What age should I start anti-ageing products?

Sunscreen from your teens. The rest when you see the need — a number is not a good guide.

Should I use an exfoliant every day?

Not at the start. Begin twice a week and increase only if your skin tolerates it. Persistent stinging means you are overdoing it.

Can a cream remove wrinkles?

No. Topical products improve the look of fine lines and help prevent them worsening, but they do not erase deep wrinkles.

Fine lines and loss of firmness

Collagen production slows with time and skin gradually loses its elasticity. Sun exposure speeds this up.

Much of what we call skin ageing is the accumulated effect of sun rather than age alone. That makes sunscreen the most effective anti-ageing product there is, and no night cream replaces it.

Alongside it, hydration makes fine lines look shallower, and exfoliating products help surface renewal. Start exfoliation slowly; overdoing it damages the skin barrier and works against you.

No topical product reverses deep wrinkles or structural sagging. Any claim otherwise is not an honest one.
