 Sorry, they cannot. Sunscreens and prudent skin care may prevent wrinkles. These topicals would have to penetrate the skin in order to really help with wrinkles and none of them have this capability. It would be better to use a good sunscreen and a potent antioxidant to help prevent wrinkles... more

 The fine lines and wrinkles come from the loss of elasticity and fat loss. the best treatment to prevent fine lines is good nutrition ,sun screen and retina.
