Frequently Asked Questions About Anti-Aging Skincare
Is collagen or retinol better for wrinkles?
If you’re looking for the best anti-aging products you might be torn between collagen or retinol. When applied topically, collagen works well to hydrate the skin but it won’t help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol works to increase cell production and exfoliate skin. It fights multiple signs of aging including reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Add a retinol serum to your anti-aging nighttime routine, building up usage slowly.
Which is better anti-aging cream or serum?
Serums are more concentrated than moisturizers or creams. Think of them as the strategist in your skincare regimen designed to combat your specific skin concerns. The most effective anti-aging serums will contain retinol or EGF to target the signs of aging through different approaches. An anti-aging cream focuses on moisturization, offering hydration to plump and cushion skin with less active ingredients than a serum.
What is the best regimen for aging skin?
Fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, loss of elasticity? These are all signs of aging skin. The most important anti-aging product you can use is SPF. Protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays and other environmental aggressors will help prevent premature signs of aging. Look for anti-aging skincare products featuring ingredients such as peptides, antioxidants, retinol, AHAs, and EGF. Always use a cleanser, toner, serum/s, eye cream, and moisturizer. Follow with SPF for day and if your skin can tolerate it, use a retinol serum at night, cycled with an EGF serum.
