MY
TOP 5 BEST ANTI WRINKLE CREAMS For 2018:
Authors note: The
following are my favorite anti-wrinkle creams of 2018. Many of them are available
over the counter but a few will require a prescription from
your physician. I update this post approx. every year, so be sure to check
out if my choices change for 2019.
5. MYCHELLE POLYPEPTIDE CREAM:
I like this product for a few reasons. First, it's totally organic so I don't
need to worry about a lot of chemicals being applied to my skin. Plus, it is
super gentle to my skin (especially in unscented form), which is so important
given my sensitive skin. But perhaps even more importantly than this is
the fact that it works on my skin for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It is
not nearly as effective as botox, but I have found this cream to noticeably
reduce wrinkles and fine lines around my eyes and mouth .The cost: About
$45 @ iHerb or $40 with an iHerb code listed on this site.
4. FINACEA: Or any
high concentration of azelaic acid cream ( at least 10%) for that matter will
do. I like Finacea because it works excellently removing age spots on my
face. I was a total sun worshiper when I was younger, so I had a lot of
discoloration by the time I hit my early 30s. This product is definitely the
best skin brightening ingredient on the market right now. Cost: $150 for a 50
gram tube of Finacea available only by RX. If you can't afford this
cream, there are less concentrated forms on the market, but I have found
10%-15% azelaic to work best.
2. Mad Hippie Face Cream: I
like this cream for a few reasons. 1. it has Matrixyl 3000 which I have
mentioned works great for wrinkles. 2. This product is loaded with other
peptides which I have found do an excellent job relaxing my facial muscles
around my eyes and thus reducing wrinkles. This product does not work as good
as botox by any means, but it does do a good job reducing fine lines and
wrinkles. This product is also very gentle, making it perfect for those with
sensitive skin . Perhaps the best part of this is its low cost. Cost:
About $40 @ stores like iHerb or Vitacost.
1. RETIN-A So it's probably not a surprise that
rein-a lands the #1 spot. Retin-a (not the same as retinoic acid) works
wonderfully for me, able to get rid of wrinkles, age spots, and keeps my
skin from sagging. The only slight rant I have with this product is that it is
really harsh at first. Even in the 0.025% concentration my skin blisters at
first and is red for a good week. These symptoms did go away, however, and have
left behind much better skin.Cost: About $110, however it can be
purchased for less in generic form.
