No: It does not help actually that much. Imagine that some creams are recommended only if you are over 35 to be used. This because these products contains tenths of chemical compounds that potentially can disturb the normal skin balance.The way to prevent premature aging is by eating healthy, being active, thinking positive and using natural products to enhance your natural health.

Cream has sunscreen?: The sun and genetics play big roles in creating wrinkles. Not getting tans and sunburns will make skin last years longer before getting the aged, weathered look. That means a "sexy" tan today will give you those "sexy" wrinkles ten years from today. Avoiding sun overexposure means getting vitamin d from other sources. Genetics plays a role because certain racial groups wrinkle more than others.

Asthma Dr. can help: If a person needs more than 3 treatments with cortisone-type steroids for asthma-type coughing or wheezing symptoms, he can see an asthma/allergy specialist. These specialists are sometimes lung doctors and sometimes allergy doctors. They can do lung testing and help put the person on preventive medications to try to prevent recurrent illnesses, so fewer treatments of steroids will be needed.

Repairs collagen: The goal with prevention is to repair damaged collagen that comes from tanning, smoking, etc. The healthier the skin is the less likely it will wrinkle and sag. Prevention is about repairing hurt collagen. Retin-a can help build new collagen over time as well as lasers like the pixel (erbium yag).

Yes: The best anti aging cream is sunscreen. Good sun care practices (sunscreens, hats, doing outdoor activities before 10 am and after 4 pm) is the best way to prevent skin aging, and to minimize the risk of skin cancer. Other topical treatments to consider are topical antioxidants, which reduce the injury effect of the sun's rays, and tretinoin cream, which stimulates collagen product.
