“Tim Expert Rides Global Cream Wrinkles Soft”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains decapeptide-22.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-30, acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl decapeptide-21, pentapeptide-18, zinc palmitoyl nonapeptide-14.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

“Tim Expert Rides Global Cream Wrinkles Soft”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, hydrolyzed wheat protein.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethiconol, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-30, acetyl hexapeptide-8, ceramide np, decapeptide-22, palmitoyl decapeptide-21, pentapeptide-18, zinc palmitoyl nonapeptide-14

Product summary
"Germaine de Capuccini - TimExpert Rides Global Cream Wrinkles Soft" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Germaine de Capuccini - TimExpert Rides Global Cream Wrinkles Soft ticks this box. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, glycerin, hydrolyzed wheat protein and caprylyl glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Ceramide np, dimethiconol, squalane, cetyl alcohol and cyclopentasiloxane in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
Ingredient callouts
- As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide np 0.70% - 1.00%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (pentapeptide-18 0.25% - 0.45%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.25% - 0.50%, acetyl hexapeptide-30 0.30% - 0.55%, palmitoyl decapeptide-21 0.35% - 0.60%, zinc palmitoyl nonapeptide-14 0.40% - 0.65% and decapeptide-22 0.40% - 0.60%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
