At what age did you start using "age-resisting"/"anti-aging"/"anti-wrinkle" cream??

I've been using Simple's Age-resisting cream since my DS was born a year ago (I was nearly 21), and some of my friends think I'm MAD Shock and i'm just wasting my money, but some relatives say they have used similar creams from their mid teens (now in their early 20's).

Am I mad?? [buconfused]

When did you start using any of these types of cream? How long have you been using them for? Have you seen a difference?

Havent bothered at all. They give me spots anyway.
Am 50. And not horribly wrinkled.

I've used spf 15 moisturiser since I was 14. I think it's the only thing that actually prevents/slows you getting wrinkles. Can't tell if it's made a difference because I've got nothing to compare it too, but I have quite good skin. I'm going up to spf 30 moisturiser now it's summer

You are mad! But then so was I.

I went through a phase of using anti-aging products at 19 (now 22). Then I realised it was silly and pointless. I saw absolutely no difference.

We're young, surely we don'tneed anti-aging creams yet?! I plan to start taking stringently good care of my skin at 25 (as opposed to my current slapdash attempts) and use serious anti-aging stuff at 30. That seems reasonable.

29, when I started noticing the texture and other things changing with my skin.

I'm very sun sensitive, and get spots with thick creams. I only use the thinner night cream... I have stopped getting as many spots... plus I use such a little bit that the £8 pot should last a while! (I Hope!) [buwink]

the Oil of Olay sensitive moisturiser is not too thick

As I say, spf is the only thing that really protects skin from aging, as so much skin damage is done by the sun
