I have been using Strivectin’s wrinkle cream that supposedly started out as a stretch mark cream for a while now, and I do like the results I get, but I have to say that the results only tend to be for the duration the stuff is actually on my face, and they do wear off throughout the day.
I’m thinking that the primary force at work here in Strivectin is some sort of plumping and filling out agent that makes your wrinkles virtually disappear when the cream is rubbed in forcefully, and throughout the day as the cream is absorbed by the skin and the ingredients begin to wear off, you will notice that your wrinkles do become more visible.
Not only is it a loss of hydration, which naturally make wrinkles and fine lines stand out more, but it is also the loss of the plumping ingredients. I think this is why they say adamantly that you must put the cream on three times a day, since your skin looks best when the ingredients are still active and the heavy moisture base is still hydrating the skin, making wrinkles less obvious.
I don’t know that it actually really permanently fills anything in or helps “iron out” wrinkles over the long haul though, unfortunately. I do like the effects it has on my skin, and it does sink in quickly and does not leave a greasy feel or look, so I would still recommend it to people with anti aging and wrinkle concerns – just don’t expect a “cure” for your wrinkles.
