Do you use wrinkle creams? Does it work?

Of course, as we all age, we hate those wrinkles that appear.
At least I do.


Do you use wrinkle creams? If yes, what do you use and did they remove, lessen, or cover up the wrinkles? What brand or kind do you use?


What happened when you stopped using creams? Did your face appear to have more wrinkles or deeper wrinkles?
I came across a website that said creams irritate the skin to plump up the skin, which causes it to look less wrinkled. When this particular person stopped. The skin appeared more wrinkled than when they started using the creams.


I have never used wrinkle creams before. I used OTC lotions to keep my skin moist. But I think I might profit from using wrinkle creams, yet I am not sure if they work. I don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars only to find out it was a hoax.


Can you tell me of your experience?
 

Can't help you as all I do is wash my face morning and night with baby shampoo. I don't use any lotions or creams or anything else. The reason I use baby shampoo is because I suffer from an eye disease called blepharitis( not serious for me) and the doctor suggested using baby shampoo on my eyelids. So I just use it to also wash my face. I'm almost 70. I'm sure I have wrinkles.
 
There's a saying...Black don't crack. Even @seadoug knows that one., right Doug. :D I'm 78-1/2 and do not have wrinkles, except on the forehead and even younger folks have those. I sometimes get mistaken for my son's wife (or GF). A dermatologist gave me wrinkle cream with retinol samples over a decade ago...never used any of it. Sometimes I'll put rich, creamy body lotion on my face or Shea Moisture hair and scalp serum, a natural oil.

Since we have hard water, instead of washing my face, I use facial towelettes. Also, I have been taking 1,000 mg of biotin for the past couple of years. Biotin is for hair, skin and nails. I know it's helping my nails, so perhaps its helping my skin as well.

My opinion is that it is impossible to stop your skin aging but, if you take care of your skin - keep it clean and hydrated - your skin will look healthier.

I use a facial wash, toner and moisturiser every morning and evening. Look at moisturisers with SPF. Keep it simple. Don't be tempted by expensive "miracle" creams or very cheap products - a lot of skincare, especially cheap brands, use water as the main ingredient.

I love Neal's Yard products but, they can work out expensive. I like Boots Soap & Glory products. CeraVe and Aveeno. Not expensive brands.

Have a budget and keep your routine simple. Not everything will suit you so, don't buy lots of products. Ask for samples, it's good to try before you buy (y)
