What is the best anti-wrinkle cream?

Every facial product solves a specific issue that women encounter during their lives. Anti-ageing serums, anti-wrinkle creams, eye creams, oils and lotions bursting with botanical extracts.

Pollution, sun and stress all contribute to the appearance of wrinkles.

Like signs of the passing of time, they furrow your forehead, form ridges, appear on your neck and around the lips, and line the area around your eyes. Starting at the age of 30, choose an anti-ageing cream or a targeted skincare routine to age gracefully.

Depending on your age and skin type, every anti-wrinkle treatment gives your skin the hydration, firmness, density and radiance it lacks. In this article, we explain what the best anti-wrinkle cream is for your age and lifestyle. We also cover why our anti-wrinkle creams are the best on the market for the first signs of wrinkles in women in their 40s and 50s. To also learn how to apply anti-wrinkle cream, keep reading.

01 What is the best anti-wrinkle cream for the first signs of wrinkles?

To reduce the first signs of wrinkles – the results of a hectic lifestyle, long bouts of stress and fatigue, and not getting enough sleep – we created the Multi-Active range of anti-wrinkle creams with wild teasel extract. This plant has revitalising antioxidant properties that fight free radicals. It’s a natural equivalent to retinol. Day and night, this range protects your skin’s youthful appearance by hydrating it and helping it fight off the appearance of new wrinkles and fine lines.

Our Multi-Active day creams come in a variety of formulas to suit all skin types and to slot into your morning and evening skincare routine. They boost your skin’s natural radiance, for a healthy glow and rested appearance.

Our Multi-Active Day Cream is available in formulas suitable for all, dry and normal to combination skin types. Our Night Cream is available in formulas suitable for normal to dry and normal to combination skin types.

Finish off your hydrating routine with Multi-Active Eye Cream to moisturise and relax this delicate area of the face, and stop premature ageing. This eye cream fights wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness and signs of fatigue in the blink of an eye! Beauty tip: make your youthful looks last as long as possible by applying Double Serum every day before your Multi-Active cream. A cocktail of botanical active ingredients and carefully selected plant extracts that nourish your skin with vitamins, boost radiance and even skin tone.

02 What is the best anti-wrinkle cream for women over 40?

It's in our 40s that the epidermis starts becoming less firm.

To fight all the signs of sagging skin – crow's feet, laughter lines, frown lines and less well-defined facial features – the anti-wrinkle creams in our Extra-Firming range are the best on the market for women over 40. This range is ideal if you’re looking to reduce the appearance of age-related wrinkles, fine lines, crow's feet, under-eye bags and dark circles.

Our Extra-Firming Day Cream uses an exclusive formula with kangaroo flower and organic girdlepod extract to combat a lack of suppleness, firmness and radiance.

Our Extra-Firming creams are available in formulas for dry skin types, and also comes in a protective SPF15 version. This age-defying action visibly regenerates your features by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and resculpting the face. Your complexion comes alive with a boost of radiance and your youthful tone is restored!

We recommend pairing the Extra-Firming line with our new Extra-Firming Energy, for women over 40 whose primary concern is a lack of radiance and a dull complexion. A vitamin blast for the skin with goji berry extract, plus firming and anti-wrinkle action to boot!

Beauty tip: to maximise the effects of your day cream, apply Extra-Firming Phyto-Serum for its dual lifting effect. This concentrated action increases the firming and toning properties of our day or night creams.

03 What is the best anti-wrinkle cream for women over 50?

In your 50s, the skin’s natural ageing process results in a lack of density.

This is the time of life when menopause-related hormonal changes start upsetting the density and radiance balance. Your skin is weakened and needs our Super Restorative range to offset this loss.

Enriched with fair trade organic harungana extract that promotes collagen synthesis for firmer skin, our range for the face, lips and eye area visibly reduce deep wrinkles, lift the face and fight ageing.

Multi-Intensive Super Restorative Day and Night Cream are a powerful remedy that replenishes your skin at every level. Our Super Restorative Day Creams are available in formulas to suit all skin types or very dry skin. Our complementing Night Creams are also available in formulas to suit all skin types and very dry skin.

To intensely resculpt and redefine the facial contours and shape of the face, apply Super Restorative Remodelling Serum before your moisturiser. To make your skin glow, apply Rose Radiance Cream for an illuminated, rosy complexion. Containing hibiscus sabdariffa flower acids to help chase away uneven skin tone and smooth the skin's surface, alongside illuminating pearl and replenishing organic harungana extract that restores your skin’s youthful radiance.

04 Which Clarins innovation restores radiance to mature skin?

With age, three aspects of radiance disappear:

● Luminosity
● An even-toned complexion
● A healthy glow and dark spots appear that dull the skin

Hormonal changes affect the proper functioning of the micronutrient system of the epidermis and trigger this loss of luminosity. As we age, the fibroblast weakens and is subject to pigmentation issues, dryness and a dull complexion.

To counteract this lack of lipids, hydration and suppleness, whilst restoring your glow, only a nutrient-rich expert daily skincare routine can repair this delicate skin. To meet the needs of mature women, we created the new exceptional Nutri-Lumière skincare line. These products contain our pro-ageing innovative skin nutrition, specially developed for undernourished skin. With a powerful active ingredient duo from the Horse Chestnut Tree, this range restores luminosity and leaves skin revitalised, hydrated and radiant. A product of our Clarins Laboratories’ expertise, this invigorating duo nourishes the skin and restores its radiance.

The benefits of this range combined with organic leaf of life extract reactivates the skin’s capacity for self-hydration and the natural production of hyaluronic acid. A cocktail of vitamins and nutrition! Your skin is more nourished and becomes supple, revitalised, glowing and radiant once more.

05 How do you increase the efficiency of anti-ageing skincare?

To increase the efficiency of anti-ageing skincare, we recommend starting a preventative skincare routine at 25.

Apply Double Serum before your moisturiser or facial oil for a more radiant, firmer complexion. It has a unique hydrolipidic and biomimetic double formula with regenerating power.

This powerhouse of skincare technology combines the properties of 21 botanical extracts blended with concentrated turmeric extract, known to help hyperpigmentation.

Organic leaf of life extract boosts hydration and the natural production of hyaluronic acid. Banana leaf extract promotes collagen synthesis.

Quinoa seed extract strengthens the cutaneous barrier. The active ingredients stimulate the skin's five vital functions: hydration, nutrition, oxygenation, regeneration and protection.

A few drops of this anti-ageing nectar every day are all you need for skin that glows with beauty as it looks smoothed and wrinkles are visibly faded.

07 Which routine should I use to achieve totally healthy skin at any age?

Choose your anti-wrinkle skincare cream to suit your age and skin type. That's the most important rule!

Our anti-ageing skincare offers a wide range of targeted products for every skin type.

The day or night creams comfort all skin types, even the most sensitive, with luxuriously creamy textures with a natural, delicate fragrance. The botanical extracts are selected to nourish skin with a carefully formulated and targeted treatment.

Using an anti-ageing lotion or special serum makes these products even more effective. Anyone who enjoys a sensory experience will love applying our facial oils. In a range to suit all skin types, our oils deliver all the essential ingredients for healthy, glowing skin. Highly concentrated in organic active ingredients, they hydrate, revitalise or invigorate your skin.

Supplement this anti-ageing routine by remembering to care for the eyes with an eye care product that targets dark circles and under-eye bags to restore a youthful bright-eyed look!

One last tip: always apply your skincare products on clean skin that has been cleansed of all impurities and traces of make-up. Exfoliate and slough off dead skin cells once or twice a week with a scrub or exfoliating treatment specially made for the face.

Then take the time to apply a face mask to maximise the hydrating and anti-aging effects of your skincare routine. Take your pick from the Extra-Firming Mask or Super Restorative Lifting Mask depending on your skin type.
