Anti-Aging Cream & Anti-Wrinkle Cream

Anti-aging cream or anti-wrinkle cream: what is the difference?

In everyday language, both terms are often used interchangeably. Strictly speaking, they differ in focus:

• Anti-wrinkle cream: focuses on fine lines and expression lines and visibly smooths the skin's surface.
• Anti-aging cream: takes a broader approach and also addresses firmness, moisture, barrier function and protection against environmental stress.

All our creams combine both: they visibly smooth wrinkles and strengthen the skin as a whole.

How to recognise a good anti-aging cream

• Actives against wrinkles: peptides such as Syn-Ake and SmoothM8 visibly soften expression lines.
• Retinol alternative: bakuchiol, a plant-based active, supports skin renewal, gently and without the typical irritation.
• Rich lipids: avocado, argan and almond oil compensate for the skin's declining oil production.
• Barrier protection: Ceramide NP and Kalpariane strengthen the skin's protective function.
• Antioxidants: vitamin E, ectoin and ergothioneine protect against free radicals.

Frequently asked questions about anti-aging creams

• When should I start using an anti-aging cream?
  From around 30, when collagen production slows down noticeably. A light formula such as the Face Cream Smooth 100 is ideal for prevention, while mature skin benefits from rich creams such as the CytoLine Cream 100.
• Which anti-wrinkle cream suits me?
  That depends on your skin type. For normal skin, a day cream such as the Face Cream Smooth 100 is a good fit. Dry skin benefits from the Cream Special or the Cream Extraordinary. For demanding skin, THE BEST Face is ideal. You can find out what matters when choosing in our guide best anti-aging cream.
• Is bakuchiol a good alternative to retinol?
  Bakuchiol is a plant-based active that supports skin renewal in a similar way to retinol, but is significantly gentler. It is contained in the Cream Special.
• Anti-aging cream as a day or night cream?
  Both. All our anti-aging creams can be used morning and evening. Many people choose a lighter texture in the morning and a richer one in the evening.
• How long does it take for an anti-wrinkle cream to work?
  The skin feels smoother immediately after application. Visible results on wrinkles and firmness usually appear after several weeks of regular use.
