Antiaging miracle: Retin-a is the answer. It became popular more than 20 years ago as an acne treatment. But doctors and patients soon noticed another benefit; its incredible anti aging effects.
Retin-a users reported improvements in skin texture, including diminished wrinkles and brown spots. You can find it as prescription product, including generic formulations such as Retin-A micro and renova (tretinoin).

For more sensitive skin that can not use Retin-a, try Retrinal made from Avene and after a few months, move up to Retin-A.

I also like Refissa for sensitive patients, but moving up is key.

Retin A (tretinoin) plus: I wholeheartedly agree that Retin-A is a wonderful medication. In many ways it is the "nutrition" that everyone's skin requires to stay young. However, it is a medication that does not penetrate very well on its own. Used "straight" it can do wonders for acne, but to really treat wrinkles you need to help it penetrate. See your plastic surgeon or derm to combine it with peels, exfoliation, etc.

Retin-a: The best anti-wrinkle cream is retin-a. It helps exfoliate the skin, helps correct sun damage and if used overtime helps correct wrinkles. The trick is to start with something really low and then build up. Most people start at too high of a strength and it causes problems for them. I like avene's retinal that is great for sensitive skin and for rosacea.

Wrinkle RX: What you need to know is stick to what is proven and not get caught up in hype.
1. Prevent further sun damage is key. You need a good sunscreen SPF 30 or higher every day.
2. Improve the damage the is already been done. The data with Retin-A is strongest. It can improve texture, soften fine lines and pigment. Many adult have a hard time tolerating preciption and good retinol can help as well.

Beware: Be careful of products which market themselves as "natural" but yet contain many ingredient names you don't understand. Some may cause allergic or irritant reactions. Simpler is better.

Depends: Depends on what your skin care needs are... Do you have problems with acne? Dry skin? In general, products that are fragrance-free and lack unnecessary ingredients are preferred. Some safe choices are cerave & cetaphil products. You should see your physician or be evaluated by a dermatologist for more specific recommendations given your skin type.

Combination. : Sounds like combination skin which will often respond to gentle exfoliation, a hydrating moisturizer as needed and a 'vitamin a' based product 2-3 times per week at night like retin a (tretinoin) or a retinol.
