Hey guys, I'm looking for an anti-wrinkle cream that actually works. I'm 24 and I have some fine lines on my forehead that I would like to make less visible, I make a lot of facial expressions lol. I don't care if it's high end or drug store, as long as it actually works! Thanks!

Retin A is the only anti wrinkle treatment that is tried & true in my book. There are probably some other products than can possibly help but not as well as retin a imo. But, it's not a quick fix, you need to stick to it. Plus it can be irritating to people with sensitive skin. And even those without sensitive skin can get some adverse effects esp. if the product isn't used correctly (it is usually over applied by most). It is a prescription only product. But you can get some over the counter products that have a weaker version of it in it (retinol) and it can be effective also, but not as well as the prescription only, but still good and effective. ROC & SKINCEUTICALS are two reputable brands. They're not cheap but still cheaper than retin a. Also Neutrogena makes a product called HEALTHY SKIN ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENT which has retinol in it and may be a good one to start with to acclimate your skin to the retinol. Spf is a necessary product to protect the skin due to the fact that retinols make your skin sensitive to burning. But you should already be using an spf if you're concerned about wrinkles.

Vitamin c serum is one of the best I've seen!

Thank you Marleen! That was very helpful. And Meg T I've tried one from Este Lauder that's okay but not great. And thank you Chloe N!! I'll keep all those in mind.

Anti-wrinkle cream by life cell one of the best creams that I have ever used. It is made up of natural ingredients. It reduces wrinkles in just 15 days with no side effects.

Definitely tretinoin (I believe Retin-A is a brand of tretinoin)
Tretinoin is the prescription strength stuff.

The things you buy over the counter are called retinal or retinol and these are about 4x weaker than tretinoin.
A 1% retinol is only equivalent to.25% tretinoin I believe but most over-the-counter products don't even label the percent of retinol so you're more likely getting a very small amount.

Collagen, it's what makes your skin plump and wrinkle-free but there isn't any evidence that the collagen in the cream can be added to your own collagen/adding more for you.

Your best bet is retinol or tretinoin products.
These increase your cell turnover and will help boost your collagen production.

My favorite retinol product are from this brand called "Retinol" it's available at Sally's beauty supply and Ulta. There Retinol serum is amazing, my favorite product in their line. Since it's a serum you can just incorporate it into your routine. Put it on after washing your face but before your favorite moisturizer. It was my fave prior to switching to tretinoin. I didn't... Stop liking the serum I just wanted to go ahead and use the prescription strength stuff

I agree with CholeN, vitamin C serum works.
