A BEAUTY guru has revealed the budget-friendly skincare routine that helped them defy the signs of ageing.
They touted the fact that a drugstore product was more effective than prescription anti-aging treatments.
The skincare recommendation was shared on Reddit’s 30 PlusSkinCare forum after a user in her late 30s asked for advice.
They complained of having expression lines and “paper-wrinkled skin” despite regularly using Nivea moisturizer and eye cream.
Editor u/2rhinosin1yr_need3rd responded with the affordable products they trust for a youthful appearance.
“A retinol product applied at night is the only product that reduces wrinkles and fine lines, followed religiously by daytime sunscreen and hats or umbrellas for additional sun protection,” they said.

One shopper said her face felt “nice and hydrated,” while another said her fine lines diminished “a few weeks” after trying the product.
The Olay product contains retinol and peptides, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and brighten the skin.
The Redditor’s recommendation comes after a study published by Journal of Investigative Dermatology in 2019 found that retinol improved the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and neck in eight weeks.
Participants in a previous study published by Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology saw a “significant reduction” in wrinkles after using retinol for 12 weeks.
Retinol is a type of retinoid derived from vitamin A.
It can be used to treat signs of aging, uneven skin texture, acne and hyperpigmentation, according to Health line.
