Which cream to choose when you have wrinkles and pimples?

The skin profile.

With age, or simply dehydration of the skin, the first wrinkles or fine lines appear (oily skin marks less quickly). At the same time, we can reconnect with a teenage problem (thicker skin + sebaceous glands that produce a lot of sebum =pimples) due to hormonal changes (stopping the pill, pregnancy, etc.).

The problem.

The temptation is to focus only on pimples and use drying products, such as acne treatment, to get rid of them. Except that the wrinkle being largely due to the drying of the skin... it becomes even more visible!

I need.

The best of the best are comfortable creams (for dry skin) that combine anti-aging active ingredients (retinol, hyaluronic acid, etc.) and antioxidants (vitamin A, C). They are associated with a serum with fruit acids or lactic acid for a light exfoliation.

My beauty routine.

If you want a more advanced anti-aging action, use a first wrinkle serum before the cream. It is also good to regularly (2 to 3 times a week) moisturizing masks, which immediately plump up the epidermis.
