Is 16 too early to use anti-aging face products?

Hi everyone!
I'm 16 and have a few wrinkles on my forehead and smile lines, and my skin went from oily to dry. So I was wondering if it was too soon for me to start using like anti-aging, deep moisturizing products from Olay?

Also, what are good Olay face products? Face wash and moisturizer wise

I don't know that it's ever to early. I think it's personal preference. I'm 28 and started using anti aging products at 25.

Right now, a broad spectrum sunscreen, Vitamin C and a great moisturizer are all your skin needs, in my view. These will keep you healthy, bright and hydrated while helping to protect you from photoaging and skin cancer.
At your age, I did use Sweet Almond Oil, but I worked on prevention and protection. That's the main focus and better than anything labeled "anti-aging." It is great to see you taking care of your skin, but don't stress. :)

Avoid heavy chemical items and you should be fine.

If your skin is dehydrated or becoming dry, you're likely just seeing the natural creases in your face (around your mouth from smiling, in the forehead from making expressions). I would focus more on prevention than treatment. Good skincare (definitely sunscreen and moisturizer) is really all you need at this point. I'd recommend something with hyaluronic acid, it'll plump up those areas pretty well.

The girls above are correct. And it's definitely not too early in my opinion! My mother started using anti-aging products at 15-16. She's 44 now and get mistaken to be in her early - mid 30s! :) It just depends on you Love, and what you feel is best for your skin. Xx

I think it is very important to note that anti-aging products back in the day were not the potent, chemical compounds we see in over the counter products like today. The Olay of 20 years ago is absolutely in no way even remotely similar to the Olay line today.
So when we look to those who have amazing skin, lifestyle and prevention, such as miisturizing, cleansing, toning, and protecting skin is truly where the results are going to show. So yes, skin health is extremely important, but as so many have repeatedly expressed, there are simple steps you can take to look your very best today and tomorrow, but steer clear of "anti-aging" products of today at such a young age. They aren't formulated for such young skin. Lots of great advice from fellow members. Best of luck to you.

I would not use anti aging products because they are probably too heavy and intense. Instead, use a moisturizer with SPF 20+ and apply it throughout the day to protect your skin.

It's probably hereditary and not "aging" unless you're contantly laying in the sun. I agree with Rozberry, a vitamin c serum and sunscreen will protect your skin and a moisterizing eye & face cream will help keep your skin hydrated and looking & feeling healthy. And of course stay out of the sun. Wear a hat and always wear sunglasses if you are going to be out in the sun for extended periods of time.

Yes bc you aren't suppose to be aging at the age and your skin is still young and very sensitive
