Types of wrinkles
Before moving directly to the review of the best creams, it is worth understanding the types of wrinkles and the reasons for their formation.
This will help you take a fresh look at the choice of cosmetics and the need for regular care procedures. What causes wrinkles to appear?

There are several reasons:
- aging. The most obvious factor. With age, collagen synthesis decreases, the skin becomes less elastic;
- dermatoheliosis. Simply put, photoaging, which occurs due to excessive tanning;
- sudden change in weight. Wrinkles often occur in women who have dramatically lost weight and got rid of significant excess weight;
- Unhealthy Lifestyle. Nicotine addiction, alcohol abuse, poor sleep - all this impairs blood flow in the skin and worsens its condition;
- lively facial expressions. Deep expression wrinkles occur in those people who are accustomed to often frowning, raising their eyebrows, squinting and even smiling;
- skin diseases. Some dermatological diseases lead to dry skin and decreased turgor;
- structural features of the skull. Wrinkles on the face and neck occur in people, for example, with an incorrect bite.
According to the degree of severity, skin folds can be divided into superficial and deep. The first ones can occur at a young age, but they are easier to deal with. The reasons for its appearance are dry skin, weight loss, improper care. Deep wrinkles occur with age. And it is impossible to get rid of them through cosmetic products alone.
And yet, you shouldn’t give up and sadly watch age-related changes on your skin. You have the power to delay old age a little and delay the appearance of superficial and deep wrinkles. You need to choose the right anti-wrinkle cream, paying attention to the active ingredients in the composition.
Basic rules for maintaining youthful facial skin
The main conditions for youthful facial skin are still the “three pillars” - cleansing, moisturizing, nutrition. Any, even the most modern remedy against the signs of aging will be powerless if the skin is poorly cleansed. We are talking about both daily cleaning and peeling, the frequency of which is calculated depending on your age. The renewal cycle of young skin is approximately 28 days, and that of older skin is twice as long. The older a woman or man is, the more often it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the skin of dirt and dead cells. A sufficient amount of moisture and regular nutrition smooth out the signs of age: there is no tightness, creases or wrinkles.
General recommendations will also help maintain youthful skin.
- Walking in the fresh air cannot be replaced by any remedy; experts have calculated that no matter how you ventilate the room, the oxygen content in the air outside will be 20% higher.
- Your skin feeds along with you, so before you eat another muffin instead of an apple, remember this.
- General physical activity accelerates the delivery of necessary beneficial elements to the cells of the dermis; Walking at a brisk pace helps speed up your metabolism overall.
- Alcohol contains an ethanol component, which steals collagen from your skin and disrupts the metabolism of vitamins C and E, but collagen in your dermis equals skin elasticity.
- Shield your face from the sun: No matter how attractive golden skin color is, ultraviolet rays have many side effects - freckles, blemishes, dryness, redness.
- Even the simplest facial massage once a week at home will significantly improve the quality of facial skin and muscle tone and make the face more elastic.
- A good sleep, better than eight hours, restores the energy resources of not only the skin, but also the entire body.

How to choose
In order for the product to serve for a long time and not have any problems during use, it also needs to be selected according to several criteria.
By age
After 25 years, the skin needs anti-aging care. The older the skin, the more intensively and gently it needs to be cared for, nourished, moisturized, and the stronger and more effective products you need to choose. For example, for girls over 30, you can choose regular creams with a slight rejuvenating effect; they will easily remove all the first signs of aging. And for a woman over 55 years old, a highly effective anti-aging cream with a lifting, protecting, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effect is necessary. The main thing is not to confuse. It is necessary to select a cream according to your age category, otherwise the care will either be insufficient or, on the contrary, which is also not good.
Take care of the skin of your face. Buy only products that suit your skin so that it always remains healthy and young.
By skin type
Each girl has her own different skin type. At the moment, cosmetology offers a lot of different care products for each type of face. The main thing is to choose your cream. For example, if you take a cream for oily dermis on normal skin, the skin will begin to deteriorate, and over time the normal epidermis will become oily, but not vice versa. This action only works in one direction. Therefore, it is necessary to select a product exclusively for your derma type.
Cream for the eye area 3Lab “M” Eye
Cream for the area around the eyes 3Lab “M” Eye Visually, the bottle of “M” Eye cream looks as simple as possible, while inside it hides a unique formula, worthy of the Nobel Prize, which moisturizes, soothes and improves the condition of the skin around the eyes, brightens, reduces expression dark circles and puffiness, and also reduces crow's feet and neutralizes even the hint of wrinkles. At the heart of the product is the technology of stem cells obtained from a rare variety of Swiss apples, which, over the course of many years of research, have proven their effectiveness in slowing down the aging process. But they alone would hardly cope with such a range of tasks, so they are accompanied by a bioengineered anti-aging complex (based on protein of plant origin), beautifeye (from bark extract), fimexel (biopolymer), symcalmin (oat ingredient), SWT-7 ( Indian gentian leaf extract) and much more with intriguing names.
