OCU puts anti-wrinkle creams to the test – and the results aren’t pretty
If you’ve ever stood in front of a shelf full of anti-wrinkle creams wondering whether the €5 one could possibly […]
Most of the 13 anti-wrinkle creams tested by Spain's consumer watchdog OCU reduced wrinkle depth by between 10 and 20 percent. Prices varied greatly, with some products costing up to €60 while others, like Cien Q10 Intense FPS 15 priced at just €3.99, provided similar results. While the creams moisturized the skin effectively, improving hydration and leaving it feeling soft and elastic, their impact on visibly reducing wrinkles was modest.
Two products, Filorga Creme Time Filler and Cien Q10 Intense FPS 15, did show slightly better wrinkle reduction, but the Filorga cream cost 13 times more than the Cien product. OCU concluded that these anti-wrinkle creams offer more hydration benefits than significant wrinkle reduction, suggesting that well-hydrated skin can appear smoother, but does not necessarily mean the product has significantly diminished the depth of existing wrinkles.
