Face creams with rejuvenating effect: rating of the best brands

The term "anti-aging cream" speaks for itself. People turn to such cosmetics whenever. Some immediately upon discovering alarming signs of aging, others - after the inevitable becomes clearly visible. Anti-aging face cream is selected depending on the intensity of changes, which, by the way, do not always directly depend on age.

Indications rejuvenating face cream

Indications for use and composition of the cream are tied to the condition of the skin of the female face. And not only female, because modern men who take care of themselves also do not ignore cosmetic offers.

It is advisable to become interested in rejuvenation methods before age-related defects become noticeable: decreased turgor, expression lines, dark spots and circles around the eyes, deterioration of color, fatigue.

• Before purchasing a rejuvenating face cream, you should read the composition to clearly understand: what exactly are you going to treat your skin with every day? Does it contain potential allergens or harmful chemicals?

The criteria for choosing a suitable anti-aging face cream are composition, purpose, suitability for skin type and age, brand recognition and authority, and product cost.

A quality cream should contain, in various combinations, the following compounds: retinol, ascorbic acid, polyphenes, isoflavones, pro-xylane, oxyacids, hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin, peptides, essential and fatty vegetable oils. These components are able to resist the aging process: prevent wrinkles or smooth out the relief if they are present, soften and moisturize the epidermis, replenish the water balance and eliminate excess pigment.

Planet organic

Rejuvenating face cream Planeta Organika contains valuable components extracted from seaweeds of the Norwegian Sea. Fucus, laminaria, palmaria, porphyra - these plants have proven to be very useful in cosmetology due to the abundance of proteins and microelements. They can not only slow down aging, but also rejuvenate mature skin.

• Red and brown aquatic plants are natural antioxidants; they activate oxygen saturation of cells and production of their own elastin and collagen. Namely, these substances strengthen the dermis from the inside, support the contour of the face. Thanks to liquid collagen, moisture is retained in the tissues, preventing the formation of wrinkles.

Another important element for the skin is vitamin E, which prolongs youth and enhances the effect of active ingredients. It is a mandatory component of cosmetic products intended for mature skin. The encapsulated preparation contained in the rejuvenating face cream effectively smoothes wrinkles, increases elasticity, and tightens the face contour.

The composition of the cream "Echinacea and white tea" allows you to effectively improve and improve the structure of the skin. To achieve the desired effect, the cream is used daily, in combination with the same-name product for the periorbital area.

Lucerin

The name Lucerin comes from the alfalfa plant. We are talking about Altai alfalfa, growing in the Altai highlands, in a limited place. In order to preserve the healing properties, the plant is collected exclusively by hand, during the maximum accumulation of useful components in it: natural vitamins and minerals, essential amino acids.

The rejuvenating face cream, in addition to alfalfa, contains stem cells, tocopherol, flavonoids, uronic acid. All of them perform important functions, together providing smoothing of expression lines and then age wrinkles, elimination of dark circles and puffiness, tightening, evening out color and relief, increasing elasticity and flexibility.

• The method of using Lucerin differs from the traditional one. Lucerne extract is contained separately, in capsules included with the jar of cream. The contents of the capsules are added to the cream mass, observing the dosage according to the instructions. The number of capsules varies depending on age: after 40, all should be opened, at a younger age, limit yourself to 1 or 2 pieces. Details are in the instructions, which should be included with the jar.

Day cream, with a pleasant smell, easily absorbed and does not roll when used under makeup. This is what enthusiastic owners of the product write about. According to their reviews, the effect appears gradually and gradually and, most importantly, lasts for a long time.

At the same time, the large number of posts from deceived women who bought obvious fakes online is alarming. Often, a label with the name "Lucerin" is pasted onto the packaging of ordinary baby cream. Doctors also warn against fakes, calling on women not to be too trusting and not to look for miracle drugs from unverified sellers. To avoid disappointment, you should carefully study all the information about each product and the websites offering it.

Night anti-aging face creams

Cosmetologists have long studied that during sleep the skin is more active than during the day, it perceives and assimilates various substances coming from the outside. This fact makes it necessary to select skin care cosmetics especially carefully. This is the basis for the action of night rejuvenating face creams created by world-famous companies.

• Polish brand Lirene offers a rejuvenating face cream with retinol, which penetrates deep into the epidermis, brightens the tone and saturates with vitamin D. The BIO-elastin complex developed and patented by the brand accelerates the production of collagen and elastin, counteracts the destructive action of free radicals, thereby increasing the elasticity of the skin. As a result of its use, the number of wrinkles is reduced, the contour is tightened, and the characteristic age-related sagging disappears.

Anti-aging products for night use are also produced by other popular manufacturers, for example: Solange (Mango), Libriderm (Collagen), Black Pearl (Bio-program), FUTURE FORMULA (Snail extract), Uroda (Melisa), Skinniks (Whitening anti-aging with reflective effect), Garnier (Active lifting 45+), Vitex (Youth vaccine for mature skin), Biotrade (multifunctional).

Night cream serums

Serums differ from creams in several parameters: consistency, concentration of active components, speed of action. Night rejuvenating face cream-serums have a light texture, high content of useful substances, are absorbed and act instantly in the deep layers of the skin.

If rejuvenating face creams provide care and protection, then serums actively restore tissues. It is clear that aging skin needs both products, so modern cosmetologists advise using both cream and serum - preferably of the same brand. There are plenty of them on the market.

• Serum Neuro Glicol+Vit.C by Polish manufacturer Bielinda, applied in the evening, promises radiance and freshness of the skin in the morning. Compensates for moisture loss, reduces pigmentation intensity. The patented unique neuropeptide prevents the occurrence of expression wrinkles. The product also significantly improves the penetration of everyday cream into the dermis.
• "The Power of Gold" - this is the intriguing name of the night serum from Avon Anew. The manufacturer recommends using it for extra moisturizing and intensive regeneration, alternating with the "Power of Proteins" cream. After two weeks, the face should look five years younger.
• The product "BioAqua 24k gold" declares a double action (moisturizing + rejuvenation) - with royal jelly, "golden cocktail", hyaluronic acid, minerals, proteins and other ingredients necessary for the skin. The serum is applied to wrinkles and riveted with light tapping. Effort should not be used: this will not do any good, but it can stretch the skin. The course of application is 3 months.

Homemade Anti-Aging Face Creams

When making homemade anti-aging face creams, you need to stock up on special substances that are added to the "improvised" ones - usually natural food products. The recipe for anti-aging face creams includes honey, castor oil, vitamin solutions, petroleum jelly, water, herbal infusions, wax, eggs, cosmetic oils, fruits, berries, and cream.

The essential components of the cream are water and oil parts, an emulsifier, active components, and a preservative to prolong the freshness of the cream. Special tools are needed for the work: containers, pipettes, stirring sticks, a whisk, and sensitive scales. You can act according to the following scheme:

• heat the base oil in a water bath to approximately 60 degrees;
• add emulsifier and wait until it dissolves;
• pour in water or herbal decoction;
• bring to a creamy consistency;
• remove and condemn;
• keep in the refrigerator.

The advantages are that the composition and quality of the ingredients are controlled personally. The disadvantages are that the work takes a lot of time, since the product is short-lived, and you have to constantly prepare fresh portions.
