Reviews of lifting face cream - which is the most effective?

Tips for choosing the right product

The quality and effectiveness of a cream with a lifting effect is determined by several parameters:

Compound.

This is a key point when choosing a skincare product. The cream must contain active ingredients that provide the skin with a tightening and wrinkle-smoothing effect. First of all, it is hyaluronic acid - a substance that can attract and retain water in the epidermis. Due to this, dryness and dehydration go away, the epidermis becomes smooth and elastic. This also includes marine collagen, proxylane, peptides and polymers. In addition to the active ingredients, there must be a complex of vitamins and oils to moisturize and soften the skin.

Action.

Lifting cream can have a care or cumulative effect. Skin care products moisturize and tighten the skin well. They cost less, but have a temporary effect. Accumulative creams belong to the professional line. They affect the deep layers of the epidermis, stimulate the production of elastin and collagen. Their effect is noticeable after one to two months of regular care.

Age.

Be sure to pay attention to the age range indicated on the packaging. As a rule, a cream with a lifting effect will be appropriate after 35 years. But there are exceptions for younger skin.

What types of products are there?

There are only two main types of products, and they differ in application time:

Based on the mechanism of action, creams are:

1. Nutritious. The name speaks for itself. Supplies essential nutritional components to the skin. Filled with essential oils, vitamins, fats, plant extracts, minerals, collagen. Age negatively affects the condition of the epidermis. He has to be helped with nutritional products with antibacterial elements and antioxidants to relieve irritation.
2. Moisturizing. A distinctive feature is its light consistency. They are produced on the basis of oils, plant extracts, and water emulsion. They allow you to eliminate problem areas for those who do not tolerate frost, wind, or scorching sun. Medicinal plants and increased humidity will help the epidermis restore beauty and health, remove inflammation and peeling.
3. Fortified. Emulsion based. The consistency is light. Recommended for use by young people and women with oily skin.
4. Rejuvenating. They are in high demand among people who have crossed the forty-year mark. Flabbiness and fine wrinkles go away, elasticity improves. Main components: placenta, algae extracts, hormones, phytohormones.
5. Restorative. The contents resemble nutritional products, only the recovery is more intense. Ideal for fading and mature dermis. Elasticity increases, natural qualities are restored, and complexion improves.
6. Softening. Their main function is protective. Allows you to prevent negative natural phenomena from destroying the beauty and youth of the dermis. Selected according to the season. Made from wax, oil, plant extracts. Suitable for dry and combination skin. You must try not to clog your pores.
7. Serums. Many call them conductors of useful components. Can be used alone or in combination with other cosmetics. They help cells open up, clearing the way for deep movement. They have excellent absorbency.
8. Tonal. The main elements are powder and makeup. The presence of dyes allows you to eliminate imperfections in the epidermis.
9. Mattifying. Apply a thin layer, creating a protective film. Reduce shine and resist the negative effects of natural factors.
10. Medicinal. They fight problems and diseases of the dermis. We are talking about acne, varicose veins, sprains, bruises, dermatitis and so on.
11. Anti-aging. They allow you to moisturize the dermis and remove flaking, protect against free radicals.
12. Self-tanning. A review of reviews shows that only such a composition can make her “tanned.” It promotes the production of melanin.
13. Sun protection. The main benefit is protection from ultraviolet radiation due to the presence of sun protection factor.
14. Children's. They constantly take care of the baby's skin, prevent irritation, eliminate rashes, soothe and soften. Used for diapers.
15. Anti-cellulite. They cannot completely eliminate cellulite, but they can reduce its appearance. Used along with diet and proper nutrition.

Cosmetics for face lift

There are a lot of cosmetics for face lifting - separately for eyes, lips, facial contour, modeling and with a whitening effect, for different skin types and different ages. This review includes the most popular brands. The experience of using some turned out to be successful, while others did not live up to expectations. But one way or another, you need to try the cream - this is the only way to understand whether your skin will “accept” it or not.

Pomegranate eye contour lifting cream from WELEDA – Granatapfel Aktive Regeneration Straffende Augenpflege

The composition is natural, almost entirely from plant components:

• Sesame oil;
• alcohol (ethyl ethanol, or food alcohol, is used as a solvent);
• jojoba oil;
• glyceryl stearate;
• macadamia oil;
• Shea Butter;
• wheat germ oil;
• pomegranate oil;
• olive oil.

The cream is suitable for normal and combination skin, but if there is a tendency to dryness, it can dry out - as women believe, this is due to the alcohol content. The cream is used sparingly; a 10 ml package lasts for 8–10 weeks. The lifting effect provides good hydration of the skin around the eyes. Even after just one application, it looks smoother and lighter.

Price: from 1106 rub.

Pomegranate lifting cream is suitable for normal and combination skin

Care serum Clean line Impulse of youth Express lifting for face, neck and décolleté 45+

Contains:

• propylene glycol (prevents moisture evaporation);
• cyclopentasiloxane (softens the skin);
• aloe leaf juice;
• iris extract;
• witch hazel extract;
• ginseng root extract.

The serum is indicated for use by women with mature skin. It is packaged in a convenient bottle with a dispenser, it is easy to squeeze out, and thanks to its fluid texture, it is also easy to distribute. The feeling of moisturized and nourished skin is noticeable immediately after application. It should be used in combination with cream - twice a day. Suitable for any skin type.

Price: from 156 rub.

Clean line care serum suitable for any age

Lifting anti-wrinkle cream Svoboda Diamond for mixed and normal skin

Compound:

• PEG-4 polyglyceryl-2 stearate (potential allergen, may cause skin irritation);
• glycerol;
• isopropyl palmitate;
• cetearyl isononanoate;
• cyclomethicone (silicone);
• triceteareth-4 phosphate (toxic, may cause skin irritation);
• cetyl alcohol;
• avocado oil;
• cetyl stearyl alcohol;
• plankton extract;
• hydrolyzed silk protein;
• UV filter.

Due to the synthetic components contained in the cream, it may not be safe for sensitive skin. For people with a tendency to allergies, a sensitivity test is required: a little cream on your hand and evaluate the reaction. If the cream is suitable and does not cause irritation, then with a high degree of probability it will work and will please you with a good moisturizing effect (the feeling lasts up to 6 hours). The skin after it is soft and smooth. You can apply the cream in the morning and evening. There are no age restrictions, but judging by the experience of women, it will be really useful for women under 45, since it still does not have a strong lifting effect, does not smooth out wrinkles and does not tighten the facial contour.

Price: from 660 rub.

Face cream Delicate Linen Lifting for mature skin based on linseed oil

Cream with a natural composition, mainly of plant origin. What components does this include:

• linseed oil;
• walnut oil;
• Cedar oil;
• Amaranth oil;
• sea ​​buckthorn extract;
• green tea extract.

The environmentally friendly composition, unfortunately, does not benefit the skin here. The manufacturer promises hydration and a lifting effect, but the improvements after the cream are very insignificant. The sensations from using the product for women are also not the best. The sharp herbal aroma and the oily film on the face after absorption are disturbing. The skin seems smoother to the touch than without the cream, but its appearance does not improve in any way. If you are worried about dryness, flaking, wrinkles, unhealthy complexion - all these problems will remain with you. A minimum of hydration is all that a cream with an exclusively natural composition can provide. For young skin such care will be enough, for mature or problematic skin it will not. This cream will not help restore skin health.

Price: from 299 rub.

Face cream Delicate Linen Lifting for mature skin has a completely natural composition

Facial serum Welss WS 1002 with collagen

The serum, as the manufacturer promises, is needed to moisturize and nourish normal and restore problematic (mature, dry) skin.

Contains:

• collagen;
• aloe vera;
• sunflower oil;
• tocopheryl acetate;
• glycerol;
• soy;
• ascorbic acid.

The serum comes in a glass bottle with a lid and includes a pipette. The packaging is convenient, due to this the consumption is economical. One drop of serum is enough for one use. The consistency of the product resembles oil, but the drop is dense and does not spread, and when distributed, no greasy marks remain on the skin. You can use the serum in its pure form if your skin is normal, combination or oily, or under cream if your skin is dry.

Price: from 480 rub.

Anti-wrinkle face cream Secrets Lan placental

Anti-wrinkle cream from a Chinese manufacturer is based on sheep placenta. The manufacturer claims that the cream restores the skin’s ability to regenerate and in this natural way rejuvenates the face, evens out the tone, and smoothes out wrinkles. In fact, almost none of the women’s promises came true. The product, which is sold as a day cream, due to its heavy consistency and poor absorption, can only be applied at night, and the effect of the cream is only to soften the skin. So it is usually recommended only to young women with dry skin.

Price: from 190 rub.

Face cream Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Gentle lifting cream

Day cream with peptides for course use (recommended for use at intervals of 4–6 months). The composition is predominantly synthetic:

• coco-caprylate (silicone analogue);
• caprylic caprictriglyceride (coconut oil fraction);
• octyldodecyl myristate (emollient);
• glycerol;
• shea butter;
• butylene glycol (preservative);
• cetearyl alcohol (protects skin).

But the cream’s claimed lifting effect is fully justified: after it is absorbed, there are fewer wrinkles, the skin feels more pleasant to the touch and looks younger. The only drawback is the high cost of the cream. But here women offer a way out - to alternate expensive, high-quality care with other cosmetics.

Price: from 3483 rub.

Facial cream Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Gentle lifting cream can be used in courses, with a break of 3-6 months

“Rose Garden” Cream mask with algae from Styx

• Damask rose distillate;
• calendula oil;
• macadamia oil;
• algae extract;
• royal jelly;
• Damask rose essential oil;
• neroli essential oil;

The cream mask activates lymph and blood flow, and therefore removes swelling, refreshes the complexion, makes the skin denser and lighter. Recommended for daytime use.

Price: from 2930 rub.

Face cream Zeytun For skin tightening express lifting

Day cream from an Arab manufacturer. The composition is predominantly natural:

• olive oil;
• apricot oil;
• Coconut oil;
• shea butter;
• grape seed oil;
• ylang-ylang essential oil;
• menthol;
• cucumber juice;
• hyaluronic acid;
• natural stearic acid;

There are no mentions of synthetics in the composition at all, but the shelf life is 1 year, so there must be some (undeclared) preservatives in the cream. There are no complaints about the product, only positive reviews. The manufacturer promises that dark circles under the eyes will decrease, pores and fine wrinkles will become smaller, and the skin will become lighter—and this is what happens. The cream can be used at any age.

Price: from 660 rub.

Eye cream Anti-wrinkle eraser Organic Kitchen Organic Shop series

The manufacturer advises applying eye cream in the morning or throughout the day, promising that wrinkles will “erase” (as indicated by the name of the cream - eraser). The promise is tempting, but the composition speaks for itself - there is not a single component in it that would contribute to intense hydration and filling of wrinkles. What components does the cream consist of:

• Peach oil;
• silk hydrolyzate (protects skin);
• dicaprylyl ether (solvent);
• olive oil;
• sorbitol (humectant);
• octyldodecanol (solvent).

The cream can be used if there are no problems with the skin around the eyes. There are positive reviews that the product has cured dark circles and reduced wrinkles, but they are few and far between.

Price: from 280 rub.

Differences between expensive and cheap anti-aging products

There is a myth that only expensive anti-aging creams work effectively. In fact, there are a lot of decent cosmetics in the budget segment. Some brands represented in the mass market, such as Garnier, are part of large cosmetic corporations and over time copy the compositions of the products of their more expensive “brothers”. Thus, proven, effective formulas become more accessible to consumers.

This review presents a rating of the best lifting face creams in different price categories. The top 9 are based on customer reviews.

Reviews

I tried a lot of creams, mostly not expensive, no more than 300 rubles. and I’m happy, the cream of a hundred recipes is ideal for me, even redness, irritation, and small pimples go away. I was recently given a hair mask from this brand, it smells amazingly simple and the hair after the mask is smooth and pleasant to the touch. But I want to try something new, to try harder.

For two years now I have been using only Thai coconut oil, first pressed, which hardens at room temperature. Sooooo pleased.

In Russia, even if there are creams, they are only fakes, what the girls write, they are young, everything seems to help them. I’m also 50, and my skin doesn’t have a wrinkle, why do I need a cream for “+50”? Everything is very individual. Therefore, I constantly go to a cosmetologist, but this can be a little expensive for some. And what they write on the jars is ADVERTISING, I myself work in an advertising company, we come up with things that the manufacturers of the goods did not even dare to think about.

The composition of lifting creams for different age groups is similar - only the quantity and ratio of components in the composition changes. It cannot be said that a firming cream has a long-lasting effect and really helps to lose 5-7 years - this is not possible for any cosmetic product. But the cream, however, improves the appearance of the skin - due to the intensive nutrition and hydration that the cells receive, the face is, as it were, “filled” from the inside with the missing volume, tightened, so that folds and wrinkles become much less noticeable. But this effect will only last until the evening, until the woman washes off the cream. This is how any product works, no matter what the manufacturer says about innovative composition and super formulas.

Are there any contraindications for anti-aging cosmetics: how to protect yourself

If you use some kind of cosmetics and it causes discomfort, there may be several reasons for this: artificial composition,

• content of potential allergens;
• your age does not match the labeling of the product.

To protect yourself, try to understand the composition (there are free resources for this, for example, this one) and read reviews. If possible, start using a new cream with a sample - in case the full-size package turns out to be unnecessary. If you have already bought it, be sure to do an allergy test: smear a drop of cream on the skin on your wrist and do not wash it off for 15 minutes. Based on the reaction, it will be clear whether this product can be applied to the face or not.
