People Say

★4.1Overall rating based on 1.2k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, this cream is highly effective for mature and thinning skin, with users frequently reporting significant reduction in deep wrinkles and improved skin texture, leading to a plumper, firmer appearance. It is also noted for providing deep hydration. However, a considerable number of users express concerns about the high price point, and some find the texture and finish of the reformulated product less desirable than the original, with occasional complaints about packaging and scent.

Questions and answers

Why does Lovi advise against SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter for oily acne-prone skin?

SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin because it contains heavy ingredients that are likely to clog pores and trigger breakouts. Oily and acne-prone skin needs lightweight treatments with ingredients like niacinamide, propolis, benzoyl peroxide, or Vitamin C to control excess oil and clear blemishes safely.

Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for oily acne-prone skin?

This cream is a poor fit for oily acne-prone skin because its heavy, rich texture and certain ingredients may clog pores and trigger breakouts. A product for this skin needs light ingredients that control excess oil and soothe acne without feeling heavy.

What does Proxylane do for oily acne-prone skin?

Proxylane is generally not targeted for oily, acne-prone skin, as it is primarily designed to help with firmness and lines rather than breakouts. A product of this type for this skin needs oil-balancing and pore-clearing ingredients to keep skin clear while addressing any dryness.

Where does it go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin?

This treatment is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin, so Lovi advises against using it in your routine. Oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-greasy hydrators and blemish-clearing ingredients like niacinamide instead of rich, heavy creams.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020

Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin, so using it with retinol may easily overload your skin and trigger breakouts. If you still choose to combine them, apply your retinol first on clean skin and follow with this treatment once it has fully absorbed.

How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin, so Lovi advises against using it. Oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-clogging products with oil-controlling and clarifying ingredients instead.

Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin?

This cream is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin and may clog pores or cause breakouts because it contains heavy ingredients like dimethicone, synthetic wax, and petrolatum-like derivatives. A product for this skin needs to be lightweight, oil-free, and non-clogging with ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to help keep pores clear.

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum and coumarin).
