There's more to skin than collagen.

Red light therapy?
I don't know info about that one. I heard others be happy about it, likely it needs to be in the list as well. Nearly everyting is above retinol.

There gotta be a post about callogen, and where this one fits in on callogen effect.

Yes, you can get retinol in any number of creams and serums. Usually in a max strength of 2% without a prescription. Tretinoin (Retin A) is available on prescription but there are places online you can get it- although I wouldn't recommend.
 
Well my skin is oily and I look significally younger than my age, i am 23 so what you recomend? Atm im doing BP 5% and this shit its not doing anything, i have clear skin in summer and a few breakouts in winter.

Just took a quick look at the ingredients. I don't see any retinol but please, correct me if I'm wrong! Other than that, seems like it would be hydrating and moisturising but honestly overpriced for just that.

What’s a good retinol cream to maintain good skin and prevent wrinkles from forming?

You think at 21 if I do a lot of skincare prevention now I can prevent wrinkles or delay them to an extent?
 
Well people say those retinols are waste of time and that only tretinol/retin a does anything.

Honestly, at 21 you don't need to be using any retinoids. However, if you're really wanting to get on the wagon early, what kind of skin do you have otherwise? How oily or dry are you? Would you be wanting it as a separate serum or included in a moisturiser?
Obviously the majority of ageing is down to genetics, however, if you continue to look after yourself and your skin, you absolutely will be able to make a difference, yes.

Those people are wrong. Sorry. Retinol is the ingredient that we have the most evidence to support efficacy when it comes to ageing. Using tretinoin as an anti ageing ingredient is much newer and much less supported in terms of literature.

Trying to prevent wrinkles before they happen

Think you could probably use cleanser, a good moisturizer for your skin and maybe vit C and retinol.

I'm not sure where you're based?
Maybe try something along the lines of the Indeed Labs Retinol Reface or the Peter Thomas Roth Retinol Fusion PM? If you're dry and looking for something a little stronger then the Jordan Samuel Retinol Facial Oil could be a good option?

You've got a 2.5% retinol? I assume it's prescription?
I ve bought this in sale


NUOVA Crema Viso Antirughe per Uomo e Donna con Retinolo e Acido Ialuronico Puro per un Effetto Anti Age GARANTITO. Eletta Miglior Crema Idratante Viso per Contorno Occhi, Collo e Decolletè (50ml) Amazon product ASIN B077YKDPXG

But useles
 
Dermarolling, vitamin C, red light therapy, sunscreen

I agree, it's efficiency is limited.
Collagen wise, tretinoin/retin-a is so much better. Luckily I managed to get online without prescription.

Sunblock is also legit for Collagen by the way. Still lower then retin-a I think.
 
Retin-A works to preserve/boost collagen production as long as you aren't me
 
Retin-A non responders are actually a thing?

I'm honestly not sure. With how everyone keeps telling me that it only seems to be making me look older, I kind of think so
