I have another cream that I have been having great results from. I love it when I find another great product. I have been using this for about 2 weeks and it really does smooth my face. The product is Anavita Moisturizing Anti-Wrinkle Cream and it is super thick and luxurious. When I apply it to my freshly cleansed face, it has a cooling sensation and absorbs quickly. What remains on my skin is a feeling of supple and moisturized skin. I especially notice the softness in my cheeks, it is not heavy or greasy, and it almost feels like it temporarily fills in my skin and pores. This is why it works as a fantastic base / primer for my foundation. After first application, I wondered if it had Dimethicone in it (a silicone) since it smoothed my pores so well. I looked at the ingredient list and it has that ingredient listed. Some people may not respond well to using silicone in their beauty products, but for me, my skin always does well with it. This is an ingredient used in all my foundation primers. It blurs pores temporarily when I use anything with Dimethicone in it. The Anavita cream makes my makeup apply smoothly and my skin feels like silk afterward. The fragrance of this cream is light and smells clean. I have not had any irritation or breakouts using this cream.
This is how I apply the cream:
After my face is freshly cleansed, I apply my Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid serums. About every other day I apply a 2.5% retinal serum or cream (depending what I have on hand). After the serums / creams have absorbed, I apply about a nickle sized amount of the Anavita all over my face and neck. I probably use more than I really need, but I always apply my cosmetics generously. The cream is a thick anti-aging cream that can be used as a moisturizer, day cream, night cream, and makeup base. I use it as a base for my BB cream and foundation in the day, and then at night, after my face has been cleansed and prepped, I apply it in the evening before bed. I always like applying my anti-aging serums and creams twice a day as I feel it boosts the results. I am not claiming that this has dramatically improved my skin in only 2 weeks, however, I believe that actively applying moisturizers to your skin help prevent wrinkles and my skin appears smoother and healthier. Skin needs moisture to stay healthy and soft.
The Anavita cream stimulates collagen production and rejuvenates skin cells. It contains Hyaluronic acid, Argireline (5%), and Matrixyl. I am familiar with Hyaluronic acid and Matrixyl, but am new to Argireline.
