Would anyone know if any of these ingredients are too drying for the skin?
Water, disodium lauroamphodiacetate, limnanthes alba (meadowfoam) seed oil, coco-glucoside, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, aniba rosaeodora (rosewood) wood oil, geranium maculatum oil, guaiacum officinale, cymbopogon martini oil, rosa damascena extract, amyris balsamifera bark oil, santalum album (sandalwood) oil, salvia officinalis (sage) oil, cinnamomum cassia leaf oil, anthemis nobilis flower oil, daucus carota sativa (carrot) seed oil, piper nigrum (black pepper) seed extract, sodium trideceth sulfate, hexylene glycol, cocos nucifera (coconut) alcohol, polysorbate 20, glycerin, carbomer, triethanolamine, methylparaben, propylparaben, imidazolidinyl urea, fd&c yellow no.5
These are the ingredients from the Philosophy Purity cleanser which I had been using for almost 2 weeks and I did not have any wrinkles on my skin, but have noticed some have appeared, some fine ones and some deeper ones too! I'm bummed about this because it was helping with my acne...is there a chance if I used a great moisturizer after washing with this, that I could still use this cleanser or it sounds like it might damage my collagen.
I'm quite positive the wrinkles occurred from this cleanser because it did feel drying. I'm not sure what I should do to fix the damage this cleanser did, even though it's slight, it's freaking me out so any advice on what I can do to help with the damage done...any amazing moisturizer recommendations or anything? |

| You can't create a wrinkle in two weeks. A dehydration line maybe, but not a wrinkle. Something in that paraben-laden formulation is doing more harm than good, but it's repairable. Have you tried retin-a? |

| I agree, you can't create a wrinkle in two weeks. It's just probably drying you out. I had something similar occur with a cleanser I was using - it must have been way too harsh. Everything was fine once I stopped using it. |

I haven't tried retin a, it sort of scares me. I have used olay products with a form or retin a in it before though. I am not currently using it though. Should I go ahead and try it out for these wrinkles? I stopped the cleanser almost a week ago now, have been moisturizing with a petrolatum based moisturizer, have not seen a change yet... |

I stopped the cleanser almost a week ago and the wrinkles are still there. How long did it take for yours to go away once stopping? |

Are you drinking enough water? I do agree with the others that it sounds like your skin is dehydrated. So are you using a moisturizer that is also hydrating? |

Hi Debb3485, I'm drinking the same amount of water I've always been drinking for years, but I don't drink too much water like some people do since my job doesn't give me time to use the bathroom much. I'm currently using a moisturizer with petrolatum as the main base, it's basically like Vaseline in consistency. I honestly am not educated enough on skincare and moisturizers, do you have recommendations for hydrating moisturizers or recommendations for hydrating ingredients to look for in moisturizers? |

I'm not as knowledgeable as a lot of the other ladies that post on here but the two ingredients that come to mind are hyaluronic acid & glycerin. Vaseline is a good moisturizer & probably helps for barrier repair but it isn't hydrating meaning it does not put water back into the skin which hyraluronic acid & glycerin do. Hyluronic acid can pull 1000 times its weight in water into your skin. That's why it is a great hydrating ingredient. Glycerin is a humectrant so it pulls moisture (water) from the air into your skin. Many people will disagree that vaseline is a good moisturizer because it is made from petroleum however my derm who is one of the top dermatologists in the Washington, DC area told me that it was still one of the best moisturizers out there and to use it on my hands and cuticles which are terribly dry. So it would be the last item to go on your skin since nothing else could penetrate it most likely. But for face I like to use products with a lot of "actives" in it. Vitamin c serum and a retin A product are standards in my skin care routine. I buy many creams and serums from Skinactives. I use their Antioxident day cream & revitalizing night cream to name a few. Check their ingredients lists. Skinactives offers sample sizes for about $6. |
