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.
