Face Cream & Skincare for Mature Skin

How to recognise mature skin

Mature skin shows several characteristic signs, often appearing gradually from the mid-forties onwards:

• Loss of firmness: contours soften, and the skin feels less taut.
• Deeper wrinkles: fine lines turn into permanent wrinkles, especially expression lines on the forehead and around the eyes.
• Dryness: the skin produces less oil and moisture and feels tight.
• Thinner skin: the skin becomes more delicate, more sensitive and more prone to redness. If it becomes very thin, read our guide crepey skin.
• Uneven skin tone: pigment spots and a dull complexion become more visible.

What mature skin needs

• Lipids: rich plant oils such as avocado, argan and almond oil replenish the skin's protective film.
• Actives for firmness: the MBR FibroBoost Complex supports the skin's density and resilience.
• Moisture: hyaluronic acid and Pentavitin plump the skin and bind moisture.
• Barrier protection: barrier-strengthening actives protect against moisture loss and external influences.
• Antioxidants: ectoin and vitamin E protect against environmental stress.

Frequently asked questions about face creams for mature skin

• When is skin considered mature?
  There is no fixed age. Skin is considered mature when it noticeably loses firmness, becomes drier and wrinkles become permanent. For many women, this happens from the mid-forties, often intensified by menopause.
• Which face cream suits mature skin?
  A cream with lipids and actives that support firmness. If you prefer a lighter texture, THE BEST Face is a good fit. For dry, mature skin, the CytoLine Cream 100 or the Cream Extraordinary is ideal.
• What is the difference between a face cream for mature skin and an anti-aging cream?
  A face cream for mature skin is specifically tailored to the needs of dry, thinner skin and is usually richer. Anti-aging creams are suitable for different skin types and ages. You will find them in our collection anti-aging cream.
• Does mature skin need a separate night cream?
  Not necessarily. Our face creams for mature skin can be used morning and evening. If your skin is very dry, use the richer THE BEST Face Extra Rich in the evening.
• What should I avoid with mature skin?
  Aggressive peels, harsh cleansers and very hot water stress the thin skin barrier. For skin renewal, a gentle enzyme peel is the better choice. If your skin reacts sensitively, you will find suitable formulas in our collection skincare for sensitive skin.
