The Sostar Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream with Collagen is a 50ml intensive anti-aging night cream. Its rich formula combines plant extracts, retinol and collagen, ingredients known for their anti-aging and antioxidant properties. According to the manufacturer, it nourishes the skin during the night and at the same time contributes to the renewal and reconstruction of its appearance.
It is the evening step of the collagen range by Sostar. In the morning, the routine can be continued with the collagen face cream, which the manufacturer recommends as a combination, or with the day version with SPF15, which adds a sun protection index.
Retinol is a form of vitamin A and one of the most studied ingredients in anti-aging care. In the skin, it gradually converts to retinoic acid, the form in which it interacts with cells. It is associated with skin renewal, which is why it is often found in creams for fine lines, uneven texture, and dull appearance.
There are two main reasons why retinol is used in the evening. The first is that sunlight breaks it down, so the night gives it the opportunity to act without this obstacle. The second is that the skin can become more sensitive to the sun when using products with retinoids, so the next day sun protection becomes even more important.
The night is also the period when the skin does not receive makeup, pollution, and sun. A richer cream then has all the hours of sleep to nourish and soften the surface, without the limitation of having to 'sit' well under make up.
It suits those who want an intensive anti-aging evening cream, for wrinkles, loss of elasticity, or tired skin. It should be avoided during pregnancy, as noted by the manufacturer. If you have not previously used products with retinol, start gradually so that the skin has time to adapt.
In the evening, after cleansing, apply a small amount to the face and neck, away from the eyes. Make gentle movements until it is absorbed. In the morning, use sun protection. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
No. The manufacturer states that it should be avoided during pregnancy. For breastfeeding, consult your doctor.
With retinol, the skin often reacts more strongly to sunlight, so morning protection is important.
Thin out the use to day instead of night and gradually increase. If the irritation persists, stop and consult a dermatologist.
It is best not to use it the same evening as strong exfoliants or acids, so as not to overburden the skin.
If your skin has not gotten used to retinol, start with two or three nights a week and, if there is no discomfort, switch to daily use.
Very sensitive skin often reacts to retinol. First test on a small area, for example under the chin.
