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.
• 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.
