Answer 1

Typically they have retinol or collagen which are proteins that strengthen the dermal layers which smooths wrinkles. Like makeup, if you don’t wear it one day, for maybe an adventure outside, you may see a difference. The next application will smooth things out, like foundation.

Unless you have another skin condition that you are using the creams together with your treatment
