When to start using anti-ageing products?

Today I noticed, that there are two fine lines right underneath my eyes and they look like wrinkles oO.
Since I am only 19, and have always been more worried about acne than age, I was wondering whether I should actually get products for ageing skin? Are those wrinkles normal? Do you guys have them?

It's totally normal :)
Usually, anti aging products are effective if your start using them when you're 25-30. Keeping your skin moisturized is the key to avoid wrinkles, but using creams with hydrialeuronic acid (the main composing of anti aging creams) at 19 is basically useless :)

At your age, A broad spectrum physical sunscreen, a Vitamin C serum and a diet rich in Omega 3 is a powerful trio and is better than investing in age targeted products at 19.
Little lines are normal so don't be hard on yourself. Often they are exaggerated by dryness, so try to keep the delicate eye area moisturied with a product dedicated to the eye area. Don't forget protective sunglasses. :)

There are different product focused on different age ranges - Avon does it, and so does DHC. Some are preventative, so you can start anytime. Others are corrective. It's up to you!

Those lines are normal it could be due to dryness or sun exposure.
I personally don't think there is a certain age you need to start. Everyone is different. Some people will notice signs of aging sooner or later than others.
I've personally been using tretinoin for a couple of months now and my skin is a lot smoother and I don't get the occasional pimple like I used to.
You could try sing products with Vitamin C and make sure you're using SPF everyday. Just remember that sunscreen has to be reapplied every few hours especially the chemical sunscreens otherwise they can do more harm than good.
There are brands like Shiseido and if you're in Asia, MAC
Have powders that have SPF in them and could work well for touching up both makeup and sunscreen.
Also make sure you're moisturizing even if you're oily

Thank you guys so much, I will definitely look into vitamin c and trying to fight the dryness ;) since I am not a huge fan of fish, it really also might be the omega three :)
Kinda glad though, that I won't have I buy products for ageing people ;)

Omegas are added to juice, eggs, peanut butter...and it occurs naturally in a,variety of foods other than fish. Hope this helps.
