At what age should you start using and which products would you use. I.E. containing retinol, q10, etc.

Hmm… well, in my opinion, the best "ant-wrinkle" cream/lotion/serum, etc. out there is either sunscreen or sunblock. That’d be number one. Second would be a Vitamin C serum (L-Ascorbic Acid) and third would be a Vitamin E lotion/oil/cream, etc. << Antioxidants that protect against free radical damage.
The thing with retinol is, it makes your skin super sensitive to the sun and thus, not only would you also have to wear sunscreen/sunblock everyday but if you don’t or forget to reapply your sunscreen/sunblock, you’ll just be causing more damage to your very sun-sensitive skin.
All in all, however, I don’t think it is ever too young to use products to protect your skin (and thus, protect against premature wrinkles and skin aging). Depending on your age, if you’re in your teens or early to late twenties, I’d say Vitamin C, E, and sunscreen/sunblock is the best thing to use. Retinol would come in, in my opinion, in mid-forties to so on after. And about q10 … hmmm… well, I’m really not convinced with q10.

earlier is probably better
16 is too early
The bests things you can do for your skin are:
1. don’t smoke or frequent places where lots of other people smoke.
2. Stay out of the sun as much as possible, and when not possible, use a hat and/or sunscreen.
3. Drink lots of water.
The wrinkles will come no matter what you do.
Never too early to start. I’ve been using stuff like that since I was 10, literally! Avon has some products like that, it’s in their Anew line, they have microdermabrasion, stuff for wrinkles, etc. I use a lot of them, but for the microdermabraison I buy Oil of Olay at Wal-Mart, I like it the best. But I suggest try Avon Anew products there awesome!
It’s never too early. That’s why its called anti-wrinkle…if you wait to get wrinkles, its too late!
