I’m quickly approaching 30 and have become obsessed with wrinkles these last few years. Let’s face it, years of sun worshipping are going to finally catch up with me. I recently visited my dermatologist for my yearly check up, and had a talk with him about anti-aging and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Well, I was shocked when he told me to throw out 75% of the moisturizers, eye creams and other products aimed at us ladies as the latest miracle cream and told me to only buy creams with Retinol, retin-A and other products in them. Basically, it’s the only ingredient scientifically proven to reverse signs of aging.
So, promptly after my appointment I followed his advice. Here are some products that contain Retinol compounds that you may want to add to your daily regime.
Eau Thermale Avene Retrinal Eyes Eye Countour Care is a great daily cream used to combat fine lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness and dark circles. The product contains a healthy dose of Retinaldehyde. It’s $44 at DermStore
Roc Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream is a really affordable way to give your skin the Retinol it needs to correct. Just apply it after washing your face before bed. You can find it for around $20 at most drug stores, or $18 here
I’m a huge fan of the entire StriVectin skincare line. I especially love their Retinol Eye Treatment. It’s a bit steep at $75, but it aims to correct crows feet, creases and puffiness.
