I’m 54 and don’t have visible wrinkles – I’ve only ever used 3 ingredients, my mother made me stick to my moisturizer
A SKINCARE fan has shared her holy grail moisturizer that has kept wrinkles at bay.
She thanked her mother for forcing her to use it as much as possible.
Redditor Ok_Squirrel_64 shared the anti-aging tip in a post.
She explained that she’d never used actives to prevent wrinkles before, but it’s never been a problem.
“I’m 54 now, and I’ve never used retinol or tretinoin and don’t have many visible wrinkles except my nasolabial folds (which I would consider the only ones that are truly visible!),” she said.
“I more so struggle with the fine lines and get agitated when my makeup sinks in the lines.”
Instead, her anti-aging skincare routine consists mainly of three ingredients.
“I’ve only ever used three ingredients in my life in regards to moisturizing or treating my skin,” she said.
First up is sunscreen, which she uses religiously and has gotten used to “slathering my face with this every second.”
Her holy grail product is Pond’s cream, which she credited her mother for.
“My mother always made me use it, and I’m so grateful!” she said.
A treatment product gives her boosts whenever she feels the need.
“A Korean balm infused with salmon collagen (again, my mother always used it, so I would just steal it from her, and I think this is the real reason why I don’t get any deep wrinkles!),” she said.
“I used to apply it to my face during the day to keep it hydrated and moisturized, and it always kept my skin so firm, too!”
Target shoppers raved about the $8 Pond’s cream that kept their skin hydrated and firm.
“Love how hydrated it makes my skin. I have tried many moisturizers before and could never find one that works for me as I have seborrheic dermatitis,” said one reviewer.
“My skin would get red and react to others, but this one has been working [amazingly] for me.
“I love the fragrance and how it only takes one dab of moisturizer to get your whole face.”
Another praised how the cream kept their skin youthful and netted them frequent compliments.
“I have been using Pond’s since I was a teenager, and I am now 81,” said one happy customer.
“People usually compliment my skin. It may have a lot to do with Pond’s.”
“I’ve tried out so many different products for my skin, and nothing has worked. Tried this once and never looked back,” said another.
“I use the cold cream and this moisturizer every day, and my skin is so good now. All my girlfriends say my skin is so soft and are so shocked when I say this is all I use.
“They call me a grandma, but hey, since this works, I’m proud to use it. I love how affordable and simple this is. Absolutely amazing for my skin!”
