In women by the age of thirty, the activity of metabolic processes in the skin decreases, the production of elastin and collagen, proteins that maintain the tone, firmness and elasticity of the skin, slows down. The skin becomes drier, loses its freshness, and becomes covered with fine wrinkles. How to choose the right skin care product to eliminate defects or prevent their occurrence? We'll try to help. We analyzed reviews from women and cosmetologists and compiled a rating of face creams after 30, which will help you make your choice.

All face creams can be divided into:

• medicinal (cosmeceuticals);
• professional (salon);
• elite (luxury cosmetics);
• budgetary (products of the “middle-market” and “mass-market” classes).

When compiling a rating of the best creams, we took this classification as a basis, excluding professional products due to their lack of commercial availability. These products can only be purchased by order at a cosmetology salon, and they should be used only on the recommendation of a cosmetologist, otherwise addiction and other serious skin problems may occur.

Therapeutic ingredients for oily skin - the main selection criterion

The composition of the cream directly affects the visual and therapeutic effect produced. Dermis prone to oiliness requires the use of certain components. Their presence indicates whether the emulsion can reduce sebum production, tighten pores, or whether it will be a waste of money.

The composition for oily dermis contains the following components:

• salicylic acid - dries and relieves inflammation, eliminates shine, the downside is skin tightness after using a composition with this component;
• benzoyl peroxide - actively eliminates acne and acne, fights redness and reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands, the active substance may cause initial discomfort in the form of severe itching, but gradually the face gets used to it and the side effect goes away;
• niacinamide is the number one component that promotes healing of inflamed and damaged areas, often used in healing ointments;
• caffeine - makes the skin smooth, pores narrow;
• retinol or vitamin A - enhances nutrition of the epidermis, normalizes cell activity and fights inflammation;
• essential oils (tea tree, citrus, iris, chamomile, calendula, cedar, rosemary) - a plus is the natural nature of the ingredients, which helps dry out inflamed areas, narrow pores, and thanks to their antiseptic properties, they disinfect the outer layers of tissues;
• vitamins and minerals (zinc oxide, magnesium, potassium, sea salt, lactic and fruit acids, vitamins A, B, C, D) - improve nutrition of cell layers, due to which they regenerate and recover faster from inflammation;
• plant extracts - natural medicinal ingredients effectively relieve inflammation, relieve itching, burning, pain and restore the dermis.

The best manufacturers use components that are of both natural and artificial origin. You shouldn't be afraid of this. Thus, they enhance the effect produced, and in tandem have the best effect on the dermis.

Contraindications for use

Any remedy, even the most harmless in appearance, has certain contraindications. Cosmetic creams are no exception.

1. Use only for oily skin. Notes about the type of dermis and age component are made for a reason. When developing the composition, the features of metabolic processes occurring in cells are taken into account. They are different for dry, combination and oily tissue types. Therefore, using a cream that is not your own reduces its effectiveness or even makes it harmful.
2. Storage conditions. Creams must be stored in a certain way so that the ingredients remain effective and do not cause harm to the epidermis. It is not recommended to store the product in the bathroom, as the composition is negatively affected by high humidity, heat and light. The best storage place is the refrigerator. Until the expiration date, the hermetically sealed jar will not come into contact with air, ultraviolet rays and high temperature, maintaining its beneficial properties.
3. Best before date. Expired creams are, at a minimum, useless and, at a maximum, can cause negative consequences for your skin - an allergic reaction, acne and inflammation. Don't fall for store tricks by buying products with expiration dates at a discount. Such compositions contain almost no useful substances, since they decompose over time.
4. Allergic reactions. Any emulsion includes natural and chemical components that can cause allergies. After purchasing a new product, take the time to test it for sensitivity. Apply a little cream to the inner bend of your elbow and leave for 24 hours. If there is no redness or other visible reactions, you can safely use the composition.
5. How to use it correctly. Apply the product only to cleansed face. Violation of this point can lead to rapid clogging of pores and the appearance of inflamed areas. For complex care, first use light, more liquid products such as tonic or serum, and then a dense cream. Apply all compositions along the massage lines of the face. This will protect the delicate epidermis from damage and the appearance of premature wrinkles.

The best luxury face creams after 30 years

Premium cosmetics belong to the highest price segment and include such popular brands as Estee Lauder, Clinique, Clarins, Shiseido, Biotherm, Givenchy, Christian Dior, Gianni Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Valmont.

Advantages

Luxury cosmetics are produced by companies that have their own laboratories and a serious research base. The most modern production technologies are used for production. 70–80% of the cream consists of natural, safe, high-quality plant components in high concentrations. The plant components are obtained by cold pressing, which allows you to fully preserve the beneficial functions of biologically active substances. The creams do not cause allergies, addiction or dependence.

Flaws

The main disadvantage of elite creams is their high price. In addition, the originals are produced in small batches, and in most stores you can purchase products of the named brands, manufactured under license in other countries (usually in Poland). Naturally, this option of funds can no longer be completely classified as premium.

Differences in care depending on the time of year

It is very important to adjust the contents of your cosmetic bag and carefully look through the rows of jars on your dressing table in the off-season. As weather conditions change outside, care products must also change.

Summer

The danger lies in hot sunlight and dry air. The priority is creams with SPF filters and maximum hydration.

Autumn

Mild melancholy and seasonal colds can significantly undermine the body's level of resistance. This means more vitamins to support immunity and vitamin masks for a radiant appearance.

Winter

Temperature changes and piercing winds are not the best conditions for the skin. Requires maximum protection and nutrition. The selection of products should only take into account the skin type.

Spring

Nature is blooming, but there is a total lack of vitamins in the body. It is recommended to replenish the deficiency in a comprehensive manner, by adjusting nutrition and increasing the intensity of care procedures. An excellent period for strengthening and cleansing.

Men's anti-aging facial care products

All categories of citizens, including men, are susceptible to aging of the epidermis. For those who want to maintain youth for as long as possible, it is also necessary to take care of anti-aging facial care.

Men's skin is much denser than women's, which means that it is more difficult for nutrients to penetrate the epidermis. Due to this factor, creams for men differ in their consistency and have a denser texture.

Daily Revitalizing Anti-Wrinkle Cream for Men

The cosmetic product belongs to professional facial care products. The cream is rich in vitamins and valuable components that rejuvenate the epidermis, prevent the appearance of new wrinkles, and prevent dehydration and aging of the skin.

Daily Revitalizing Anti-Wrinkle Cream is best used twice a day, that is, morning and evening.

Pro-Retinol kit fills fine wrinkles, improves tone, and thanks to the ADC complex, the protective properties of the skin are enhanced.

The product tightens aging skin, reduces the first wrinkles, filling them from the inside, and starts the process of dermal regeneration. The cream contains silicon, due to which the skin becomes denser and the epidermis is strengthened.

The best budget face creams after 30 years

Creams in the mid-price segment include products from the brands Loreal, Bourjois, Revlon, Lumene.

And the most affordable mass-market cosmetics are represented by Nivea, Garnier, Eveline, as well as all products of Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian companies (Black Pearl, One Hundred Beauty Recipes, Clean Line), and network marketing.

Advantages

The main advantage of budget creams is accessibility. Cosmetics are inexpensive and are sold in all cosmetic stores, departments, and markets. When producing it, manufacturers pay special attention to ease of use - the creams are easy to apply to the skin, contain pleasant fragrances, and are quickly absorbed.

Flaws

Budget creams contain petroleum products, synthetic preservatives, parabens, and benzoates. Such a heavy composition often provokes allergies, irritation and swelling of the skin, clogged pores, the formation of comedones, and the appearance of pigmentation, especially in people with sensitive skin. The packaging of creams, as a rule, does not contain the full composition, and only the active ingredients are indicated.

Natural extracts are either absent or contained in small quantities (about 30%). However, they are obtained by hot pressing, and the biologically active components lose most of their beneficial functions when exposed to high temperatures. High-quality raw materials are not always used to obtain useful components.

The results of using creams are noticeable only with regular use. However, if you use cosmetics for more than six months, addiction may develop.

Reviews

Typically, customers of the offered products notice the following:

• Elena, 32 years old, Saratov: “They gave me the cream. Of course, I was very pleased: it suited my skin type perfectly (I have very oily skin on my cheeks and combination skin in the T-zone), although I doubted for a long time whether to use it or not. I tried it. I was happy. I ran out of it quickly, so I was going to buy another jar. And then I saw the price tag. A curtain".
• Olga, 39 years old, Moscow: “Although the Mizon cream has an unusual consistency, this does not affect the application in any way. Throughout its use, it perfectly matted the skin and nourished it, but in winter the nutrients it contains are still not enough. I recommend pairing it with something else, more intense. And the price... For such an effect, the price is completely justified.”

Evelyn cosmetics also received quite good reviews. Moreover, this brand can boast not only of quality, but also of a pleasant pricing policy.

Tips for choosing a cream for oily skin

It is important to correctly determine your skin type. To do this you will need to visit a cosmetologist. Some women are sure that they have an oily epidermis, but according to research results it may turn out that their type is combination. And the use of even the best product will worsen the condition of the face.

Be sure to study the product packaging. The composition of the product will indicate the presence of the correct components and the absence of individual allergens. In addition, there may be certain features of emulsion application that are important to know for effective use.

What to pay attention to is the seasonality and purpose of the product. The “winter” version will prevent frostbite and cracking of the epithelium, and the summer version will protect against sunburn. Use the light textured day cream as a makeup base, and the thick, nighttime emulsion as a soothing sleep cream.

Thanks to the Internet, you can study customer reviews in advance about the products you are interested in to avoid mistakes when choosing. Of course, the result of application will always be individual and different from other people. But a lot of negative reviews will help you avoid a bad purchase. And useful recommendations from cosmetologists and our detailed review will allow you to choose the right type of product.

conclusions

The quality and effectiveness of a cream of any category will be revealed by its composition. The best face creams after 30 should contain the following active ingredients:

• AHA acids (alpha hydroxy acids) – promote exfoliation of the upper keratinized cells of the epidermis, stimulate cellular renewal processes;
• ceramides, panthenol - accelerate tissue regeneration processes, improve the appearance of the skin;
• vitamins A, E, C and enzymes (including coenzyme Q10) - antioxidants that protect cells from the negative effects of free radicals and slow down the aging process;
• hyaluronic acid – retains moisture in the upper layers of the epidermis;
• collagen and elastin – maintain the elasticity of the skin;
• solar filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, mexoril, tinosorb, aobenzone) – provide protection from ultraviolet rays;
• retinol and its derivatives (tretionine, retinaldehyde, retyl palmitate) - help fight the first wrinkles.

It is impossible to definitively determine which face cream is better. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the skin and the correct selection of products. When choosing the best face cream after 30, you need to remember several important points.

• Face cream after 30 years should be selected according to skin type (generally divided into oily, combination, normal and dry) and taking into account its characteristics (sensitivity, tendency to allergies, presence of rosacea).
• Before choosing, we need to decide what action we want to achieve - hydration, nutrition, smoothing out facial wrinkles, improving complexion.
• If young girls can limit themselves to only daytime skin care, then after 30 years there is a need to use night cream. It is at night that the skin will absorb beneficial compounds as much as possible and recover. Typically, cosmetologists recommend comprehensive care with products for day and night use.
• Day cream should contain a sun protection factor, but we don’t need SPF in night cream. However, the night cream should be more saturated in density and concentration of beneficial compounds.
• It is advisable to use creams with retinoids to combat the first wrinkles. For skin aged 30–35 years, it is enough to use products with retinoids twice a week at night. But it’s too early to use these products for basic daily care.

Good face creams, thanks to a carefully selected composition, act comprehensively and solve a wide variety of problems: moisturize, nourish, restore turgor, maintain firmness and elasticity, improve complexion, even out the relief, and protect the skin from negative external influences. However, we advise you to pay attention first of all to intensive nutrition and hydration. After all, a deficiency of useful components and moisture is one of the main reasons for the appearance of the first wrinkles.
