Anti-Wrinke night cream

[iloveparis]

Hi guys. This is a really stupid question

...how can u tell if an anti-wrinkle night cream is working for you or not? I just decided to start using this product, and am currently using the NIVEA Q10 one. I have samples from L'Oreal, Elizabeth Arden and Vichy of the same type of products, and I want to try them after using the Nivea one...but I don't know what exactly to look for (aside from having a time machine and seeing my face 50 years from now..hee hee...) to see whether it is working or not.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Hehe good question, I've always wondered that myself. Check out some reviews and see what people have to say after long term use of certain brands.

Just checked it out, and there's not much reviews though

Yes ..you CAN get rid of wrinkles and YES you CAN prevent them. Hi Kim,I don't really have wrinkes (yet) so it's more of a preventive measure. The thing is, with all the creams out there, how do I know which one works? Do I just stick to one product right now? I have all these samples I wanna try, but I don't really know what to look for in terms of results...

Thanks, Kim

Are there certain ingredients though that I should specifically look for? Since it's a night cream, I don't really need the SPF, right?

Does your day product make a coordinating night cream? I try to use things from the same line of products so none of the chemicals react or counteract each other. Make sure the product is for preventing not correcting since you don't need it yet. I believe your skin builds immunity to products.

I've been alternating between Olay and Nutrogena products since I was 18 and am pretty happy with the results so far.

Great tip

Thanks, Tonya. I didn't even think about the coordinating part. I'm using Clinique moisturizer during the day, then the Nivea Q10 at night. Will have to check whether the Nivea is for prevention or correcting.
