Trust the power of an anti-aging cream, but know what, in fact, to expect from it!

Of course, every cream - or at least most of them - is an investment. But who never had that doubt if they were making the right choice in front of the pretzel, to throw the first stone. With countless components, large labels, and a multitude of goals, it is really difficult to know how effective it will be to treat blemishes, wrinkles or sagging in our <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/beauty/beauty-skincare-body-stretch-marks">body.</a> And when it comes to anti-aging cream, the doubt only increases, after all, there is no lack of options to reverse, pause or at least decrease the skin aging process. However, does everything on the market really work? Does everything that we pass through the<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/beauty/haircare-rules-after-winter-beauty-secrets"> skin</a> really reach the specific target we want? What can we expect from an anti-aging treatment with <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/beauty/the-best-beauty-brands-with-the-best-conscious-ingredients">cosmetics?</a> 
 
According to dermatologist Dr. Claudia Mar&ccedil;al, a member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD), she explains that anti-aging creams work as long as they are guided by a dermatologist, who will assess the need for the patient&#39;s skin, prescribing the formulation of a cosmetic suitable for the changes . However, the performance of a dermocosmetic will always be limited: it may even stimulate collagen and elastin, fibers that support the skin, but it will not have an effect equal to or greater than that of a laser equipment, an ultrasound or a more invasive surgery. 
 
Below, we consult with experts to find out the five main tips to follow and make the anti-aging skincare routine worthwhile. Check out!

Cosmetics must have deep-acting technologies

Dr. Claudia Mar&ccedil;al says that formulations are currently more and more advanced, due to the use of technologies and cosmetics that feature bio and nanotechnology - that is, vectorization of the ingredients, which allows these active ingredients to really reach the desired location. 
 
&ldquo;In the past, formulations hardly passed the first layer of the skin. Today, we are already aware - as a result of research, study and electron microscopy - that those assets that must act, for example, at the dermoepidermal junction (producing collagen 7, which has an anchoring and support function maintaining firmness) are efficient, since there is stimulus in the treated area &rdquo;, he adds. 
 
So, if you want your anti-aging cream to be efficient, in addition to anti-aging actives, nanotechnology is essential. &ldquo;More recently, Drone Delivery technology (Pro Lipo Neo) has arrived on the market, which promotes a delivery of the active ingredient exactly where it must act without losing effectiveness. This is also a good sign to enhance the rejuvenating action &rdquo;, says pharmacist Mika Yamaguchi, scientific director of Biotec Dermocosm&eacute;ticos. On the market, Be Belle brings Be Young anti-wrinkle cream as a novelty, capable of giving the skin an effect similar to botulinum toxin, as it modulates muscle tension and increases the production of collagen and elastin fibers. With high encapsulated technology capable of stimulating the synthesis of essential components for the maintenance of the skin and avoiding the release of neurotransmitters involved in the muscle junction, Be Young brings Argireline and Coenzyme Q10 Liposomes, bionanotechnological actives, which increases its safety, efficacy and ability to penetrate the skin.

&ldquo;Reading&rdquo; your genes can help

According to geneticist Dr. Marcelo Sady, general director of the Multigene Laboratory, we are all the results of the interaction of our genes with environmental factors. &quot;Our lifestyle, our diet, level of physical activity and level of stress modulate our genetic susceptibility,&quot; he says. 
 
There is also a very strong genetic influence that can help to define the right choice of a cream. According to Dr. Marcelo Sady, the dermatologist can order the Dermatogenetics exam. &ldquo;For example, the MMP1 gene genotype is related to collagen degradation eight times greater than normal after sun exposure. There is also the genotype of the COL1A1 gene, linked to less collagen production. It is possible to see, in addition, the lack of genotypes of genes such as SOD2 and CAT, which compromises the antioxidant capacity of the skin to respond well against the action of free radicals &rdquo;. 
 
According to Isabel Piatti, Executive Consultant in Aesthetics and Cosmetic Innovation and Advisor to the Technical Committee for Innovation at Buona Vita, in this case, it is important to reinforce the use of products that fight free radicals, such as the Antiox serum - which brings powerful antioxidants such as Nanocapsules of Vitamin C, Green Tea Extract, Zemea, Coenzyme Q10 Nanocapsules, Dragosine, Potassium Glycyrrhizinate and Ferulic Acid.

Hygiene is fundamental

The more the skin is sanitized, the better the penetration of the active ingredients. Therefore, it is essential to remove the makeup, clean with soap, exfoliate once or twice a week (or according to medical advice) and apply the tonic. &ldquo;The skincare routine, for this patient, begins with facial hygiene, both in the morning and at night, with natural soaps. Right after, do a cleansing with a tonic - if it is a more normal to dry skin without alcohol and with calming extracts, if it is a more oily, mixed or acneic skin, have substances that are more astringent. This product will have the benefit of complementing not only hygiene, but calming, hydrating, mitigating, desensitizing, restoring the pH between 5.2 and 5.5 and leaving the fabric ready for the hydration and anti-aging cosmetics stage &rdquo;, says Dr. Claudia . 
 
But here it is worth paying attention: use mild cleaning products. &ldquo;The more oil you remove with aggressive cleaning products, the more oil your glands will produce to counteract this drying effect. Gentle cleansers will prevent the skin from drying out and the sebaceous glands compensate by producing more fat. We also know that more abrasive products interfere with the skin&#39;s microbiota, reducing the number of good bacteria that act as defenders, &rdquo;says pharmacist Maurizio Pupo, Researcher, Cosmetology Consultant and Director of Research and Development at Ada Tina Italy.

There is no point in thinking that anti-aging cream alone will work miracles. The use of acids, cell renewers and exfoliators can potentiate the action of the anti-aging cream. 
 
The exfoliant Tribeca, from B.URB, has apricot seeds (apricot), which are ideal for moisturizing and sanitizing the skin tissue; as it does not have synthetic spheres, the product can be used every day, unlike traditional exfoliants. For those who usually suffer from the use of acids and retinol, which can cause side effects, favoring the appearance of redness, irritation, sensitivity and peeling, the Italian skin care brand Ada Tina Italy created Retintense 5.0, an ultra rejuvenating and whitening serum. of the skin free of Pure Retinol and developed with Retinol-like peptides, and can even be used during the day and summer. &ldquo;Retinol-Like Peptides are four times more potent than Pure Retinol and capable of increasing collagen production in the skin by 20%, providing a lifting effect, facial harmonization, wrinkle filling and bleaching of blemishes without causing side effects&rdquo;, he states the pharmacist Maurizio Pupo, Researcher, Cosmetology Consultant and Director of Research and Development at Ada Tina Italy. Retintense also brings the Whitening Niacinamide, the Very Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid and the plant-TGF&beta;2 growth factor, which enhances the production of collagen. 
 
In addition, according to Dr. Claudia Mar&ccedil;al, some supplements can also be indicated, as they act from the inside out by promoting collagen stimulation, acting as antioxidants, anti-glycers (reversing the effect of sugar on the skin), anti-inflammatory and nutritious. &quot;We can recommend InCell for cellular nutrition, Exsynutriment for stimulating supporting proteins, Oral FC for anti-inflammatory effect, Glycoxil to prevent collagen degradation by excess sugar and carbohydrates, in addition to Polypodium Leucotomos and Lycopene to enhance sun protection&quot; says Dr. Claudia. In addition, the topical photoprotector is of fundamental importance to prevent further damage from forming while you treat your skin. &quot;Before worrying about a routine that contains acids and antioxidants, we must have the habit of regular use of sunscreen, it is the most important anti-aging cream&quot;, says the dermatologist Dr. Daniel Cassiano, from the GRU Clinic and a member of the Brazilian Society Dermatology.

According to dermatologist Dr. Paola Pomerantzeff, a member of the SBD, from the age of 30 onwards, we observed the first signs of skin aging due to the onset of decreased collagen and elastin and decreased sebaceous secretion with alteration of the skin&#39;s hydration level. &ldquo;With that, we can observe the first fine wrinkles around the eyes and the appearance of spots. Therefore, we must use moisturizers with antioxidants and stimulators of collagen production. If the patient has spots, the use of depigmenting agents and cell renewers are welcome, as long as there is guidance by the dermatologist &rdquo;, says the doctor. A few decades later, negative volumetry may appear on the facial skin, that is, gaps, depressions and the formation of lines and wrinkles that are increasingly deep, mainly due to natural aging and cumulative aggressions (from sun exposure and sun exposure). pollution) suffered over the years. &ldquo;In this case, the skincare routine requires attention to hydration, use of antioxidants, photoprotectants and powerful substances such as peptides and growth factors to repair, recover and stimulate collagen in the skin. As the wrinkles are already deeper, the intensity and concentration of the assets are greater &rdquo;, says Dr. Claudia, who indicates the substances: resveratrol, alistin, vitamin C, arct-alg, hyaxel, overnight repair, vitamin E and the ferulic acid.

Therefore, the best thing to do is to seek help from a dermatologist and follow his or her guidelines for optimal skin treatment.
