Ekseption Skincare for Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Ekseption Skincare for wrinkles and fine lines

Wrinkles gradually develop as the skin produces less collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and natural lipids. As a result, it becomes thinner, drier and less resilient. Fine lines often become visible first around the eyes, mouth and forehead.

In addition to natural skin ageing, sun exposure, facial expressions, pollution, smoking, stress and dehydration influence wrinkle formation. A complete skincare routine should therefore focus on renewal as well as hydration, protection and barrier support.

What is the difference between dehydration lines and wrinkles?

Dehydration lines are mainly caused by insufficient moisture. They are generally superficial and may become less visible when the skin is properly hydrated.

Wrinkles develop deeper within the skin as collagen, elastin and volume decrease. Skincare can soften their appearance and make them less noticeable but cannot completely remove deep wrinkles.

Important ingredients for wrinkles

• Retinol supports skin renewal and helps wrinkles and rough texture appear less visible.
• Peptides support a firmer, smoother and more resilient complexion.
• Hyaluronic acid binds moisture and temporarily plumps dehydration lines.
• Antioxidants help protect against free radicals and premature ageing.
• AHAs, PHAs and enzymes remove dead skin cells and refine texture.
• Caring lipids support the skin barrier and limit moisture loss.

Which Ekseption products suit wrinkles?

Super Retinol Fluid

An intensive serum containing retinol and bakuchiol for wrinkles, uneven texture and irregular-looking skin tone. Begin with two evenings per week and only increase the frequency if the skin does not become dry, red or sensitive.

Hyaluronic Peptides Mixlab Serum

A hydrating peptide serum for fine lines, loss of firmness and mature skin. Suitable for daily use and easy to combine with a maintenance cream.

Hyaluronic Copper Peptides Mixlab Serum

A hydrating serum containing copper peptides. It supports a smoother, revitalised and firmer-looking complexion and suits skin affected by wrinkles and dehydration.

Age-Less Cocoon

A caring cream for normal to dry skin with visible signs of ageing. It helps keep the skin hydrated, supple and comfortable.

Ice Cream Lift

A nourishing night cream for dry, sensitive and mature skin. Suitable when wrinkles occur alongside dryness, loss of firmness and reduced elasticity.

Ice Cream Repair

A rich restorative night cream containing retinol, amino acids and a caring repair complex. Because Ice Cream Repair already contains retinol, an additional retinol serum is unnecessary.

Caviar Repair

A nourishing repair cream containing caviar extract, vitamin E, amino acids and retinol. Suitable for normal to dry and mature skin. Do not use it in the same evening routine as Super Retinol Fluid.

Ultim-Eyes Cream

A dedicated age-supporting eye cream for fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Do not apply regular retinol products, activators or strong peels to the eye contour.

Enzyme Powder Cleanse & Peel

A cleansing powder containing papaya enzymes with gentle exfoliating action. It helps remove accumulated skin cells and makes the skin appear smoother and fresher.

All Day Shield SPF 50

Daily sun protection helps limit further UV-related skin ageing. SPF 50 is essential when using retinol, activators, vitamin C or exfoliating acids.

Morning routine for wrinkles

1. Cleanse with a gentle Ekseption cleanser.
2. Apply Hyaluronic Peptides, Hyaluronic Copper Peptides or Hyaluronic Vitamin C.
3. Use Ultim-Eyes Cream around the eyes.
4. Apply Age-Less Cocoon or another suitable maintenance cream.
5. Finish with All Day Shield SPF 50.

Evening routine without retinol

1. Remove make-up and sunscreen.
2. Cleanse the skin gently.
3. Apply Hyaluronic Peptides or Hyaluronic Copper Peptides.
4. Use Ultim-Eyes Cream around the eyes.
5. Finish with Ice Cream Lift or Age-Less Cocoon.

Evening routine with retinol

Choose one of the following options:

• Super Retinol Fluid with a simple hydrating moisturiser.
• Ice Cream Repair without an additional retinol serum.
• Caviar Repair without an additional retinol serum.

Begin with two retinol evenings per week. If well tolerated, gradually increase to three or four evenings. Daily use is neither necessary nor suitable for every skin type.

Which products combine well?

• Hyaluronic Peptides with Age-Less Cocoon or Ice Cream Lift.
• Hyaluronic Copper Peptides with a hydrating maintenance cream.
• Hyaluronic Vitamin C in the morning with moisturiser and SPF 50.
• Super Retinol Fluid with a simple cream without acids or retinol.
• Ultim-Eyes Cream as dedicated eye-contour care.
• Post-Peel Glacier Mask during a restorative and hydrating evening.

Which combinations should be avoided?

Do not combine the following in the same evening routine:

• Super Retinol Fluid with Ice Cream Repair.
• Super Retinol Fluid with Caviar Repair.
• Retinol with Ferulic, PHA, Caviar or Pure Skin Activator.
• Retinol with Super Salicylic Fluid.
• Retinol with Triple Acid Peeling Mask.
• An activator with an intensive peel.
• Enzyme Powder Cleanse & Peel with several exfoliating acids.

Alternate active evenings with recovery evenings. Temporarily stop retinol and exfoliants if the skin becomes sore, red, flaky or highly sensitive.

Important tips for wrinkles

• Apply a sufficient amount of SPF 50 every morning.
• Hydrate the skin daily.
• Introduce one active product at a time.
• Do not apply retinol to the eyelids or directly around the eyes.
• Expect gradual results with consistent use.
• Avoid smoking and protect the skin against excessive sun exposure.

Retinoids are generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult a medical professional if you are unsure.

What can you expect from wrinkle skincare?

Skincare can hydrate the skin and make fine lines, wrinkles and loss of firmness appear less visible. The skin may look smoother, more supple and refreshed. Cosmetic products cannot completely remove deep wrinkles or significant skin laxity.
