Anti wrinkle cream?

[Deleted]

I'm starting to see wrinkles around my eyes....ugh.  Does anyone have a good recommendation for a night eye cream?  I have very sensitive skin, so I don't want anything too heavy.  I'm ok paying decent money for something if it will work (slow down new wrinkles), but a drugstore brand would be fine too.  my only requirement is that it not be something you can only get at Walmart....I won't go there.  

I've looked on some sites, but would like some "real people" input.

monkey-  Your name makes me laugh every time I see it. Good one!


I don't have any suggestions for anti-wrikle cream, but I'm interested in reading the replies you get from those that do!

Have a good night!

I have no personal experience with this yet, but have a large extended family with many older relatives. the ladies all tell me Preparation H works wonders on wrinkles.

After you brew a pot of coffee, mix the grounds (doesn't seem to matter if they are flavored grounds) with raw honey and let sit on your face for 10 mins or so twice a week. You can keep the mixture in the fridge for a week also. Rub lightly before washing off. Honey and yogurt are a great face wash in between, as for lotion, Jason vitamin E 25,000 is awesome, just splash your face throughout the day if to heavy for you.

I use olays regenerist.

Have you taken a look at Paula Begoun's website?  She's like a Consumer Reports review for makeup and beauty products.  She started years ago with a review and testing process and only recently developed her own line of product.  (I note this because I'm always skeptical of people who are selling something yet reviewing their competitors.)  I've been very happy with her recommendations and reviews.  Based on her reviews, I use a mix of drug store products with a few I buy from her line and a few pricey ones I buy from a dermatologist.

BTW, even if you don't use Paula's recommendations, do take her recommendation not to use a product that someone recommends to you without knowing some basic things about your skin.  A product for a person with dry skin may cause a person with oily skin problems.  A product for people with oily skin may cause a person with rosacea problems, etc.

OK that one is a visual and I'm cracking up. Imagine if there's a fire & you have to leave the house. Someone knocks at the door. Sorry but that's funny as hell (to me). Women are a constant source of amazement for me.

I love the olay products but the Garnier Ultra lift are also very good.  My favs are the anti wrinkle eye roller with retinol.  This is probably what you are looking for I think.  For the record my 17 year old DD steals it from me occaisionally.  My crack cocaine though is the anti wrinkle firming eye cream.  It comes in a little pot and I swear it has crazy glue in it the way it tacks my skin under my brows up.

[MarleyKeezy78]

It does look funny I will admit   But it works! DH uses it to sometimes, so that's saying something   When I use honey and yougurt my four year old licks my face 

[plugginaway22]

OK beachbum, is that crazy glue the olay or garnier brand?  sounds interesting!

Ok, I have to admit this sounds funny to me too.     And far too much work!  Especially since we don't drink coffee....

really just looking for something to put on my skin before bed.  I'm lazy, full admission here.

I've looked on her site, but there is just soooo much information it leaves me with a headache. That's why I figured I'd ask you guys for personal recommendations.

Is the anti wrinkle firming cream to reduce the look of what you've got or stop new ones?  And is it an under makeup kind of cream or an at night cream?  Same ?s re the roller thingy.

Yeah, I get that.  But what product works really well for me may cause you huge problems, so I'm not sure this is really helpful.    It's mildly interesting, but not useful data.  You don't even know what age, ethnicity, skin types, allergies, medical conditions, etc. the other posters that are endorsing a product have.  It would be like a stranger on the street telling you that his prescription for Drug X really helps him feel better... so what?  Drug X may be for something you don't even have and may cause you to die.  (OK, overly dramatic, most of the stuff here won't cause you to die, but there's simply not enough info to know if it's remotely applicable to you.)

I have been using the Murad aging line for the last 10 years or so.  When I first started buying it, it was one of the only moisturizers that had a sunscreen with an SPF of 30.....and most importantly, didn't smell.

When I first started buying it, a tube cost around $22ish.  It has now doubled and it is one of the items that Ulta rarely allows their 20% off coupons for.

Lol, monkeyunderpants! Just throwing it out there   I get lazy too, sometimes I don't even wash my face

Yup, but I'm really not going to know until I try something. The only thing that really happens to me is breaking out...and I don't tend to do that around the eyes, so hopefully i can try some of the recommendations here and if they don't work, move on to the next one!

[milee]

OK.  I understand.  If that's your approach, though, you'd likely have just as much luck purchasing product based on which bottle looks prettiest.  Save yourself time and hassle and buy the color you like best. 

[zibazinski]

I do vitamin E cream at night, face, neck, and chest area. Olay in the daytime, emphasis around eyes and mouth area. Is lighter cream for me and I like it. When I run out though I will probably buy what my face lady recommends. She recommended Cetaphil for cleansing and this isn't the first time I've heard that.

I have rosacea and ezcema. I used to have severe acne so I thought when I was breaking out as an adult it was the same deal.  Turns out all my anti-acne skincare was making rosacea flare.

I have oily skin so not a lot of wrinkles yet.  I'm using epionce and I like it. It doesn't sting my eyes.  That may mean there are no active ingredients.

You might consider wearing a sunblock/eye product during the day to prevent further wrinkling.  I use this sometimes because it's powder so it doesn't slide into my eyes.

I'm also super lazy and spoke to my derm about it so instead of using retinols all the time I'm just going to go in and do a pixel perfect treatment once a year.  It stimulates collagen and helps with wrinkling.  It's not as deep as fraxel so the recovery is manageable.

[goldensam]

I really like this one from Caudalie.  I have sensitive skin and I'm 29, so still in preventative and first few fine lines mode.  You can get it at Sephora, among a lot of other places.

I use both in the morning and at night but neither is a "night cream".  This is what I saw on quick search. www.amazon.com/Garnier-Skincare-Ultra-lift-Anti-wrinkle-0-5-Fluid/dp/B004DK8TNS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1373229505&sr=8-2&keywords=garnier+ultra+lift+roller This is the roller.

I never realized how high maintance I have become.

For a sure way to get rid of wrinkles do this.. Put your thumb in your mouth & blow really hard. It puffs your body out in seconds and all the wrinkles are gone. I think that it was the coyote that did that after the anvil fell on him.

[NastyWoman]

What really works for me is: stand in front of mirror and look intently at wrinkles ( fortunately not too bad yet), take off glasses and kazaam -> wrinkles are gone. For the dry feeling skin I use Oil of Olay

[moneymaven]

Phytomer. It's a French line and made with natural products. Pricey, but amazing.

I am another Garnier lover! I use the Ultra Lift cream:



and the roller ball thingy:


And, for milee, I am a 40-something Caucasian woman with dry skin tendencies.

"And, for milee, I am a 40-something Caucasian woman with dry skin tendencies. "

Yeah, you claim that now, but a few threads hence, you'll get all offended if I state that I thought you are white.    As MMC informed us on the TSA thread, simply saying your celebrity lookalike is Shaq, saying in a passport situation you claim you're Kenyan like Obama and calling yourself a "brother" doesn't mean you're black.  So I'm pretty sure you telling us you're Caucasian doesn't mean I should make the dumb assumption that you're white...

LMAO!!!!  While I agree he was trying to confuse and confound....c'mon.  When have you ever heard an actual black man call himself a brother or complain about how the man is trying to keep a brother down?  That's just something wasp-y frat boys say because they think it makes them sound tough. 

As for wrinkle creams, I have been all over the place with stuff lately.  I do like glycolic products by NeoStrata.  You can buy them online at sites like dermstore.com 

[sarcasticgirl]

I use coconut oil, not necessarily for wrinkles but as a daily moisturizer. i've tried dozens of creams from walgreens to the name brand make up counter and it is the only thing that keeps my skin hydrating throughout winter. it transitions easily from winter to summer. and it is completely natural, which is important to me.

Hyaluronic acid soaks in moisture, which plumps the tissue under a wrinkle.
