I get it, forehead wrinkles—while very normal—can be annoying. Most of us start to notice them in our mid-to-late 20s (again, totally normal) as a result of repetitive movements and collagen breakdown, but the good news is that there are a ton of different ways (including anti-aging face serums and creams, Botox injections, and lasers) to smooth existing forehead wrinkles and even help prevent forehead wrinkles from appearing in the first place. So if you’re not into your forehead resembling a sheet of loose leaf, you’re in the right place.

As we age (and you make those same expressions for years and years), those wrinkles become deeper and more pronounced when your face is at rest. Are forehead wrinkles reversible?

We’ve been hearing for years that Vitamin C is the best anti-aging ingredient. It’s a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. When applying, first cleanse, tone, and exfoliate your face. (Only do all three of these steps if they’re included in your current skin care routine.)

It can also lighten areas of pigmentation and improve both the texture and tone of the skin as referenced in our Predire Paris review article. In addition, retinol reverses sun damage like brown spots. A review published in Clinical Interventions in Aging looked at the studies on retinol that exist so far, and they specifically focused on the anti-aging impact on the skin. Niacinamide Usually, the gold standard of anti-aging products –retinols and alpha hydroxy acids — cannot be combined in the same product as they would irritate the skin.
