Hi back, FYI my friend who has been a beautician for half a decade and has specialised on "older" skin, also treating some well known actresses, has never heard of the term "Feuchtigkeitsfalten". But she says that they are probably due to "lack of moisture". I did not read the whole article but as it from South Africa, I presumed that they speak proper English

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Edith - Thanks for the response - I appreciate your input. It is indeed about glycolic peels. However the website you quote is not in correct English and therefore not very useful. Example: "you can help on the following skin conditions" (help on is not idiomatic) also "Dry, skin poor of moisture" is not correct English. The term: "moisture wrinkles" is literal but I have never found ti used in English and it is completely counter-intuitive - the wrinkles are not due to moisture, on the contrary! I think it is just a really poor term choice in the German in the first place and therefore it is almost impossible to get a good term choice in English. Thanks again though for offering what you found.
