Unfortunately, wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, but that doesn't mean we have no options to improve their appearance. Luckily, there are several ways we can address wrinkles. Whether it's your face, neck, or body, there are different products and ingredients you can use to address those pesky lines and creases.
Today, we'll explore the best approaches to treating wrinkles and chat about the difference between polypeptides and retinol. Let's get started.

Common Questions About Treating Wrinkles:
How Can I Treat Wrinkles On My Face?
When it comes to facial wrinkles, retinol and retinoids are the go-to ingredients. They work by increasing collagen production, improving skin texture, and reducing fine lines. But, some people struggle with skin sensitivity and may have a hard time using regular strength products. That’s where our gentle retinoid alternatives come in.

Okay, Great… But, Can I Use Retinol On My Body?
While retinol is excellent for the face, it might be too harsh for the body's more sensitive skin. Instead, consider using a specialized product like our Advanced Firming Cream, designed to target wrinkles and sagging skin on the body.

Polypeptides vs Retinol: What’s The Difference?
If you’ve been reading labels for anti-wrinkle products, you’ve probably seen the word polypeptides… but, what are they?
Polypeptides are small proteins that help improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles. They are a milder alternative to retinol, making them suitable for those with sensitive skin.
Where Should I Use The Advanced Firming Cream?
Knowing where to apply your skincare products is crucial for the best results. Basically, this product can be applied anywhere you have crepey, wrinkled skin. Some of these spots include the neck, chest, hands, arms, legs, and stomach.
