Best Anti-Ageing Creams For Men

There’s no harm in admitting it, at least not to one’s own self. Human beings are vain, some more than the others. We’d all like to stop time, certainly its effects, most of which are rather unwanted. The face we see when we look in the mirror might be reflecting everything we’ve been through, through the years, but we’d love it if the skin on our forehead, mouth and around the eyes would stop showing it.

Vanity isn’t fair. Nor is it only the virtue of one gender alone. Men are as vain as the fairer sex. Some even vain-er. Which is fine. They might not be admitting it as yet, but they’ll come around. They always do. Some people just take more time. Not where it matters, sure, but that’s just how men do things. The more important point is that sooner or later they do admit it. Like they will in this case. What else explains the number of creams being sold in the name of anti-ageing? You seriously believe it’s only the women buying and using them all?

Speaking of anti-ageing creams, there’s no dearth of options available. Honestly, every second product in the market, if not each one of them, promises to help you reverse signs of ageing, fight its onset, and help you achieve the skin of your dreams, or some such thing. Are all of them just as good? That’s not possible. But you can certainly identify the good ones!

How to Choose An Anti-Ageing Cream

It’s not that hard – you've just got to check the ingredients. Here are some things to look for when purchasing any anti-ageing cream:

• Antioxidants (Vitamin C, E, B3 etc.) to neutralise free radicals  
  

• Retinoids for cell renewal and rejuvenation 
  

• Hyaluronic acid for moisture 
  

• Ceramides to heal and strengthen skin barrier 
  

• Peptides for collagen production 
  

• AHAs for skin exfoliation and stimulation 
  

Any anti-ageing with one, two or more of these ingredients is a good option. It should be compatible with your skin type, of course, and work for the season and climate you’re living in.

Esquire tip: Don’t forget to lather some SPF in the morning if you’ve been using retinol at night
