From our article you will find out what are the best creams after 40 years.

Recommendations of cosmetologists for choosing a cream

The famous phrase, that at 40, life is just beginning, was said for a reason. A forty-year-old woman, thanks to the experience of past years, becomes wise and authoritative, new knowledge is revealed to her. She is full of strength, energy, enthusiasm and opportunities to make her desires come true.

But still, time is a little imprinted on her beauty, creating wrinkles on her face. But this is not a reason to be upset, since modern cosmetology has created many tools that can slow down the aging of the face.

But how do you find the right cream? What is the difference between modern designs and those used before? Cosmetologists say that the use of a pharmacy ointment is advisable for women whose skin defects and age-related changes are too pronounced.

But if you have always taken good care of your skin and it looks good enough, then you just need to find a good anti-wrinkle cream after 40 years. To do this, you need to pay attention to:

1. Composition. Buy creams based on natural ingredients. They are much more effective and less allergenic than products with an artificial base.
2. Age category. All lines of age-related cosmetic products are designed to solve specific problems. You don't need to use the 40+ line at the age of 30 - it will negatively affect the skin.
3. Skin type. For convenience, manufacturers write on the packaging what kind of leather their product is intended for. Buy only the right one.
4. Usage time. Day cream and night cream work at different times, so keep this in mind when using. Otherwise, you will not get results.
5. Quality. Buy beauty products only in specialized stores and always check the expiration date. Expired creams are very harmful to the whole body.

Now let's take a closer look at the nuances of the composition that a high-quality cream should have.

Cream composition

So that you can choose the right cream, we will reveal a few simple secrets used by manufacturers. They will help you to correctly assess the composition of the cosmetic product.

A quality cream will consist of:

1. Hyaluronic acid. It is a basic part of any anti-aging product. It has a deep moisturizing effect, activates metabolic processes in the skin.
2. Glycerin. This moisturizer covers the face with a microfilm that traps moisture in the epidermis. But because glycerin clogs pores, it may not work for all skin types.
3. Cosmetic plant and essential oils. They accelerate skin regeneration at the cell level, maintain the correct moisture concentration and protect against the development of inflammation.
4. Coenzyme Q10. It makes the skin youthful and elastic.
5. Vitamin complexes. From them, the skin receives components involved in metabolic and regenerative processes.
6. Protein compounds (proteins). This includes collagen, elastin, and keratin. But their presence in a cream in pure form is useless. The molecules of these substances are large enough, so they will not be able to give anything except moisture. To achieve a positive result, you need to buy a product with various amino acid compounds.
7. Peptides. They have a lower molecular weight, so they better penetrate the epidermis and dermis. They have a pronounced anti-aging effect. But peptides are not fully understood yet, so they can cause some side effects. But this happens very rarely.
8. Retinoids. It is a synthetically modified vitamin A. If it is used in its pure form until the age of forty, then upon reaching this age it no longer gives such a good result. Retinoids quickly renew the epidermis, reduce the intensity of pigmentation processes, and smooth wrinkles.

After reaching the age of forty, the epidermis renews itself more slowly, and this process can last up to 70 days. This negatively affects skin respiration and blood circulation.

The article presents a rating of the best creams after 40 years with various effects. A woman should have at least one representative of each category, since this is the only way to keep the skin beautiful and young for a long time. Remember, your skin will determine the best cream.

I've always taken facial care seriously, so when I turned 40, I decided to buy a suitable anti-aging cream. Having carefully studied the numerous ratings, I did not find anything suitable and decided not to change my beloved Garnier. They just got a ruler for my age. I'm happy with the result, as always.

Inga, 41 years old

Due to certain skin problems, I needed an anti-aging cream with a healing effect. At this time, a close friend of mine bought a Vichy cream. But for some reason he did not fit her, and she gave it to me. For me, this cream is just perfect, because it fully suited my requirements.

Eleanor, 44 years old

Mail all purchased cosmetic products for face care cause me allergies. This got me thinking about making my own cream. I will not describe the details, but I will say that this task was not as difficult as it seemed at first. You just need to choose the right components and then you will not suffer from allergies and will be able to take care of your face.

Ksenia, 48 years old

I bought the Dior cream on the recommendation of a friend who has been using it for a long time and constantly praises it very much. I had tried a bunch of anti-aging products before, but nothing worked for me. Dior effectively removes wrinkles, dryness and sagging skin. I'm glad.

Alla, 46 years old

I used to use expensive cosmetics, but once I had to buy Black Pearl cream. Honestly, I didn't expect anything good from him, but the result pleasantly surprised me. To celebrate, I bought myself the entire series and now I use it with pleasure. Dear women, do not overpay a lot for the brand and try the cosmetics of Russian manufacturers - they are no worse.

Olga, laboratory assistant

Many of my friends complain about the poor quality of Yves Rocher products. For example, I really like their anti-aging line. The products smell good, are absorbed quickly and do a good job. I consider Yves Rocher products to be the perfect combination of price and quality.

What beauticians say

Cosmetologists, like consumers, disagree on which cream is better after 40 years.But each of them claims that cosmetic products must be selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the skin.

I love Vichy products. They specialize in making anti-aging, therapeutic creams that do the job well. Creams stimulate the recovery process, the production of neocollagen. The products are not suitable for many women, but if you are one of the “lucky ones”, I recommend not looking for anything else.

Veronica, beautician

Relatively recently, I started using Belarusian cosmetics in my work. She has a good natural composition and an acceptable price for many. But to get the expected result, you need to use the entire line of anti-aging products.

Natalia, dermatologist-cosmetologist

Anti-aging cosmetics from French manufacturers have always been expensive. But the cost was fully justified by the result. I myself use such cosmetics and recommend it to my clients. The face is not the case when you can experiment and save. Moreover, after reaching the age of forty.

Nina, beautician

The cosmetics of Russian and Belarusian manufacturers are unreasonably relegated to the background, buying expensive cosmetics of foreign brands instead. Our specialists take the quality of the manufactured products seriously, so they are often even better than expensive cosmetic products. I'm a Black Pearl fan. It works slowly but for a long time.

Love, beautician

Dear Ladies! Try the line from the Olya company. In price, it is significantly inferior to luxury brands, but it works no worse than them. Olya's creams contain UV filters, which are very important for our skin.

Anna, beautician

I advise all my clients to regularly and persistently monitor their skin after reaching the age of forty. It is best to use a single ruler, as its tools complement each other's actions. Use not only creams, but also scrubs and peels. Domestic manufacturers offer a large selection of such cosmetics at very affordable prices, so the beauty and youth of your face now depends only on your desire. Also, do not forget that the skin reflects the internal state of our body, so I recommend women to reconsider their habits, diet, quality and amount of fluid consumed.
