Pharmacist advice

Anti-ageing cream works best as part of a consistent routine that includes gentle cleansing, moisturising and daily UV protection. Without sunscreen, photoageing, wrinkles and dark spots may become more visible.

Niacinamide is generally well tolerated, but this particular formula also contains denatured alcohol and fragrance. Introduce it gradually when skin is highly reactive or affected by active rosacea or dermatitis.

Do not apply over shaving cuts or markedly irritated skin. Use a gentle soothing balm first and apply the anti-ageing cream once the skin has settled.

Avoid introducing several new active products at the same time. When using retinoids, exfoliating acids or strong vitamin C products, add combinations gradually.

A cosmetic cream can support a more hydrated and smoother appearance, but it cannot completely remove existing wrinkles or replace dermatological treatment.
