4 Ways to Get Rid of Wrinkles Naturally
1. Use Retinoids because they actually work!
- Retinoids are the ONLY thing approved by the FDA as an anti-wrinkle treatment.
- Every study done on retinoids from the early 70's up until now has proven again & again Retinoids actually get rid of wrinkles, age spots & acne.
- In 6 weeks to 6 months you'll see a major reduction of the wrinkles you have now from using retinoid creams.
- Retinoids get rid of your wrinkles by making more collagen & hyaluronic acid in your skin. This reverses the thinning of your skin making it thicker to smooth out & erase your wrinkles.
- Retinoids like adapalene (Differin) tretinoin (Retin-A or Renova) and tazarotene (Tazorac or Avage) are only available via prescription so,
For FDA approval, drug companies have to do scientific studies that absolutely prove retinoids get rid of wrinkles. It is the only thing on the market that has such concrete evidence Miami dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann

2. After Retinoids, Retinol is your best option
Although Retinol is not as powerful as Retinoids… A group of senior citizens in this study whose average age was 87 years old saw a dramatic reduction of their wrinkles in 6 months.
Don't use Retinoids or Retinol if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
For the best results,
- Use retinoid or retinol creams at night because exposure to the sun makes retinoids & retinol less effective.
- Do not use Benzoyl peroxide or Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with retinoid or retinol creams because they'll make them useless.
- Your Retinol products need to come in opaque packaging (meaning anything but a glass jar) → Exposure to light will degrade the Retinoid and Retinol.
- Use sunscreen to prevent any loss of 'wrinkle-reducing' collagen built up by retinoids.
To prevent or limit any dryness, flaking, redness or irritation,
- Follow your doctor's orders if using Retinoids or,
- Follow the instructions on the label if using Retinol.
- Wait 20 minutes after washing your face before applying retinoid or retinol cream. Apply a moisturizer 5-to-10 minutes later.
Start using the creams once every other night or,
- Once every 3-to-4 days. This gives your skin time to build up a tolerance to the creams before you start nightly use.
- Any dryness, flaking, redness or irritation side effects usually go away within the first 2 weeks.
- Only apply a pea sized amount of the Retinoid or Retinol cream for your entire face because,
- More is not better. Too much too soon will definitely lead to flaking and thinner looking skin.
If you have dry or sensitive skin,
- Use 1 of the other options on this page to get rid of wrinkles or,
- Use retinol before using the stronger Retinoids or,
- Ask your doctor for the less milder adapalene (Differin) before using the stronger tretinoin (Retin-A or Renova) or tazarotene (Tazorac or Avage)
3. Put Vitamin C on your face
Study after study shows Vitamin C can get rid of your wrinkles within 12 weeks because like retinoids & retinol… Putting Vitamin C on your face forces your skin to produce more collagen to smooth out your wrinkles.
- Use a good topical vitamin C product like Avalon Renewal Creme or Hyper-C Serum or,
- Rub the juices of foods high in Vitamin C over your face. Home remedies for wrinkles work because they involve something high in Vitamin C
