Difference between moisturizer and anti-aging cream

What is the difference between a moisturizer and an anti-aging cream?

Is a moisturizing cream the same as an anti-aging cream?
What is the difference?

Are our men's creams moisturizing, anti-aging..., or “Anti-Stress” as we say at Homo Naturals ?

In principle, a moisturizing cream is not the same as an anti-wrinkle cream.

As a general rule, we could say that the function of a moisturizing cream is to prevent wrinkles from appearing and that the function of an anti-wrinkle cream is to treat wrinkles that have already appeared .

That is to say, “anti-wrinkle” cream is usually considered to be something more powerful.

Anyway, we call step number 4 of our facial treatment for men “Anti-Stress Gel / Cream”.

We do not like to classify our Anti-Stress Gel or Cream in the category of only “moisturizing” or in the category of only “anti-wrinkle”, since it is a product (both in Gel and Cream format) that fulfils two functions at the same time: preventing and treating.

In any case, as a general rule, skin with a greater number of wrinkles tends to be skin with a greater degree of dryness , so if you think that your skin has a significant level of wrinkles that you need to treat quickly, we recommend our Anti-Stress Cream .

It is a facial cream that is formulated for normal skin and for dry skin , so unless you have very oily skin , it will provide you with great anti-aging action due to the large amount of active ingredients it contains, all with a dry-touch texture that does not leave shine .

If, even though you have combination skin or oily skin , you notice that you need to thoroughly treat wrinkles for a certain period of time, that is, at the shock treatment level, you can use our Anti-Stress Cream at night to help regenerate the skin while you sleep, and in the morning or during the day you can use our Anti-Stress Gel as it has a lighter texture.

Another option is to alternate the two facial care products depending on the time of year , which is also a way to nourish your skin with different ingredients. In this case, the best option would be to purchase our 365 Anti-Aging Kit , which consists of our Anti-Stress Gel + Anti-Stress Cream .

In summer or hotter times, we recommend the texture of our Facial Gel for men and in winter or colder times, we recommend the texture of our specific facial cream for men .

You also have to take into account the humidity of the climate in which you live. If you live in Madrid or far from the sea, the climate tends to be drier and our recommendation is to use our anti-aging cream instead.

And if you live in areas such as Barcelona, ​​the east of the peninsula, the Balearic Islands, Andalusia or the Canary Islands, then we recommend the Anti-Stress Gel for men .

To find out what type of texture is best suited to your skin, we recommend that you take our skin test . It is a short 2-minute questionnaire that will help you find out which products are best suited for your facial care . You will also receive a facial care routine tailored to your needs.

If you have any further questions about what type of gel or facial cream your skin needs, please leave your comments below and we will reply as soon as possible.
