What cream is best used on young skin? My doughter is 17 and sometimes uses my anti-wrinkle cream. Is it ok to use such cream on so young skin?

I think nothing can be wrong if she uses your cream. Though anti-wrinkle creams wich have specific ingredients will not be so beneficial for her skin, because her skin is too young to be lacking those ingredients.
However, nothing could go wrong.
It is better, of course if buys herself cream that would be best on her skin. She can also use anti-wrinkle cream, but especially created for younger skin.

i think your anti-age cream might be too 'heavy' for her young skin. if i use my mother's cream, my face (esp forehead) is all oily for next few days. however, her cream is designed for 50 and more.
there is definitely difference - older women need different ingredient in their creams and their skin lacks different substances than the skin of young women. For this reason- there is nothing wrong if younger woman uses anti-wrinkle cream, as long as this cream suits her skin.
