After 45 years, the body experiences hormonal changes, which primarily affect the skin of the face, décolleté and hands. Due to a decrease in the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, the regeneration processes of the skin slow down, sagging appears, not only expression wrinkles appear, but they also become noticeable on the cheeks and neck.
The subcutaneous fat layer becomes thinner, which leads to dryness, the appearance of age spots, and changes in skin tone.
There are three types of aging after 30 years: fine-wrinkled, deformation and mixed. The prerequisites for the finely wrinkled type are congenital dryness or problematic skin. With deformation, the shape of the face noticeably changes: the cheeks and chin sag, folds appear under the eyes. Characteristic for oily facial skin. Mixed combines these two types.
The above makes it clear what type of aging you have, and based on this you can select the appropriate care products, among which there are a number of creams aimed at eliminating problems 45+.
Cream Expert Black Pearl
It is included in the rating of the best Russian creams and rightfully occupies a leading position in it. Cream Expert Black Pearl, which contains hyaluronic acid, which is a salvation for skin susceptible to age-related changes, helps moisturize the epidermis at deep levels and renew cells.
Thanks to the oils included in the composition, the skin is saturated with beneficial elements. In addition, the cream is a real salvation for skin exposed to ultraviolet rays.
For skin type
Often, even inexpensive drugs have a remarkable effect, being in no way inferior in effectiveness to expensive brand names. This happens for a simple reason - the product was chosen according to the type of dermis. In order to avoid mistakes and apply the most suitable cream against age-related changes, you should definitely familiarize yourself with the features that the most popular drugs have.
It is important to remember that effective products can be purchased even at the pharmacy. We should not forget that pharmaceutical drugs must be selected based on simple rules. A preliminary study of the characteristics of the product will allow you not to make a mistake and use it with the greatest benefit for the skin of the face.
A prerequisite is preliminary testing of the drug. It's easy to do:
- Apply a few drops of cream to clean skin of the elbow or wrist (these areas of the dermis are highly sensitive).
- Rub the composition with light movements into the skin.
- Wait 4–7 hours.
Check the condition of the dermis - if no warning signs appear, among which the most common are burning, severe rash, irritation, you can begin facial care.
For normal
For those with a normal dermis type, choosing the best creams for daily care will not be difficult. Many brands offer good products that quickly stop aging and restore turgor and elasticity to the skin.
Vishy Liftactive has excellent qualities. In addition to the lifting effect, the product smoothes out most wrinkles, regardless of their number and depth. I am also pleased with the duration of the effect - repeated flabbiness and sagging do not bother me for many months.
The peculiarity of the cream is the presence of rhamnose in the composition. This active ingredient enriches the dermis with moisture and beneficial elements and has a smoothing effect. Shea butter is also not inferior in effectiveness - it promotes the production of collagen and the resumption of metabolic processes.

- saturates the skin with moisture;
- removes toxins;
- normalizes collagen production due to the amino peptides included in the cream;
- improves skin blood circulation;
- smoothes even deep wrinkles;
- renews epidermal cells.
The cream does not clog into pores and has a weightless texture. Among the disadvantages is the lack of UV filters. Also, some women noticed that after the first use, redness appeared on the skin.
Price – 1200 rub.

Choosing a cream – what do cosmetologists advise?
A woman in adulthood needs to devote more time to caring for her skin. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a cream for moisturizing and lifting the face after 45 years, based on the advice of cosmetologists and dermatologists. Give preference to products that have the following properties:
- improving not only the outer layer of the skin, but also its structure;
- elimination of wrinkles;
- fight against age spots;
- eliminating dry skin;
- increased tone, correction of facial contours;
- protection from ultraviolet radiation, hot and cold air;
- preventing the appearance of new wrinkles;
- intensive hydration and nutrition.
Pharmacies and cosmetics stores offer a wide range of products with such properties. They all differ in composition, principle of action and price. Choose proven products that have proven themselves and have a lifting effect.
Compound
Anti-aging products must contain components that can affect the regeneration of aging skin. After 45, a woman needs to actively moisturize and nourish her face and neck. The following substances must be present in creams:
- Retinoids. Vitamin A derivatives that promote skin regeneration, eliminate wrinkles and pigmentation. After regular use of a cream with this component, the face becomes more toned.
- Proteins. This group contains substances responsible for lifting. Preserves and restores skin structure. When choosing a product, pay attention to creams with amino acids and collagen derivatives.
- Peptides. Amino acids that penetrate the lower layers of the dermis and stimulate the production of collagen. The action of this substance can extend the life of skin cells by 40%. Due to active exposure, side effects are possible.
Attention! Do not purchase creams with fruit acids, especially if their concentration exceeds 10%. These substances can cause burns.
Also, when studying the composition, you should take into account the advice of cosmetologists, who recommend choosing cosmetics for your skin type. If you have oily or combination skin, pay attention to creams with zinc and calcium, natural extracts of chamomile, calendula, string, and aloe. If your skin is sensitive and prone to rashes, purchase a product with panthenol.
Price
Prices for the best creams after 45 years vary greatly. The most expensive product is not necessarily the most effective. The cost is often influenced by the brand and country of production.
In pharmacies and cosmetics stores you will find creams at the following prices:
- premium class products – from 2000 rubles;
- creams with an average price - from 500 to 2000 rubles;
- budget cosmetics – up to 500 rubles.
Some care products reach 15,000 rubles, but they are not on sale. Therefore, when buying expensive cosmetics, contact trusted suppliers and sellers. The cheapest products against age-related changes are pharmaceutical ointments.
Brand
To choose a good and safe cream, you need to pay attention to the brand of the product. There are a number of manufacturers that specialize in anti-aging cosmetics:
- luxury cosmetics: Clarins, Estee, Dior, Lancome, Missha, Magigrey;
- mass market cosmetics: “Garnier”, “Loreal”, “Avon”, “Oriflame”, “Neutrogina”;

- pharmaceutical products: “Vishy”, “Avene”, “Plazan”, “Kora”.
Please note that not every cream, even from expensive brands, will protect your skin. Pharmacy line drugs are considered the most effective. They contain retinoids, peptides and substances that protect against ultraviolet rays.

How to choose
Selecting a cream for aging skin is a very complex and serious process. In addition to selecting according to your skin type, you also need to take into account your age category and individual characteristics. To choose the right cream, you must follow the following recommendations:
- Before purchasing any cream, you need to check for allergic reactions. Even if the product does not contain common allergens, individual intolerance is possible. This is rare, but possible.
- You need to carefully study the composition. It must contain the above components.
- Also, the composition should not contain harmful components: dyes, fragrances, petroleum products, etc.
- The cream should be chosen according to the season. For example, for the summer - a cream with a light texture and SPF for every day, and for the winter - a denser and oilier one, so that it can completely nourish the dermis.
- It is better to buy cream in expensive cosmetic stores, as they are responsible for the quality of the product and can show the license.
- Be sure to pay attention to the date of manufacture. You cannot use an expired product.
- Choose a product strictly according to your age and derma type.
Sun exposure to the skin increases the appearance of wrinkles and provokes the appearance of age spots, especially in those with fair skin. Therefore, regardless of the season, you need to choose day creams with SPF protection.

The composition of the cream is hypoallergenic, which makes it possible for women with hypersensitive skin to use it.
Among the disadvantages is the high price for a small volume.
Cost – 2100 rub.

Features of the composition of the cream after 50 years
You should not select products based on the number in the passport, only on the condition of your skin or on a specific problem. All the same components of the composition after 40 are also relevant for ages 50+. The difference is that after 50, the skin is no longer as responsive as it was 10 years ago, and it takes longer to achieve results. There are a couple more components that are welcome in the composition:
- Phytoestrogens are extractive substances from plants that are similar in structure to estrogen (however, they are not estrogen and do not disrupt natural hormonal levels). There are many of them in clover, hops, and red grapes. Despite their other name, “phytohormones,” they are not hormones. They have a beneficial effect on the skin by stimulating estrogen receptors. The synthesis of collagen and elastin is activated, elasticity increases and wrinkles are smoothed out. Products with phytoestrogens should not be used if the hormonal background is still normal (up to 45 years).
- Probiotics are not live bacteria, which are familiar to us as components of drugs of the same name for dysbiosis. Fragments of microorganisms or their enzymes are added to the composition to increase the protective properties of the skin. The main task is to support the local immunity of the skin, which begins to suffer with age. Creams with probiotics should not be combined with other products due to the possible interaction of active components.

Which companies' creams are recognized as the best?
Any more or less well-known brand develops a special line of anti-wrinkle products for women of different ages. But among the large number of manufacturing companies, it is worth highlighting several leading companies whose creams are the most popular and of the highest quality. The effectiveness of the products of the brands in question depends on the company’s experience, various studies and careful selection of all components of the drugs.

Application rules
In the use of anti-aging creams, much depends on how correctly the woman carries out her daily procedures. A great way to increase the effectiveness of the product is to pre-steam the dermis. Enlarged pores will allow the active components to penetrate to greater depths and affect age-related changes from the inside. For steaming, you can use a herbal decoction (brew 15 g of chamomile with 180 ml of water). Soak a napkin with warm liquid and place it on your face for a few minutes.
If there is no time for a long steaming procedure, it is recommended to use tonics or lotions that will gently cleanse the dermis. Do not use aggressive drugs - they can cause irritation.
Apply the cream in a thin layer and be sure to perform a light massage. Do not use force. Wait a few minutes until the drug is absorbed. If necessary, if the composition is too greasy, remove the remaining product with a napkin.
Clinique. Anti-aging cream Smart Clinical Multi-Dimensional Age Transformer Resculpt
The Clinic's products are valued all over the world. This is especially true for the rejuvenating series. The main advantage is the absence of allergic and chemical components, which makes it possible to use creams of this brand for hypersensitive skin.
It is worth noting that the Clinic focused on night care, since all regeneration processes occur precisely at this time. The cream contains the protein sirtuin, which restores skin cells from the inside, renews them and prolongs life. The result becomes visible after 10 days of use.
The cream gives the skin elasticity, tightens it, reduces the number of wrinkles, restores radiance and a youthful appearance.

Required components of the composition
When choosing a suitable cream for aging skin, you must pay attention to the composition. What should be included:
- Peptides. They are aimed at enhancing the regeneration of new cells, and the amino acids in their composition help other components work more efficiently. In addition, peptides help increase blood supply to tissues and are necessary for the protective function of the epidermis.
- Retinoids. These are derivatives of vitamin A. They are responsible for moisturizing and nourishing dermal cells. They also promote the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid, which directly affects the condition of the skin.
- Liposomes. They act as a protective film for aging skin, thereby retaining moisture in the cells and helping to smooth out wrinkles.
- Proteins. Proteins of natural origin are necessary for moisturizing the skin, and their amino acids are involved in many chemical reactions, acting as conductors.
- Fruit acids. They do a great job of combating skin pigmentation, slightly lightening its tone. Acids also help exfoliate the stratum corneum, which is important for cell renewal.
In addition, cosmetics for skin after 45 years may contain various essential oils, plant extracts and other organic components. However, they are effective only in combination with high-quality synthetic ingredients.
Some chemical components are difficult to produce. This is why creams with low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and animal collagen are expensive.
