The best anti-aging creams for men on the market

Anti-aging creams for men must have certain characteristics to be considered the best . Some of them include:

1. High Level of Active Ingredients : The best anti-aging creams for men should contain a high percentage of active ingredients that help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. Some common active ingredients in anti-wrinkle creams include hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, vitamin C , and vitamin E.
   
   The problem with conventional creams (i.e. non-natural creams) is that they contain petroleum-derived oils as excipients, which, being refined, are inert materials that do nothing for your skin. In fact, it has even been shown that paraffins, Vaseline and other petroleum derivatives end up drying out the lower layers of the skin even more . And skin that is dehydrated in its lower layers is skin with a very high probability of showing signs of premature aging .
   
   For this reason, we recommend that you use only 100% natural anti-aging creams , which are formulated only with plant extracts and vegetable oils.
   
   Their fatty acids are more similar to those of your skin, so they will be more effective , and these ingredients are also very rich in active ingredients such as vitamins, proteins, phytosterols and other antioxidants for your skin.

2. Proper level of hydration : The best anti-aging creams for men should provide the right level of hydration to men's skin to keep it soft and supple. Well-hydrated skin tends to have fewer wrinkles and fine lines.
   
   That is why we only recommend anti-aging creams without petroleum derivatives , which, as we have already explained in the previous point, end up dehydrating the lower layers of the skin, causing premature aging. Use only natural anti-aging creams for men formulated with vegetable oils and plant extracts, instead of mineral oils derived from petroleum.

3. Firming : Men's skin tends to have a higher level of oil secretion , and oily skin has the advantage that wrinkles appear later, but suffer from premature sagging .
   
   Therefore, it is vital that the best anti-aging creams for men contain active ingredients to firm the skin and prevent premature sagging .
   
   Our Anti-Stress Gel for combination and oily skin contains Conifer Extract, which is an excellent active ingredient with a tightening effect . And our Anti-Stress Cream for normal and dry skin contains Jojoba, rich in ceramides, to keep our skin cells together.
   
   

4. Sunscreen?
   This topic is very controversial, and we have an article dedicated exclusively to explaining whether your anti-aging cream should have sunscreen.
   
   It is often recommended that anti-wrinkle creams contain sun protection. However, if you want to use a 100% natural anti-wrinkle cream with sun protection, its texture will be too greasy and will leave a white film on your skin, which is not very attractive.
   
   If your anti-wrinkle cream with sun protection does not leave a white trace, this means that the sun filter it contains is chemical, and this type of chemical filter is very controversial, both for our health and for the environment.
   
   That's why our solution is to use a 100% natural sunscreen in stick format that has an SPF 50 protection factor and a touch of color like our Sunstick .
   
   This will allow you to hydrate your skin with a suitable texture like that of our Anti-Stress Gel / Cream , and you can then apply your Sunstick , thus avoiding unwanted greasiness while keeping your skin always protected from UVA and UVB rays.

5. Suitable for skin type : It is important that anti-aging creams for men are not only formulated for the needs of men's skin, but also according to each man's skin type .
   
   You can have oily skin , combination skin , normal skin and dry skin , depending on the degree of sebum secretion of your skin. If you don't know what type of skin you have, you can read this article about the different skin types , and you can also take our skin test . By answering this form, a facial care routine tailored to your skin type will be created.
   
   Creams for dry skin may not be effective on oily skin and vice versa. Therefore, it is important to choose an anti-aging cream that suits your skin type.

6. Proper texture : The texture of the anti-aging cream is also important. A texture that is too greasy can clog pores and cause acne problems, while a texture that is too light may not provide the necessary hydration . The right texture will depend on each person's skin type.

7. Non-comedogenic : Anti-aging creams for men should be non-comedogenic, meaning they won't clog pores . This is especially important for those with acne-prone skin .

8. Long-lasting formula : The best anti-aging creams for men should have a long-lasting formula that provides all-day hydration and protection.

9. No synthetic fragrances : Synthetic perfumes can contain phthalates and other unwanted ingredients, so it's important to choose anti-aging creams that are free of artificial fragrances , and formulated either unscented, or with only 100% pure essential oils like our Anti-Stress Gel/Cream .

In short, the best anti-aging creams for men should contain a high level of active ingredients, an adequate level of hydration, be firming, be formulated for your skin type, have a texture suitable for men's skin, be non-comedogenic, have a long-lasting formula and be free of synthetic perfumes.

When choosing an anti-aging cream , it is important to consider these features to ensure you are purchasing an effective product that is suitable for your skin.
