Advice Needed On Cream.

Are there any decent creams available for males that can be applied to the face to erase mild wrinkle lines? I'm only 25 but there are some wrinkles on my face that I would like to eradicate.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

    There's really no cream in the world that will get rid of wrinkles, just some creams help to lesson them, but it's not permanent, as soon as you stop using the cream you see them again.

    There's a myriad hun.
    I use Avon Anew, but being a woman I'd use different to you? I can't see why though myself.

    Marks and Spencer do a really good wrinkle filler, I think it's about a tenner, it hides the wrinkle really well. It would last quite a while.

    Lots and lots of face creams promise to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Nobody can work out what this actually means ;)

    That sounds like what I'm looking for, oh the curse of having excema.

    I don't think it needs to be 'for men'. Try nivea (the ordinary kind) or oil of olay. They'll keep your skin moisturised which will help slow down the appearance of new wrinkles but nothing will make the ones already there disappear.

    Do you smoke? If you do, the best thing you can do for your skin is to stop.

    Also, if they're laughter lines, I wouldn't hide them for the world!
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    Thanks.

    I don't smoke and I have reduced the amount of coffee I drink, I also drink a lot more water which was recommended to me.

    I just want to use something that will clear the appearance of wrinkles for a reasonable period of time.

    I had crows feet since I was 20 and laughter lines since I was 23.

    I don't smoke either.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

    I think men look better with a few lines, however my DH uses boots time delay for men which he says feels "OK" (being male that means he like it I think!)
