Are our creams for men moisturizing, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle..., or “Anti-Stress” as we say in Homo Naturals?

In principle, a moisturizer is not the same as an anti-wrinkle cream.

As a general rule, we could say that the function of a moisturizing cream is to prevent wrinkles from appearing and that the function of a wrinkle cream is to treat wrinkles that have already appeared.
