Signs That Your Anti-Wrinkle Cream Isn’t Working Anti-wrinkle creams are meant to reduce fine lines , improve skin texture, and prevent early signs of aging. But not every product works for every skin type, and sometimes results aren’t as expected. Knowing the signs that your anti-wrinkle cream isn’t working can save you time, money, and frustration. No Visible Improvement in Fine Lines or Wrinkles If you’ve been using the cream consistently for several weeks or months and see no change in your skin’s lines or wrinkles, it may not be effective for your skin type or age group.

Breakouts or Acne Flare-Ups Some anti-aging creams contain heavy oils or ingredients that clog pores. If you notice increased acne or blackheads after starting a new product, it may not be the right one for your ski...

What to Avoid When Using Vitamin C Serum Vitamin C serum is a powerhouse in skincare —brightening, evening skin tone, and fighting free radicals. But to get the most out of it (and avoid irritation or ineffectiveness), there are a few things you shouldn't do. Here's what to avoid when using Vitamin C serum: Avoid Using It with Certain Ingredients Some active ingredients don’t play well with Vitamin C, and combining them can cause skin irritation or reduce their effectiveness. Avoid: Benzoyl Peroxide – It can oxidize Vitamin C, making it less effective. Retinol – Both are strong ingredients, and using them together can irritate sensitive skin. AHAs/BHAs (like glycolic or salicylic acid) – Using them right after Vitamin C can increase the risk of irritation or dryness. Use Vitamin C in the morning and reserve other active ingredients like retinol or exfoliants for nighttime. Don’t Skip Sunscreen Vitamin C boosts sun protection, but it doesn’t replace sunscreen. UV rays can s...
