Wrinkle Creams-What To Look For
Walking down the skin care aisle of the local drug store, one would notice numerous wrinkle cream products. Are the benefits touted by these cream manufacturers just marketing tactics? Are some of these wrinkle creams better than others?
When comparing the ingredients and researching what they do, we found interesting results. We have found that there is a difference in products and we also found that some ingredients work better than others.
Below is a list of the top six ingredients we found in the best wrinkle creams. All relate to age defiance. This information will ultimately assist consumers in purchasing wrinkle products by empowering consumers with the knowledge to see the genuine from the gimmick.
Retinol: A type of Vitamin A that has been proven to aid in the fading of wrinkles. This has been in wrinkle creams for years, even in the newest products. Retinol neutralizes particles called 'free radicals: that break down your skin and cause it to lose elasticity.
Coenzyme Q10: this is a naturally occurring type of enzyme. It acts like a 'food' for cells, helping them regulate their production of energy. Studies have shown that it can relax those tiny lines around your eyes by helping make the skin cells around your eyes more healthy.
Tea extract: this is one of the newest ingredients in wrinkle creams. Just like drinking tea provides you with antioxidants that help promote whole-body health, give you energy, and turn back the clock of aging, so too does using tea on your skin. Tea extracts also help reduce the inflammation that causes skin damage over time.
Alpha hydroxy: this is a mild acid that comes from fruit. It helps to strip away the very top-most layer of your skin (exfoliation) and therefore reveal the healthy beautiful skin underneath it. Exfoliation is great for our skin when we do it periodically, because it helps promote the growth of healthy skin and the removal of dead skin.
Copper Peptide: This nutrient is required by our body to stay healthy. Copper particles aid in the healing and regeneration of our skin. Environmental conditions, such as the Sun, can damage our skin and speed up aging. Copper particles help to heal from this damage.
Kinetin: this is a natural substance that helps make living things grow. It helps with wrinkles and brown spots on the skin. Scientists believe that it works by making our skin and the collagen underneath it grow more quickly, therefore healing it and evening out wrinkles and age spots.
