Cream filler
Over time, the skin loses its former elasticity, becomes less dense, a clear oval of the face gradually disappears. No one is immune from aging, mimic and deep wrinkles overtake imperceptibly and create an aesthetic problem for a modern woman. It is impossible to get rid of wrinkles, but it is quite possible to correct their depth, to suspend the formation thanks to cosmetic procedures and high-quality home care.
Cream-filler will help smooth out wrinkles that have already formed and stop the aging of the dermis due to the features of its action, active ingredients and method of application.
What it is
A filler is also called a “wrinkle filler”, or a substance that penetrates the skin structure and smoothes the dermis from the inside. In modern cosmetology, fillers are used as a subcutaneous injection: the injected composition penetrates into the deep layers of the skin, fills it from the inside with a moisturizing component based on hyaluronic acid, due to which the effect becomes noticeable immediately after the procedure.
Facial fillers instantly smooth the skin, stretch its surface and fill in wrinkles, making the epidermis look perfect, even, and acquire a natural healthy glow.
In the fight against wrinkles, the filler is the most effective tool and the most popular among women aged 40 and older. It has only one minus - the effect of its use is temporary and averages from 2 months to 2 years. The effectiveness of the "work" of the filler is determined by its density, volume and compliance with the drinking regimen of a woman.
Modern cosmetology has taken a step further: cream-fillers have appeared that do not require the introduction of expensive injections under the skin.
Such a cream often contains silicones in the composition to give the effect of smoothness and uniformity of the epidermis, additional components such as retinol to improve the quality and elasticity of the dermis, and vitamins to strengthen.
Properties and effect on the skin
Cream filler appeared on the cosmetic market relatively recently, and not all women are familiar with its work. "Filler" is translated as "fill", and even one word can characterize the principle of the product: the cream filler fills the dermis and corrects wrinkles, the heterogeneity of the epidermis, in a word, hides the signs of aging. Aged skin is capricious in its own way, and such a product has a pronounced effect on moderately elastic skin, the one that retains and maintains the oval of the face, but has wrinkles.
The presence of a certain set of components in the composition of the filler cream has the following effects on the skin:
- Hide age-related changes in the dermis by filling it with active elements;
- Gives skin smoothness and uniformity, fill small mimic wrinkles and make deep, age-related wrinkles less noticeable;
- The filler in the cream prepares the skin for the next step. - applying makeup and moisturizes the dermis well;
- The components of the product have a positive effect on the skin due to the cumulative effect: regular use of a cosmetic filler enhances the regeneration of the dermis - stimulates cell renewal;
- The cream filler will not be able to tighten the nasolabial folds or restore the lost face oval, but it is able to make less pronounced "crow's feet" in the eye area, smooth the surface of the skin of the face as a whole;
- Visually, the cream makes a woman's skin younger, toned, smooth, filled with moisture. and gives confidence to those who use the product regularly;
- It moisturizes the dermis well and, as a rule, “works” in its deep layers.
The smoothing cream has several drawbacks, among which one can note its low efficiency compared to injections: the product does not fill the skin from the inside, it acts only on its surface and causes short-term visual changes. Often the cost of a creamy filler is high, and women remain dissatisfied with the results of its “work” due to high expectations.
No one has canceled allergic reactions to an expensive cream filler, skin incompatibility to certain components in the product, which becomes another reason against a cosmetic cream with a smoothing effect.
Indications and contraindications
Cream filler is recommended for women with age-related skin changes: the appearance of deep and even fine wrinkles, loss of facial contours, the formation of pronounced nasolabial folds and crow's feet in the eye area.
Manufacturers usually mention the age of 40+ on the product packaging, there are also earlier analogues, so it is important to pay attention to the condition of the skin and adequately assess it, to answer the question, does the skin really need a filler.
So, the indications for the use of the filler are:
- The formation of wrinkles of medium and strong depth (evaluate how wrinkles are visible on the face, highly visible and are called deep age-related changes).
- Loss of skin tone and facial contours, the formation of pronounced nasolabial folds.
- Deterioration of elasticity and strength of the dermis.
- The appearance of age-related pigmented formations (pigmented spots have a brown tint).
- Dull shade of the epidermis.
It is worth noting that the cream filler acts on the surface of the skin and very little product penetrates into its deeper layers. The cream is indicated for use after cosmetic procedures to enhance the effect and restore the skin, as it is able to enhance cell regeneration.
Among the contraindications are the following:
- Intolerance to certain components of the cream;
- Allergic reactions to the composition;
- Pregnancy and lactation;
- Diseases of the dermis and neoplasms on the face.
Note that before applying the cream-filler on the face, it is worth testing for an allergic reaction: apply a little product to the bend of the elbow and look at the effect after 5-10 minutes. If there is no redness and itching, the cream can be safely applied to the face.
Compound
Among the components of the filler cream, hyaluronic acid is usually in the first place, which is produced by the body naturally, but due to the aging of the latter, the production of “hyaluronic acid” is gradually suspended.
Hyaluronic filler penetrates into the deep layers of the dermis, filling them with moisturizing ingredients and moisture, which the skin begins to accumulate later.
Hyaluronic acid is a frequent guest of cosmetic filler creams. It is as close as possible to the natural component in the dermis, is well absorbed, perfectly moisturizes, normalizes water balance, and practically does not cause irritation. This component is found not only in anti-aging products, but also in formulations for relatively young skin - 25+.
The next filling component is known as collagen., it is often found in combination with "hyaluron" and is produced by our skin naturally. The lack of natural collagen leads to thinning of the dermis and loss of tone, the face oval is deformed, wrinkles appear. Collagen in the filler cream fills these depressions - wrinkles.
Elastin also plays a role in the appearance of the skin and is responsible for the elasticity of the dermis. It has a cumulative effect and is indispensable for anti-aging care. Often found in cream fillers silicone - it gives the skin surface uniformity, fills wrinkles well and smoothes the surface, but gives a short-term effect - until the first wash.
Application rules
The use of a cream filler should be started with visible age-related changes and not earlier than the age of 30 years. If you start using such a product regularly, the skin will stop producing collagen and elastin in a natural way and will begin to “lazy”, due to which the aging process will increase its speed.
Apply cream-filler to pre-cleansed skin; if the product is based on hyaluronic acid, manufacturers recommend leaving the epidermis slightly moist and applying the product on top for better absorption of the components of the composition. Hyaluronic cream-filler is recommended to be applied 1 hour before leaving the house in the warm season and no later than 1.5 hours in case of a cold period: hyaluronic acid molecules crystallize at low temperatures, in a word, acquire a solid form and do not moisturize the skin.

Filler creams are spoken positively as high-quality and affordable anti-aging care. The disadvantages of women's products are their short cosmetic effect, the inability to instantly tighten and smooth the surface of the skin.
The cream filler has a positive effect with the constant use of expensive products - cheap ones work worse, Russian women answer.
