    Its not possible to remove wrinkes with a cream mate. Just moisture from here on in with a simple moisturiser......

  • Loreal for men is OK, Clinique is lovely but pricey. But USE SUNBLOCK DAILY!!!!!!! Otherwise, they'll just get worse and worse and worse and worse....

    I've used moisturiser since the day I was born, that the joys of excema, I was simply hoping there would be a cream available the would reduce the look of the wrinkles/lines a little.

    I agree, you need to use the the sun protection every morning, summer and winter, rain or shine; most women don't have to think about it because our daily moisturisers and foundations already contain SP.

    It's prevention , rather than cure, I'm afraid!!
  • How about this, is it any good?

    It's a case of horses for courses!! Nivea creams are as good as any to try. I recommend Boots Protect and Perform products and they have introduced a range for men. You need to decide on your budget really, first.

    Some people will tell you these creams are a waste of money and a simple moisturiser will do the job; many others, self included, do notice positive improvements. Don't expect a miracle though!!

    As for which cream, it's a case of trial and error. Most women try out different products until they find one that suits them. You need to give
    it a fair trial though....a jars worth I'd say, unless your skin reacts badly.

    Sometimes after a while, you may find you need to switch products as they no longer seem as effective.

    You need to perservere with a regular routine, as well as keeping up the healthy living bits, for optimum results!
    Hope this helps!

    use cucumber slices, and save your money.

    all those ads for face creams etc should be banned under the advertising laws.
    Get some gorm.

    Oh dear! Think you're a bit confused there, cucumber slices are recommended for toning , not moisturising;)

    Hope this helps:D

    I would recommend Eucerin Q10 Wrinkle Cream - You can get it from Boots but it's £17 I normally get mine off ebay for about £7. I had and sometimes still get eczema too and it's brilliant because it's really moisturising but it's also for sensitive skin but at the same time will not clog pores and cause spots.

    There is also a temporary wrinkle filler you can get called Tri-aktiline - I personally haven't tried it but I am going to recently based on some good reviews I have seen on it. They sell that in Boots too but I bet can get it on ebay half the price.
