Hello,
My opinion. Anti-Aging Treatment Cream is just a marketing trick.
Marketing trick, because We need something to believe in.
So you have 2 options:
1. Botox.
2. Good genes.
the retinol reduce the appearance of the wrinkles but doesn't make it disappear.
my routine.:
I use retinol before sleeping on a clean and dry face.
I put cream for hydration and moist ( I personally use cerave)
when I wake up I clean my face again and wait for it to dry. then I apply the exfoliant (salicylic acid 2%). after 10 min cream again and sunscreen.
I repeat the sunscreen when is necessary
try not to use cream with scents because in general then contain alcohol and that make it dry

Those are great tips. I would just emphasize that sunscreen is super important if you want to use retinol, especially if it is prescription grade. Try to begin retinol very gradually (like once every 3 days, and increase slowly up to every day, always at bedtime). I think it's also better to just begin with one active ingredient at a time. For example, begin with a cleaner + retinol + moisturizer + sunscreen for a few weeks or months, then add other actives like vit c or salicylic acid, etc.
I had really bad skin in the past and retinol really helped me.
Guys, please use your head and do not believe this. And if this is your problem, please say - thank you God that this is my only problem.
All you need is good hygiene and good hydratation, sun cream is also a must with aging otherwise you may develop age spots.
Unless you have a special situation of extra dry skin or very oily one.
All the rest is marketing. You may do the rain dance and at one point it will rain. Is it really the dance which did it???
Retinol is converted in retinoic acid , a powerful morphogen. Nothing to play with, unless there is so little quantity that it will have no effects.
Retinol, also known as Vitamine A, is to be avoid by pregnant woman as it could interfere with normal foetus development. The native form is found in carotene, so eat carrots if you wish, save your money and go see a psychologue in need.

If you are serious about it, it is worth spending money on getting HALO and BBL procedures on your skin. It's not cheap and quite painful with a few months recovery time, but it actually gets you results compared to trying creams and lotions.
HALO is sort of like a device that emits a random pattern of tiny laser zaps into your skin, in order to trigger your body to renew the tissue. It's like many thousand small zaps as the device is rolled over your skin in a few passes from each direction. This works well on making wrinkles less visible.
BBL is broad band laser and is a more concentrated laser that is used to sun spots, moles, etc.. More for precise removal of dark spots.
