, it reaches the deeper layers of the skin, tightening and increasing 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;
5. Ceramide NP and Agrireline are muscle relaxants that relieve tension in the facial muscles and smooth out wrinkles. They like to be added to elite creams. Boswellia and Centella asiatica plants have a similar effect.

Anti-wrinkle cream manufacturers

Luxury cosmetics offers creams from the luminaries of “aging” skin care cosmetics - Guerlain, Estee Lauder, Clarins, Clinigue, Dior. The creams of these brands are definitely 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 a store-bought cream for 5,000 and for 500 rubles.

Pharmacy brands are not so 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 products is much more affordable - on average from 1 to 3 thousand rubles (rarely higher - Lierac, for example), and due to the noticeable effect, the “pharmacy” is often recommended for caring for skin with wrinkles. The mass market, as expected, did not produce anything supernatural in terms of getting rid of wrinkles. Green Mama, L'Oreal, Garnier, Nivea, Natura Siberica and Vitex performed better than others, but none of their products can be called revolutionary.

Often women after 35 (and sometimes earlier) prefer professional anti-aging cosmetics, which provide excellent supportive care for aging skin. There are many “prof” brands, but they are available mainly in salons or specialized stores, and only a cosmetologist can correctly advise the right cream. However, let's name some well-known brands: NeoStrata, SesDerma, SkinCeuticals, Janssen, Cristina, Magiray, etc.

The best luxury wrinkle creams

1. Avene Ystheal
best anti wrinkle cream for dry skin

Average price in Russia for 30 ml: 1600 rub.

Avene Ysteal is a good delicate cream with retinol. The popular pharmacy cream is designed to correct wrinkles and add elasticity to dry and sensitive skin. The active ingredient is retinaldehyde, which is converted into active vitamin A directly in skin cells, making it especially effective. The cream has a very gentle effect on the skin and, with regular use, noticeably tightens and revitalizes it. Can be used as day and night care, but, like other products with retinol, it requires serious additional sun protection.

Pros:

1. effectively fights expression lines;
2. improves complexion;
3. one of the safest products with retinoids;
4. without smell;
5. requires Sanskrin;
6. convenient dispenser.

Minus: price.

Typical reviews about Avene Ysthal:

“It’s the best for dry skin, it nourishes very well, in the morning the skin is rested, radiant and smooth. Expression wrinkles are actually smoothed out. Plus it also relieves irritation, flaking and itching.”

2. Clinique Repairwear Deep Wrinkle Concentrate For Face & Eye
effective anti-wrinkle cream-serum

Average price in Russia for 50 ml: 4300 rub.

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

The manufacturer indicates that the cream restores cells “damaged” by time in the very depths of wrinkles, which is why wrinkles become less deep. The active component is soy polypeptides, which 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, which visually hide imperfections. But women like the cream, and this is the main thing!

Pros:

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

Minus: price.

Typical reviews O cream Clinique Repairwear Deep Wrinkle Concentrate For Face & Eye:

“Really decent cream. His skin loves him - well-groomed, moisturized, smooth, healthy complexion. Minor skin irregularities disappear without a trace. One of the best products for your money."

“I use it on oily skin, and it only makes it look better. It applies and absorbs great! A solid 6 on a five-point scale – for price and effect.”

3. Gel-cream Acglicolic Classic Forte Sesderma
one of the best glycolic acid creams

Average price in Russia for 50 ml: 4500 rub.

Acglicolic Classic Forte Sesderma will provide the effect of a “beauty salon” at home.

Good creams with glycolic acid are either strictly professional (not for home use) or are very difficult to buy. However, we still recommend looking for this remedy, because... it is available in online stores and professional cosmetics salons and has earned only positive reviews from women. An acid concentration of 10% is safe for daily or course use. The gel cream not only removes the stratum corneum of the skin, causing it to actively renew itself, but also has a soothing, moisturizing and tightening effect on the skin.

Pros:

1. noticeable skin renewal;
2. removes facial wrinkles and smoothes deep ones;
3. safe at home;
4. there is a dispenser.

Minuses:

1. high price;
2. can only be purchased in a beauty salon and in online stores;
3. As a warning: it is mandatory to use Sanskrin with a high protective factor.

Typical reviews of gel cream Acglycolic Classic Forte Sesderma 50 ml:

“The first time I used it at night, in the morning I was stunned by my skin - toned, light, pores are almost invisible, I didn’t expect such a quick effect.”

“Because of the price, I won’t buy it often, but the cream is good, the skin is shiny, smooth and light!!”

4. Cream restoring skin density Vichy Neovadiol GF 45-60 years
popular pharmaceutical cream for facial contours.

Average price in Russia for 50 ml: 2100 rub.

This anti-wrinkle cream provides quality daily care for skin after 45 years.

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 in skin condition occurs. Especially recommended for women during menopause.

Pros:

1. makes wrinkles less visible;
2. hypoallergenic, paraben-free;
3. improves complexion;
4. There are options for different skin types.

Minuses:

1. relatively expensive, provided that you need to use it constantly;
2. packaging - a jar (but there is an option of 40 ml in a tube).

Typical reviews of Vichy Neovadiol GF 45-60 years:

“I saw a noticeable lifting effect after 4 weeks of daily use, the oval of the face became clearer, the skin smoothed out and looked moisturized and fresh.”

“Good cream. Makes the skin elastic and dense if used for a long time. When you stop using it, the skin returns to a dull state.”

The best inexpensive wrinkle creams

5. Green Mama “Golden root and vitamin F”
effective and inexpensive wrinkle prevention cream

Average price in the Russian Federation: 250 rub.

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

The cream is rich in valuable oils, vitamins A and E and plant extracts, which have a strong antioxidant effect and increase skin tone and improve blood microcirculation. The cream will not get rid of deep wrinkles, but it does an excellent job of intensively moisturizing and nourishing the skin with useful substances. Recommended for the treatment and prevention of the appearance of the first wrinkles.

Pros:

1. good composition;
2. affordable price;
3. packaging – tube;
4. light matting effect.

Minuses:

1. there is no Sanskrin despite the fact that the cream is stated as day and night;
2. ineffective for deep wrinkles.

Typical reviews of Green Mama “Golden root and vitamin F":

“The cream is not greasy, my oily skin really likes it, it even mattifies slightly. It’s hard to find a good nourishing cream at this price, but Aleut is certainly good.”

“The result is smoother skin, fine wrinkles have become less noticeable. I didn’t see any effect on deep expression wrinkles. The price-quality ratio is excellent.”

6. Cream-gel eyelid CORA against swelling and wrinkles with Shea butter
high-quality and affordable cream against wrinkles around the eyes

Average price in the Russian Federation: 430 rub.

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

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

Pros:

1. good antioxidant, soothing and skin strengthening effect;
2. light consistency - can be used under makeup;

Minus: the effect is visible only on facial wrinkles.

Typical reviews of CORA eye cream-gel against swelling and wrinkles with Shea butter:

“An ideal cream for those with dry eyelid skin, including for winter! It doesn’t remove wrinkles, but it does a good job of softening crow’s feet and making them less noticeable.”

“I agree with the fact that it moisturizes, refreshes and tones. But this action does not last long.”

7. Cream Laura Evalar
domestic peptide cream

Average price in the Russian Federation: 380 rub.

Laura Evalar is an inexpensive anti-aging cosmeceutical.

The opinions of women are divided approximately in half: some criticize Laura, others praise her. Let's try to be impartial: the cream contains tripeptides (in second place after water!), a humidifier - hyaluronic acid, wild yam extract (has no clinically proven hormonal effect and, if not useful, is definitely harmless) and standard caring components (panthenol, glycerin, vitamins ). A decent composition for facial care, but whether it can defeat wrinkles, only your skin will answer.

Pros:

1. affordable price;
2. good composition;
3. sold everywhere in pharmacies.

Minuses:

1. long-term use is required to obtain the effect;
2. recommended to use together with Laura tablets (consult your doctor!)

Typical reviews of Laura Evalar cream:

“I’ve been using it for 3 weeks. The cream is very pleasant, absorbs well, the skin accepts it well. I haven’t noticed any miraculous changes yet, but for the price it’s very good.”

“The first month did not produce any obvious results. But recently I noticed the virtual absence of facial wrinkles around the eyes. I think it’s Laura’s doing.”

Which anti-wrinkle cream is better to buy?

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

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

But this impressive list will not reveal the whole variety of good remedies for fighting wrinkles. Of course, even the most worthy of them will not give a radical effect, but they are quite capable of improving the condition of the skin, making wrinkles less noticeable and prolonging the effect of salon cosmetic procedures. Look for your cream, don’t neglect visits to a cosmetologist and stay beautiful at any age!

Every woman sooner or later thinks about choosing an anti-wrinkle cream. Moreover, unfortunately, it will not be possible 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. Let's try to navigate the wide selection.

Features of anti-wrinkle creams

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

Advantages and properties of creams

A wrinkle-smoothing cream, as a rule, is quite capable of replacing full-fledged care. It performs such functions.

Moisturizing and/or nutrition, because Dry skin also contributes to the formation of wrinkles.

Toning the skin, that is, activating processes occurring in it that slow down with age.

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

Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis for firmness and freshness.

“Any cream should be selected according to the condition of the skin, and at the same age it can be completely different and depend on both genetics and the influence of external factors (by the way, much more on the latter). Read the packaging carefully to understand what the product is for."

Anti-wrinkle creams include:

peptides - in particular, argireline, known for its relaxing effect on the skin.

Instant visual results are provided by:

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

“For expression lines, you just need to replenish the level of moisture and fill the skin with nutrients, but for menopausal ptosis, stronger products are needed. Using creams “not appropriate for your age” will not give any results. If the tissues do not show age-related changes, then anti-aging care simply will not work.”

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

Rating of anti-wrinkle creams after 25 years

Rating of anti-wrinkle creams after 40 years

“From the age of 45, the formation of wrinkles is facilitated by a decrease in skin elasticity and a slowdown in cell renewal processes. It is necessary to use formulas that actively affect the structure of the skin and increase elasticity.”

Complex care-sculptor “Age Expert 45+”, SPF 15, L’Oréal Paris convenient to use as a day cream (it contains a UV filter) and combined with a night cream from the same series. “Sculptor” has a comprehensive anti-aging effect: smoothes wrinkles thanks to retinopeptides (retinol + peptides), tightens facial contours due to the protensil complex.

The skin more effectively resists adverse environmental factors and the aging process.

Rating of anti-wrinkle creams after 50 years

“From the age of 55, when the level of female sex hormones, which are responsible, among other things, for the production of protective lipids, decreases, it is important to pay attention to preventing excessive dryness of the skin, which contributes to the formation of wrinkles and dullness. To do this, it is necessary first of all to compensate for the deficiency of lipids that come from food, for example, include sea fish rich in unsaturated fatty acids in the diet at least three times a week.”

Anti-aging serum “Revitalift Laser X3”, L’Oréal Paris smoothes wrinkles thanks to fragmented hyaluronic acid, which improves skin turgor, and proxylane, which affects collagen synthesis. Capryloyl-salicylic acid stimulates skin renewal and helps even out tone and texture. And vitamin E has an antioxidant effect.

Nourishing balm that increases skin density, “Neovadiol Majistral” for very dry skin, Vichy combines a complex of oils rich in omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids, which are usually lacking after 55 years, with the Proteic Gf complex and proxylane, which stimulate collagen production. As a result, the balm nourishes the skin and increases its density.

Anti-wrinkle cream helps slow down the aging process, restore lost freshness to the skin and hide the signs of age. Anti-aging products are present in the product line of almost all cosmetic companies. Among luxury cosmetics, the brands Clarins and Christian Dior are especially popular. Some women prefer professional cosmetics - SesDerma, Christina, Skin Doctors. Pharmacy brands such as Vichy, Avene, Kora are less advertised, but produce no less effective anti-aging products. How to choose a truly effective remedy among such a variety? We analyzed reviews from women and cosmetologists and compiled a rating of the best anti-wrinkle creams for the face and skin around the eyes.

The best anti-wrinkle creams for the face

A good anti-wrinkle cream must contain active ingredients that intensively moisturize and nourish, increase turgor, firmness and elasticity, smooth the skin, and tighten facial contours.

1. Moisturizing components and antioxidants (vitamins C and E, enzymes, hyaluronic acid, natural oils). These substances will not reduce the number of wrinkles, but will slow down the aging process and prevent the appearance of new wrinkles and relieve dry skin.
2. Retinol (vitamin A) and retinoids (retinaldehyde, tretinol, adapalene, tretinoin and other vitamin A derivatives). Stimulate the processes of cellular regeneration and collagen production, thereby maintaining the elasticity of the skin.
3. ANA and BHA acids – exfoliate the upper keratinized cells of the epidermis, activate renewal processes, the synthesis of elastin, collagen, hyaluronic acid. The most potent are salicylic and glycolic acids. However, before using them, it is better to consult a cosmetologist.
4. Peptides. They nourish cells in the deep layers of the skin and help reduce the number of wrinkles, which has already been confirmed by various studies. Blocking peptides relax facial muscles, while stimulating peptides activate collagen synthesis. Both have a powerful anti-aging effect and are recommended for mature skin with pronounced signs of aging.
5. Hydrolyzed collagen. It is the liquid form of collagen that is able to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, increasing its elasticity. Moisturizes well and fills wrinkles.
6. Muscle relaxants (NP ceramides, argireline, boswellia and Asian centella plant extracts). Relaxes facial muscles, thereby helping to smooth out wrinkles.
