Is it bad to wear anti-wrinkle cream if you don’t have wrinkles yet?
I’m 23 and just got this Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle cream. It has retinol and SPF 15 in it. Will using this help to prevent wrinkles in the future? I just thought why start wearing it when you start to get the wrinkles??
Its fine. Retinol is mainly prescribed for acne. And then of course Wrinkles. So its totally fine and its good to start in your 20’s.
Its much easier to prevent then fix skin issues in the future!

No it’s not bad. Prevention is better than cure and 23 definitely isn’t too young for anti aging products.

I don’t think it’s bad – that being said I have been using anti-wrinkle products since I was 15 and I’m now 27! If you really are concerned about wrinkles and aging have a look at your mum and older female relatives and how they have aged. Eg my Mum doesn’t have many wrinkles but she has a lot of sagging so I’ve been using anti-wrinkle and anti-sagging products. Call me obsessive but I don’t care!
Just be careful with Retinol as too much can make skin sensitive to sunlight.
