Is there a limit to relying solely on firming cream?

I have been consistently applying firming cream, but honestly, I'm not sure if my facial contours or sagging are changing much.

It feels like the skin becomes moisturized when applied, but it seems difficult to expect a lifting effect.

So I'm considering trying dermatological treatments as well. Should I consider creams and procedures to have different roles? For those of you who have been doing elasticity treatments for a long time, what combination did you find best?
