Skin Care Treatments

I have a 4% alpha hydroxy anti-wrinkle cream, and it doesn’t say how long I have to leave it on. The scent is very strong, and 1) my cat tries to lick it at night, and 2) it conflicts with my perfume.

Is there a time limit that the cream stops working at? A certain number of hours until I can wash it off?

4% is very weak. Most research focus on 8% or higher.

At 4%, you do not need to wash it off.

What is the name of the product? If you want a scent-free alternative that you can leave on overnight or during the day, they are:

Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Lotion with 10% glycolic acid
Alpha Hydrox Oil-Free Formula (for oily skin) with 10% glycolic acid
Paula’s Choice Exfoliating 8% Alpha Hydroxy Acid Gel
Paula’s Choice Skin Revealing Body Lotion with 10% AHA

If you are not familiar with alpha hydroxy acids, then you are likely to get irritated. If so, then you can wash it off after a 5-10 minutes or as long as you can handle it. Overtime, your skin build tolerance to the acid and you can leave it on for longer.

I just recent bought a Clarins Multi Active Jour Multi Active Day Cream Early Wrinkle Correction and i wonder if i can start using it now and i’m 25 years old. My friend said i shouldn’t be using it now ’cause the early you start it the more wrinkle and age you will have, but my sister said i should start the early wrinkle correction and sunscreen ASAP now, the early the better. What do you think?

Why would wrinkle cream give you wrinkles, just because you are 25?

You should start using a daily moisturizer (with spf) on your face / ears / neck when you are about 15 or 16, and then start using anti-wrinkle cream around your eyes and your neck (in addition to your daily moisturizer) once you start seeing wrinkles, or about 30 or so.

See your dermatologist for all the details.

I think i might a wrinkle between my eyebrows and im 17 years old but it possibly could because of me shaving my unibrow. its not very visible. is it okay if i use a wrinkle cream or will using the wrinkle cream cause wrinkles or harmful sideeffects. please help.

I find your Too young you DONT need it is probably Dry skin exfoliate
apply hydrating eye cream like Palmers cocoa butter eye cream
cheap work is MILD not harsh eye cream.

also Shea butter , cocoa butter and Vitamin E oil is great for dry and dehydrated skin
also remember to use sunscreen to prevent damaging on your skin .

Best time to use Anti aging skin care like eye cream, face lotion for wrinkles is 20 up.
