FAQs

What are fine lines and wrinkles?

Fine lines are superficial creases in the topmost layer of the skin that are in the first stage of developing wrinkles and appear when you make a facial movement. On the other hand, wrinkles are often deep-set folds, creases and ridges that can be visibly seen when your skin is in a rested state. But most importantly, fine lines and wrinkles are signs of living a great life.

What causes wrinkles and fine lines to appear on the skin?

As you age, several factors come into play, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Thinning skin, a slower cell turnover rate, reduced production of collagen and elastin, as well as lifestyle choices like sun exposure, tobacco use and alcohol consumption all contribute to the skin's diminishing flexibility and its ability to return to its original tautness. Consequently, fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear. Incorporating anti-ageing products into your skincare routine can help slow these effects.

What are the key ingredients in your anti-ageing products?

Our skincare for fine lines and wrinkles contains several high-performance ingredients. Vitamin A (retinol and retinaldehyde) promotes cell turnover and smooths the skin, while peptides help to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Antioxidants like vitamin C protect your skin from free radicals, which can cause premature ageing. These ingredients work together to target multiple signs of ageing, from wrinkles to uneven skin tone.

Can Medik8 anti-ageing products completely eliminate fine lines and wrinkles?

Nothing can completely eliminate the signs of creases in the skin without invasive and non-invasive procedures and a magic wand, but our anti-wrinkle products are the next best thing. Our dedicated anti-ageing serums and creams offer a comprehensive system for age management. 

Our collection includes bioavailable peptides to help prevent the signs of fine lines and crow’s feet before they become an issue and vitamin A products that increase your skin turnover and refine your skin for a younger-looking finish. We also offer hydrating products that add a dose of moisture to plump the skin and temporarily smooth your complexion.

Can anti-ageing products reverse the ageing process?

While anti-ageing products cannot fully reverse the ageing process, they can significantly reduce the visible signs of ageing. Regular use of anti-wrinkle products, for instance, helps smooth the appearance of fine lines, improve skin texture and protect against further damage. Ingredients like peptides help to keep skin supple and plump, while antioxidants shield your skin from environmental aggressors, slowing the visible signs of ageing and giving you a more youthful-looking appearance.

When should I start using anti-ageing products?

You can start using anti-wrinkle products in your mid-20s to early 30s, as this is when collagen production begins to slow down. By incorporating these products early, you can help preserve your skin’s elasticity and firmness before noticeable signs of ageing, like fine lines and wrinkles, start to appear. Early prevention also helps your skin retain moisture and maintain a more youthful-looking texture, delaying the visible effects of ageing.

How long does it usually take to see noticeable results from using Medik8 anti-wrinkle products?

While hydration-focused products will plump your skin within minutes, it can take around four to six months of consistent use for vitamin A and peptide-enriched products to work before you see a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Are there any side effects or considerations when using anti-ageing products?

Potent actives like vitamin A have some contraindications and cannot be used when pregnant to breastfeeding. AHA and BHA exfoliators, as well as retinol and retinaldehyde-powered fine lines and wrinkle skincare can also make your skin susceptible to UV rays, requiring the regular application of a broad-spectrum SPF daily. Additionally, their skin-renewing properties can dry your skin and potentially flake if you haven’t properly acclimated to its formulation. To help relieve impacted skin, we suggest incorporating a rich barrier support moisturiser.

Are your anti-ageing products suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, many of our anti-ageing products are suitable for sensitive skin. We use gentle formulations that deliver powerful results without causing irritation. Do a patch test first and gradually introduce stronger ingredients, like retinol, to allow your skin to build tolerance. Sensitive skin types may also benefit from pairing active treatments with hydrating or barrier-repairing products to minimise any potential irritation.

How do I incorporate anti-wrinkle products into my skincare routine?

To incorporate anti-wrinkle products into your routine, start with a gentle cleanser to prep your skin. Apply a treatment serum like a peptide or vitamin A product, followed by a moisturiser to lock in hydration. In the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage, which is a major contributor to premature ageing. Gradually introduce potent ingredients like retinol and exfoliants to avoid irritation and maximise results over time.
