How to Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Apr 18, 2026

Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of ageing, but they can be significantly reduced with the right skincare approach. The key is understanding what causes them and which ingredients have the strongest evidence behind them.

What Causes Fine Lines and Wrinkles?

Wrinkles form when the skin loses collagen and elastin — the proteins that keep it firm and supple. This happens gradually with age, but is accelerated by UV exposure, repeated facial expressions, dehydration, and environmental stress.

Which Ingredients Help?

Retinol — the gold standard in anti-ageing. It accelerates cell turnover, stimulates collagen, and visibly smooths fine lines with consistent use
Argireline Peptide — helps relax expression lines, reducing their depth over time
Matrixyl 3000 — signals the skin to produce more collagen, improving firmness
Hyaluronic Acid — plumps fine lines by drawing moisture into the skin
SPF 50 — the most important anti-ageing step. UV damage is the leading cause of premature ageing

A Simple Anti-Ageing Routine

Morning: Peptide serum → moisturiser → SPF 50
Evening: Retinol serum → moisturiser

Start retinol 2–3 times per week and build up gradually. Always use SPF the following morning.

When Will You See Results?

Most people notice smoother texture within 4 to 6 weeks. Visible reduction in fine lines typically takes 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use.

This is not a miracle product, my skin gone lighter

Absolutely love this serum! After a few weeks, my skin has gone noticeably lighter and more even. Dark spots have faded and my face looks brighter overall. Lightweight, no irritation—definitely buying again!

I confess this is my first interaction with the brand "Ammuri". I was unfamiliar with them but in the time between ordering this and having it delivered I looked into the company a little more. Turns out they have an extensive range. This specific product is a face serum and creams, 'Exosome Hydro-Glow Complex' that is suitable for all skin types and aims to hydrate your skin.

The serum arrives boxed but inside the box it is in a plastic bottle with a cap that pulls all the way off (as opposed to being on a hinge for example). The serum dispenses nicely from a push-down nozzle. The serum itself is a yellow-ish or off-white colour. The cream goes on like butter - minus the greasiness!

I must say that this has turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me. One thing is for sure and that is that "The INKEY List" is now well and truly on my radar! I haven't had it for a super long time but after my first uses my first impressions are good. My skin feels hydrated after every use. This is a quality product as far as I am concerned and I am more than happy to give a five star review.

Ammuri delivers on this affordable exosome cream and serum that works! I will be a repeat buyer as I can already see skin improvement in just a few weeks. If you're on the fence, this is a great no no-irritation product at a great price point - buy! You won't regret it

Noticeable improvement to my skin. I use Calecim serum but its �85 per 5ml so wanted to try an everyday product on the same basic principles and this works a treat.

Best exosome Cream on the market

A great, affordable exosome Cream on the market. Ive gone through two bottles now and absolutely love the effect it has on my skin. I use exosomes to support skin recovery after treatments, and this one has become a favourite.
Im not the biggest fan of the pump its a bit firm and can be tricky to get the product out but the bottle size is generous, so it lasts well. The serum itself is gorgeous: not sticky, absorbs quickly, and works beautifully with my oily, breakout?prone skin. It keeps me hydrated without feeling heavy, and I genuinely miss it from my routine when I run out.
A must?have for me.
