Each age has its needs and the skin is not one that precisely escapes the passage of time. For this reason, nothing better than being advised by professionals such as Eduardo Senante, owner of the Senante Pharmacy and expert in dermocosmetics, who has given us three ideas of creams for mature skin, beyond 50 that you will surely adore thanks to its excellent formulation and sensation on the skin.
We start with a night cream from the British brand Medik8 which has become one of the most preferred cosmetic brands by celebrities (and ours too).
Eduardo confesses that in a very short time it has become one of his favorite anti-aging creams in the pharmacy, especially since its main ingredient is Retinol, an anti-aging active ingredient considered to be the gold standard of aging, and that together with antioxidant protection (preferably Vitamin C) and Sun Protection constitute the Cosmetic Triad on which any self-respecting anti-aging facial routine should be based.
It is formulated with a 0.2% Retinol, the star asset when it comes to fighting existing wrinkles and preventing the appearance of new wrinkles. In this cream, Retinol is encapsulated to help improve its tolerance.
This ingredient derived from vitamin A will help us stimulate the synthesis of collagen and also accelerates the renewal of the skin, leaving it more uniform and luminous. Come on, as Senante always says, “almost almost the Miracle of Lourdes” for our skin.
Also complete your formula with two powerful antioxidants that will help us fight against free radicals (those responsible for oxidation and the consequent cellular ageing) such as Vitamin E and Dragon Fruit Extract. Its price on the official Medik8 website is 60 euros, the same price as in the Senante Pharmacy.
We continue with the XPERT Collageneur from Singuladerm Laboratories (one of the world’s largest manufacturers of cosmetic peptides globally and one) is another one of her favorite anti-aging creams from the drugstore. Of course, in this brand we find jewels like its sunscreen.
This formulated with growth factors of high regenerative power along with biomimetic peptides (without a doubt the most fashionable firming and anti-sagging cosmetic active ingredient and which is gaining more and more scientific evidence) that will help us fight against expression wrinkles by exerting a botox-like.
It is loved by those skins that seek to fight against sagging skin as well as improve and prevent expression wrinkles. It has a rich, melt-in texture that leaves skin feeling juicy but not heavy and also works great as a makeup base. Its price is 42.65 euros.
And thirdly, Eduardo Senante recommends the Rilastil Progression Rich Anti-Wrinkle Facial Cream Formulated to combat the effects of perimenopause and menopause on the skin, it is one of the latest launches in the cosmetics market from the pharmacy that is giving the most buzz and is having the most success among consumers.
It is formulated with ingredients of recognized scientific efficacy such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides and niacinamide. The former is going to increase our skin’s hydration levels, while the ceramides (which are like our skin’s cement) replenish moisture in our skin and soothe irritation. Having adequate levels of ceramides is essential for our skin to look healthy, juicy and protected at the same time. I have always said that ceramides are that underrated superhero in the world of skin care. So the high concentration of ceramides in this cream gives us, in his opinion, an unbeatable plus to restore and balance our skin barrier while helping us to retain moisture and its juiciness.
and complete the formula niacinamide (Another of the most fashionable cosmetic ingredients and that has been the most searched cosmetic asset on Google throughout the past year 202 and continues to be so far in 2023). It is a cosmetic asset that inhibits the formation of spots and promotes protein synthesis, improving the luminosity and appearance of our skin, among many other benefits.
Conclusion, hydrated and juicy skin is achieved, with a glow (not greasy) and can be used in both our day and night routine. Its price is 21.35 euros.
