Anti-Ageing Creams & Skincare are advanced dermatological formulations designed to reduce visible signs of ageing, including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, sagging, dryness and loss of elasticity. Combining clinically studied ingredients with modern skincare science, these products help restore firmness, boost hydration, improve luminosity and support long-term skin health.
What Are Anti-Ageing Creams & Skincare?
Anti-ageing skincare refers to products formulated to slow, minimise or improve visible skin ageing caused by natural ageing, sun exposure, lifestyle factors and environmental stress. The category includes moisturisers, serums, eye creams, retinol products, peptide complexes, antioxidant creams and firming treatments.
These science-backed formulations work by stimulating collagen production, strengthening the skin barrier, neutralising free radicals, smoothing texture and improving hydration. Many users pair these products with Skincare, Cleansing Face Washes, Toners, Exfoliators, SPF Skincare and Face Serums.

Why Anti-Ageing Skincare Matters
Ageing is influenced by genetics, sun exposure, lifestyle and environmental pollutants. Research suggests that:
-
Up to 80% of visible ageing is linked to UV exposure and oxidative stress.
-
Collagen levels may decrease by roughly 1% per year from the mid-20s.
-
Skin hydration and elasticity tend to decline noticeably after age 30.
Anti-ageing skincare helps counteract these changes by replenishing moisture, stimulating collagen and defending the skin barrier. With consistent use, the skin can appear brighter, smoother and more youthful.

FAQs
When should I start using anti-ageing products?
Many skincare specialists suggest starting a preventative routine in your mid-20s to early 30s, when collagen levels naturally begin to decline and early fine lines may appear.
Is retinol suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, but it is important to choose a lower-strength product, introduce it gradually (2–3 times per week) and combine it with hydrating creams.
What ingredient works fastest for anti-ageing?
Retinol is widely regarded as a fast-acting anti-ageing ingredient for improving texture and fine lines. However, hydration and consistent SPF use can produce very quick visible improvements in radiance and smoothness.
Do anti-ageing creams actually work?
Yes, particularly those containing research-backed ingredients such as retinoids, peptides, niacinamide, vitamin C and ceramides. Visible results require consistent use over several weeks to months.
Can anti-ageing skincare prevent wrinkles?
It cannot stop natural ageing, but it can significantly slow the development of new wrinkles and reduce the appearance of existing lines by supporting collagen and protecting against environmental damage.
How long before I see results?
Hydration benefits can be seen immediately. Texture, firmness and tone usually show noticeable changes after 4–12 weeks of regular use.
Do I still need SPF when using anti-ageing creams?
Absolutely. Daily SPF from the SPF range is essential, especially if using retinol or exfoliating acids, as these can increase sun sensitivity.
Can men use anti-ageing skincare?
Yes. Anti-ageing formulations are effective regardless of gender. Many men prefer lighter gel textures or simple, multi-purpose products combined with cleansers and SPF.
Is it safe to use anti-ageing products during pregnancy?
Strong retinoids and some acids are usually not recommended during pregnancy. Instead, focus on pregnancy-friendly options like hydrating serums, vitamin C, ceramides and gentle moisturisers. Always check with a healthcare professional.
