Unfortunately, no one can avoid aging. But it is quite possible to prolong youth as much as possible – with the help of high-quality creams for deep wrinkles. Professional cosmetologists are convinced that you should not wait for a “certain” age for this; on the contrary, it is never too early to start. It’s just that different products will be needed at different periods – depending on the type, quantity, and intensity of wrinkles. That is, the key word in this topic is “wrinkles”, not “age”.

Indications for use

Indications for the use of anti-aging cosmetics include the presence of dry, aging skin, furrows and wrinkles on the face:

  • superficial (mimic), associated with dryness and facial expressions
  • deep (static) – age-related.

In youth, more active components are recommended to be used in courses, later - constantly. In addition to expensive cosmetics for the care of aging skin, many companies produce pharmacy brands, as well as professional products. They are used in beauty salons, on individual advice and under the supervision of cosmetologists.

The age gradation of rejuvenating creams is mainly as follows: from 25, from 30, from 40 years.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics of deep wrinkle creams has not been studied. Information concerns individual components.

  • Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) remove the top layer of skin, revealing the lower ones. Rejuvenation occurs.
  • 2-dimethylaminoethanol promotes the growth of skin cells by expanding intracellular cavities. Wrinkles are smoothed out for a while.
  • Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid maintains elasticity.
  • Peptides penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis, stimulating protein synthesis.
  • Botox acts as a muscle relaxant.
  • Retinol has a positive effect on the activity of sebaceous and sweat glands; an active antioxidant.
  • Vitamin E (tocopherol) has antioxidant properties.

Pharmacokinetics of some components of creams for deep wrinkles:

  • Hyaluronic acid is actively metabolized and destroyed in the liver. It is excreted mainly in the urine.
  • The pharmacological effect of Botox is manifested at the site of application. After some time, it enters the systemic bloodstream, where it forms simpler structures and is excreted through the kidneys.
  • Vitamin E is absorbed into the skin, partially excreted in the urine as oxidation products; the other part is subject to enterohepatic recirculation.

Names of creams for deep wrinkles

Super specialists from world companies, clinics, fashion and beauty centers work on recipes for super creams "against old age". When choosing "your" product from the numerous names of creams for deep wrinkles, you must first study its composition.

Anti-aging products contain, in one combination or another, essential components, an important one being collagen. The correct approach is for collagen to affect the deep layers, i.e. to be produced in the cells, and not just to cover the face as part of a creamy mass.

The recipe is enriched with ingredients with a protective and rejuvenating effect on cells:

  • sunscreen filters
  • glycolic AHA and salicylic BHA acids - remove dead epidermis
  • retinol (oil solution of vitamin A) and retinoids
  • peptides
  • antioxidants
  • natural fats
  • Botox or hyaluronic acid (in expensive creams).

By price and effectiveness, the products are conventionally divided into several groups. The luminaries of cosmetology each offer their own unique recipe for “eternal youth,” and experts make our choice easier through various ratings. One of them is the best seven creams for deep wrinkles:

  1. Avene Ystheal – Best for Dry Skin
  2. Clinique Repairwear Deep Wrincle – an effective cream-serum
  3. Acglicolis Classic Forte Sesderma Gel Cream – One of the Best with Glycolic Acid
  4. Vichy Neovadiol – pharmacy for facial contours
  5. Green Mama "Golden Root and Vitamin F" - preventive
  6. Cream-gel KORA for eyelids – against swelling and wrinkles around the eyes
  7. Laura Evalar - peptide.

Hyaluronic cream primer aquabase

Hyaluronic acid is responsible for the elasticity and firmness of the skin, activates the nutrition of the epidermis. It is widely used in cosmetic creams for deep wrinkles, helping to retain moisture.

Hyaluronic cream-primer "AqueBase" is a joint achievement of innovative cosmetology and medicine (FARMA+BEAUTY). The product of NOVOSVIT pharma laboratory contains an active Soft Focus complex, a special texture AguaBase, hyaluronic acid - with a deeply moisturizing, leveling and smoothing effect of furrows.

Effectiveness of hyaluronic primer:

  • Perfectly hides pores, wrinkles and other unevenness
  • makes the skin silky and radiant
  • improves color, mattifies, masks defects
  • creates the perfect surface for makeup
  • useful as a stand-alone remedy.

The primer is applied to a clean face. After absorption, the components stimulate the smoothing of wrinkled skin.

Cream for deep wrinkles on the forehead

For forehead skin, folds of two types are typical: horizontal (one or several long ones) or vertical (between the eyebrows). They are caused by age, heredity, intensity of facial movements, and lifestyle.

All leading companies offer creams for deep forehead wrinkles.

  • Mary Kay (France) – effective against both expression lines and deep wrinkles
  • Estee Lauder (France) – recommended by dermatologists
  • Chanel (France) – useful for women after 50
  • L'Oreal (France) - after 25. But not suitable for everyone
  • Galenic (France) – increases tone
  • Amway (USA) – with the “three minutes” system
  • Lierac (France) – intensive daytime
  • Belita (Belarus) – with collagen
  • Botofit (France) – with a Botox effect, sold in pharmacies
  • "Lifting" (Ukraine) - with natural components, ECO-certified hyaluronic acid.

Cosmetics with a Botox effect are especially useful for forehead wrinkles.

Masks, serums, and creams for deep wrinkles made at home are ineffective in combating this problem. Subcutaneous injections of special substances, implants, facelifts, chemical peeling, and other methods help to radically get rid of them; each of them has its advantages and risks, its own history of successes and failures.

Making Creams for Deep Wrinkles at Home

Homemade products are always cheaper, fresher, natural, and more gentle than store-bought ones. These are significant advantages, but:

  • you have to "mess around" with them
  • cook often but in small portions
  • sometimes it takes longer to see visible effects.

However, many women are ready to share their personal experience, in particular, how to prepare a mask or cream for deep wrinkles at home. From simple (instead of night cream - natural butter or olive, orange, cedar oil) - to complex recipes with exotic ingredients. Among the variety of home creams for deep wrinkles, we will choose the "golden mean".

  1. Steep a teaspoon of linden flowers and chamomile in half a glass of boiling water. After 20 minutes, strain, stir in a tablespoon of oil, and rub until smooth. Apply around the eyes in the evening for 15–20 minutes.
  2. Pour boiling water (0.25 cup) over two tablespoons of chamomile, wrap for an hour and strain. Add glycerin, grape seed oil, honey in a ratio of 1:1:1 to the amount of chamomile infusion, stir until smooth.
  3. Oils: flaxseed, sprouted wheat and grape seed 1:1:1 – 1 teaspoon each, lavender oil – a quarter of the dose, heated lanolin; beat the oil mixture together, store in a dark container, in the cold.

How to use creams for deep wrinkles

Creams for deep wrinkles should be used constantly, saturating the skin with useful ingredients and strictly following the instructions, since night and day creams have different tasks. To enhance the effect, use in combination with other cosmetic procedures.

How to use creams for deep wrinkles:

  • Apply a small amount of the mass to the face with your fingertips, gently smoothing and patting the skin along the massage lines. After 20-30 minutes, blot with a cosmetic napkin. The face and hands should be clean.

Creams or serums with a Botox effect are used in courses:

  • first for a month - every morning and evening,
  • then a maintenance course: two to three times a week for one to two months.

Products with peptides are recommended to be used periodically from the age of 35; they are most useful for women aged 45–50.

To avoid allergies or addiction, it is recommended to change cosmetics every four months.

Even in ancient times, entire treatises were devoted to the fight against aging. Nowadays, the problem is no less relevant. It is quite possible for a modern person to look and feel young regardless of age. Physical activity, healthy nutrition, and high-quality perfumery and cosmetic products will help him with this.

Using Deep Wrinkle Creams During Pregnancy

Oily and acne-prone skin improves during pregnancy, but dry skin becomes even drier. Therefore, it is necessary to make adjustments to hygiene and facial care procedures. But it is better not to experiment with radically new products, and if you change something, then test it first for unwanted reactions. To test, apply a little cream to the inside of the elbow or wrist.

Pregnancy is not a contraindication for the use of natural cosmetics. However, the need to use creams for deep wrinkles during pregnancy does not often arise: due to the absence of such a problem in most women of childbearing age.

  • Young skin usually has enough substances that support elasticity and firmness, but with age and during pregnancy their quantity and activity decrease. Moisture loss is compensated by hydrating creams, vitaminized products, and moisturizing milk. After 35 years, increased moisturizing is required (creams with collagen, fruit acids, lipids). It is not advisable to use creams for deep wrinkles with Botox during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

During this time, you should perform all the usual procedures for cleansing, moisturizing, and nourishing the skin. A warning from cosmetologists: do not use drying lotions and masks with a hardening effect that dry and peel the face.

Contraindications for use and side effects

Contraindications for the use of creams for deep wrinkles:

  • Age up to 35 years

Some experts consider an important component – retinol (vitamin A) to be harmful for young skin and advise to refrain from such products until the age of 30 – 35.

  • Dry skin

This also applies to dry skin, which usually worsens at first from such creams. If there is no improvement, the use should be stopped, and in difficult cases - consult a dermatologist.

  • Pregnancy

Creams with high concentrations and activity of some components may pose a threat during pregnancy and lactation.

  • Skin diseases, injuries
  • Acute inflammatory processes on the face
  • Hypersensitivity to individual substances.

Side effects are possible with:

  • incorrect application
  • special sensitivity to components
  • oxidation of components
  • increased dryness of the skin
  • inconsistency with age
  • overdose
  • due to a reaction to ultraviolet light
  • if the cream is expired or stored incorrectly.

Retinol-containing creams for deep wrinkles should be selected individually. They make the skin too sensitive to the sun and ultraviolet radiation, so it is better to start using them regularly in the fall or winter. In the summer, it is important to additionally protect the face with protective filters. Gradually, the skin adapts. If there are side effects, use another remedy.

Dry skin, which reacts painfully to such creams, requires special care. Special formulas also do not guarantee complete comfort.

Some creams leave stains, greasiness on your hands and an unpleasant feeling on your face.

Overdose and interactions with other drugs

There are no cases of overdose. However, it is known that creams with Botox accumulate in the body. To avoid this, it is useful to take a break after two to three months. The effect of the care procedures lasts for several months, depending on age, aging rate and individual characteristics. The course can be repeated after 3 to 6 months.

Long-term application of muscle relaxants disrupts microcirculation and local trophism, which negatively affects the condition of the skin.

Vitamin A quickly oxidizes when exposed to air and light.

A component called AHA acids neutralizes the effect of muscle relaxants (Botox).

The effect of Botox is enhanced when used in combination with certain antibiotics.

The interaction of different creams for deep wrinkles with other drugs has not been described.

Storage conditions and shelf life

Storage conditions for creams against deep wrinkles:

  • dry place
  • cool temperature
  • protection from direct sun
  • child protection.

Some ingredients oxidize quickly, so it is better to buy them in opaque packaging, capsules with a dispenser. Home remedies should be stored in the refrigerator, in a tightly sealed container.

The expiration date of each product is indicated on the packaging. Usually two to three years. It is extended by refrigeration, dark containers, and protection from light.

Homemade deep wrinkle cream is prepared in small portions, usually for five days. Some recipes remain fresh for three to five weeks.
