Wow, can you believe how quickly time flies? It feels like just yesterday you were rocking that radiant, youthful skin, and now those unsightly fine lines and wrinkles seem to have appeared out of nowhere. Your skincare routine is probably lacking a powerful anti aging cream that can slow down, delay and even repair ageing signs within the comfort of your own home!
Take goodcare of your skin it is your body’s clothing
So, would you prefer to wear wrinkles and crumpled clothes outside?
We assume NO!
Then why let your skin become full of creases and lines that are undebatably the true ageing signs?
What Do We Mean By An Anti Aging Cream?
You know what? Having a decent moisturiser for face just won’t do the trick anymore.
Moisturiser Vs. Anti Aging Cream — Know The Difference
Picture this: Your skin’s got its own little natural barrier, like a protective wall made of dead skin cells and lipids. This natural skin fence does some serious heavy lifting for you:
- Firstly, it shields your skin from all those harmful UV rays, pollution, bacteria, and dirt out there.
- Secondly, it ensures that moisture stays locked in your skin, keeping it soft and smooth.
Who doesn’t love smooth, supple skin, right?
- Thirdly, this barrier helps balance the levels of lipids, making sure your skin gets just the right amount of moisture it needs.
Having said that, we are not downplaying the need for skin moisturising. Hydrating your skin is, in fact, crucial for keeping it in great shape.
But, people there is a lot more you need to do if you hope to keep those dreaded signs of ageing at bay and slow down the hands of time.
That is where the mighty anti-aging creams step in! So are they your regular moisturisers?
Oh no, they’re supercharged to tackle the 3 major signs of ageing:
- Dry skin
- Dynamic wrinkles as a result of frequent facial expressions
- Hollowing features.
An anti aging product may be a day cream, night cream, or a powerful serum – all packed with active ingredients such as Vitamin C, Retinol, Vitamin E, peptides, hyaluronic acid, ceramides that are the real deal when it comes to combating dry skin, loss of firmness, fine lines, and even that uneven skin tone.
Here are the perks of a powerful anti ageing cream for face and neck:
- Reclaims firmness and elasticity
- Helps correct wrinkles and fine Lines
- Unleashes a radiant, glowing complexion
- Boosts the performance of skincare products
- Nourishes and hydrate
- Combats discoloration and hyperpigmentation
So, as years pass by, using an anti-aging moisturiser with an effective formula that works at cellular level becomes an absolute must!
Do Anti Aging Cream Work?
Yes! Remember that patience and consistency are key in your skincare routine.
You know what dermatologists say?
Be cautious about products that make wild claims that seem too good to be true.
The real effects of a robust skincare product takes its effect over time. It takes about 4-8 weeks of regular use to start seeing some measurable changes in your skin.
Why?
Because your skin needs a full cycle to produce fresh, new skin cells, and that’s when the real transformation begins!
Collagen — The Molecule Of Youth
Did you know that Collagen Type I is the key player when it comes to the collagen in your skin? It makes up a whopping 80% to 90% of the collagen found in your skin.
Interesting, right? But there is more that you need to know!
Let’s talk about an amazing molecule we all know and love—collagen! This anti-aging molecule is produced by special cells called fibroblasts. These mesenchymal cells are found mainly in the dermis, the deeper layer of your skin.
Fibroblasts are not only super important at making collagen; they also produce something called elastin protein. Elastin is responsible for giving your skin the power to stretch and bounce back to its original shape.
Now, here’s the thing: as you age, your ability to naturally produce collagen starts to slow down by about 1.0% to 1.5%.
Doesn’t seem like much, right? But over time, it adds up.
And here’s the catch: this decline in collagen production is one of the main reasons why those fine lines and deeper wrinkles start to make their grand appearance.
Here is why we at Harley Street Formulations UK are obsessed with Vitamin A derived Retinol!
What Is Retinol?
There are all kinds of Vitamin A stuff that do amazing things for our skin, like retinoids, retinol, retinaldehyde, and Retin-A.
Today, this ingredient is regarded as the gold standard when it comes to banishing the signs of skin aging.
Back in the 1970s, Retinol got the thumbs up for helping people with acne.
It is really interesting how it makes your skin cells renew faster and stops those annoying clogs in your pores, so you get fewer breakouts and your other skincare products work better too.
Plus, it gives your skin a nice little boost you need at DNA level.
STIMULATE RE (RETINOL+)
By Harley Street Formulations
Introducing the clinically crafted Stimulate RE Retinol +! This product is truly one-of-a-kind, combining the goodness of an anti-aging serum and a moisturising cream all in one simple step.
Wave goodbye to wrinkles, fine lines, and undesirable hyperpigmentation as you welcome this very useful anti-aging night moisturiser into your life.
It is simply adored by men and women in their 20s, 30s, 40s and even 50s!
Why?
You won’t believe the perks it delivers to your skin; it becomes firmer and incredibly hydrated.
The best part? You can use it every day, no matter your skin type! Yes, even if you have sensitive skin, this gentle yet potent formula is for you too.
What Makes This Anti Aging Cream To Stand Out?
Formulated with retinol which is one of the most potent non-prescription retinoids out there, and trust us, it has got some incredible benefits for your skin.
Now, it might not be as strong as retinoic acid, but that doesn’t mean it is any less effective.
So when you apply retinol to your skin, it gradually turns into retinoic acid. Retinoic acid has some true transformative powers for your skin especially in the deeper layers. It helps to reduce irritation, leaving you with a smooth and glowing complexion.
Next up is 1.0% retinyl palmitate. This form of Vitamin A is the gentlest of the bunch. It takes a bit longer to transform into retinoic acid, but you know what that means?
You got it right, they are even less likely to cause any irritation on your skin.
Dr. Haq’s Harley Street Formulations called Stimulate RE. It is packed with microencapsulated retinol, and guys, it is a life saver for your skin no matter what your age is.
Microencapsulated retinol stays super stable, which means it stays powerful and effective for a long time. No more worrying about it losing its magic over time!
A unique mix of free and encapsulated retinol brings you all the benefits of vitamin A without any irritating side effects like burning or the dreaded “retinol face.”
And that’s not all – Hyaluronic acid swoops in to give your skin a burst of intense hydration, keeping it plump and fresh.
Adding to the magic is Safflower Seed Oil, nourishing and moisturizing your skin, leaving it soft and supple.
Moreover, pure Vitamin E jumps in as a powerful antioxidant, protecting your skin from harmful UVB rays and minimising common retinol side effects like dryness, redness, stinging, and flaking.
A fresh and clarified complexion is the new trend my friend!
Is It Also the Best Anti Aging Night Cream?
In a word? Yes!
Using a night cream can do wonders for your skin as it allows the product to work its magic while you rest, leaving you with a refreshed and rejuvenated look in the morning.
Using a night cream can do wonders for your skin as it allows the product to work its magic while you rest, leaving you with a refreshed and rejuvenated look in the morning.
Your skin’s regeneration process is most active during the late hours, particularly between 11 pm and 4 am.
So, if you’re trying to decide between a day or night anti-ageing cream, Dr Haq at Harley Street Formulations definitely recommends going for the Stimulate RE (dual retinoid) night cream!
How To Use Stimulate RE Anti Aging Cream?
Here is how to make the most of your anti-aging cream?
No worries, it’s a breeze! Just follow these super simple steps:
- It’s super easy to add Stimulate RE retinol + into your daily routine, especially at night – whatever works best for you. Just remember, for that extra protection, apply some SPF in the morning before using this product.
- Now, to get that smooth and even coverage: put a small dot of the formula on your forehead, right cheek, left cheek, nose, chin, and neck.
However, be careful around your eyes and lips, those areas are a bit sensitive, so avoid applying it there to keep things comfortable.
- If you want to target a specific area, like your T-zone, feel free to give it a bit more attention.
- In case you have sensitive skin or want to take things slow with retinol, experts at Harley Street Formulations advise you to start by using it just twice a week. Then, you may increase it to every other night.
Watch Out For These Don’ts!
If your skin is irritated or has any cuts, it’s best not to use this product as it might cause some discomfort. Also, if you’re already using other products with retinol, AHA/BHA, or vitamin C, try not to use them at the same time as our product to avoid any unexpected reactions.
And last but surely not the least, if you notice any severe irritation during the first 2-3 weeks of using the product or even after that, it’s best to stop using it and chat with your doctor.
That’s it! You’re all set to experience the incredible benefits of your anti-aging cream.
Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we want to make sure you have the best experience possible.
When To Start Using Anti Aging Cream?
So, should you have an anti-aging routine in your 20s?
Absolutely!
People, experts at Harley Street Formulations cannot stress enough on the idea of starting your anti ageing skincare as soon as you reach your 20s.
After all, it’s better to prevent wrinkles from showing up between the ages of 20 and 25 rather than having to cover them up or even treat them later. No?
Never Let Your Skin Go Thirsty!
Once you hit 25, one of the key aspects is hydration. It is super important to intensely moisturise your skin to restore vitality and glow while also safeguarding it from external aggressors like pollution and the sun.
Befriends With Low Strength Retinol
You might think that retinol is only meant for wrinkles, right? It’s a popular topic on the internet, and you may have come across the idea of trying it out for yourself, especially if you’ve been influenced by your Instagram feed. Many products containing retinol boast about their ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
This is when Stimulate RE + dual retinol cream comes in!
Dr. Ahmed Haq, a renowned skincare expert, and the brain behind dual retinol cream has revealed the perks of using retinol in your 20s.
Adding retinol in your PM routine can truly be a game-changer when it comes to dealing with acne. You know those annoying tiny comedonal acne bumps that just refuse to go away? Well, Harley Street Formulations exclusively crafted Stimulate RE has got your back!
And the best part? It not only fights acne but also gives your complexion a radiant boost. I mean, who doesn’t want to glow like a ray of sunshine?
But you need collagen replenishment in your twenties too! Why?
According to the National Library of Medicine, collagen production declines as you age, starting in your late teens or early 20s. It decreases at a rate of about 1% per year.
Human bodies balance the buildup and breakdown of collagen, which is crucial for tissue regeneration.
Although it is impossible to stop this natural decline, you can support collagen production by maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and practising self-care.
Here comes the skin super hero Retinol!
Another most important way to stimulate collagen production is shaking hands with Vitamin A derived retinol which means your skin will appear plumper and more youthful.
With the lightweight and super convenient Stimulate RE cream on your side, your skin imperfections are less noticeable, giving you a smoother and more refined complexion.
Ready For Those Compliments?
Now it’s time to put these handy tips on anti aging skincare to good use and witness the gradual but youthful results for yourself!
We are not kidding, it’s going to be worth it.
No, you don’t need to dive headfirst into complicated routines; even starting with a good vitamin C serum, a retinol based anti aging cream and sun protection will do a great service to your skin.
Such a type of ‘skinvestment’ shows that you truly care about your skin’s health, and you do value yourself.
The reward: Delayed appearance of ageing signs as well as the need of getting pocket hurting skin treatments.
Finally, your skin will begin to glow with a youthful glow, and you won’t be able to resist an uncanny smile when people can’t believe your age.
