I am looking for an affordable wrinkle cream. I am 36 , very fair skin, combination, can break out easy. I use a sunscreen and alpha hydroxy product in the morning but I cannot find a great night wrinkle cream. I do not have wrinkles yet, but you can never start too early!! Tell me what you have tried or use now and why it what it does for you.

I am a former Estee Lauder makeup artist/beauty advisor, and I suggest that you try the Perfectionist line and wrinkle repair serum and the Resiliance Lift Face and Throat cream night formula. Both of these products depending on size will run $50-$78 each. |

If you want to save money, use Cetaphil lotion to cleanse your skin am and pm, great for sensitive skin and doesn't strip natural oils like soap does. Using a product from Oil of Olay or Loreal for night would work just fine for you. You are in the preventitive stage,not fighting off wrinkles, so the rejenerist series in Oil of Olay should be fine for you. Alpha Hydroxy products will make you drier and could create break outs too. Just use a gentle exfoliater 2x a week along with a light moisturizer with sunscreen and you will be fine. |

I need the drier!! I use Nuetrogena Healthy Skin face lotion with spf 15. is that Ok? I have had breakouts since turning 34, hormones I guess. Have used Oil of Olay and had really bad breakouts. I am using Loreal wrinkle cream now, but it seems very heavy. I do use Cetaphil. |

The drier you make you skin the more oil it will try to pump out to compensate for the loss. Maybe you should try ProActive for acne. If it is hormonal you might have to get medication to work from the inside out. But in the meantime, stick to simple things without mineral oil or lanolin, and stay away from products with Myristate in it. Use oil free products and light lotions, not creams, oil free foundation too and watch out for chocolate and caffeine. |

Is Proactive ok? I have never tried it, but willing too. I am an oil slick!!. So I would be Ok with a cetaphil cleaner and like a toner and light cream at night? I do use oil free foundation, Like Bare Minerals, even though I look oily afterwards!! |

If you have a Costco near you you can get Proactive or online. Not crazy about BareMinerals. Prescriptives has a great oil free foundation w/sunscreen. Stay away from Clinique as the sunscreen is harsh. Again, stay away from cream moisturizers as they contain more oil,etc. Stick with lotions that are water-based. |

Big fan of Nivea CoQ10 moisturizers - the entire line is great. I also need the moisture but not heavy creams. I used to use Proactiv - great stuff. Luckily my need for it has diminished.
Make sure you drink lots of water and regularly take Vitamin C. Important for maintaining collagen. I'm almost 50 and between genetics and these things my skin looks pretty good for an old broad.  |

If you have oily skin and try to hard to make it dry this can sometimes make it look flaky. If that happens gently rub a warm wash cloth over you face. My dermatologist thinks the best OTC stuff for wrinkles is ROC, which you can get at any drugstore. And ALWAYS use sunscreen and not just for the wrinkles, but to prevent skin cancer too. I use Cityblock by Clinique SPF 40. But you're right now is the time to use something for wrinkles. My mother is 88 and has almost no wrinkles, I tell her that her face looks better than mine!  |
