I'd check out this product.
There are also some good ones at L'Occitane, but someone else with some more expertise will have to give you specific advice of their products.
Finally, the QED French Green Clay is a great detoxifier for the skin as all around maintenance it does a wonderful job tightening and cleanses at the same time. And you look really cool as Mark demonstrates, here.

Maybe we should just have a sticky at the top of this forum that reads "Just Buy Qedman French Green Clay."

It would save all of us a lot of time constantly recommending it.

Try Truefitt & Hill Advanced Facial Moisturizer. It is awesome. Goes on light. A little goes a long way. Definitely erases fine lines and evens out skin tone.

Check with a reputable dermatologist and have a discussion with them. You may want to ask their input on a class of prescription products called retinoids. Many are prescribed for acne, but some are indicated for fine lines, etc. However, in the US, insurance will not pay for a prescription for fine lines; they consider this cosmetic and will not reimburse.

Yea the review on this site seemed good.

Do you think using green clay in one's 20's will help prevent wrinkles?

Minimizing sun exposure and using sunscreen on a regular basis will go a long way towards slowing the occurrence of wrinkles in one's 20's, but to my knowledge wrinkles can't be prevented. Although what you do or don't do in your 20's may not show up until later. Just my .02

Slowed down is a better term. You see a lot of people getting their first wrinkles in their 50's-60's.

Agree with the above regarding retinoids. They are derivatives of vitamin A and will increase collagen in the skin. An over-the-counter version is retinol, found in a variety of 'anti-aging / wrinkle' creams. RoC is a reputable brand. Prescription retinoids are more potent. Retin-A, Renova, Tretin-X, Differin, Tazorac etc are all examples. If you opt to use a retinoid, use only a little bit (pea-sized for whole face) before bed and use a very gentle facial cleanser like Cetaphil. Of course, sunscreen and excess sun avoidance is very important to prevent wrinkles. Olay makes a great facial moisturizer with zinc oxide sunscreen, which would be a good choice in the morning.
