Wrinkle Cream Ingredients that Really Work

When shopping for anti-aging products and wrinkle creams, you cannot just buy the cheapest product on the shelf and expect it to work as well on your skin as the top name brand products. What is the difference? Some products have certain ingredients that have been proven to aid in the improvement of skin in various ways.

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 enzyme, natural, not manufactured, acts as a food for skin cells, aiding in the regulation of their energy production. Studies show it relaxes the small lines around the eyes by making the skin cells healthier.

Tea Extract: Drinking tea provides antioxidants to our bodies, which promotes energy and health. Tea extract does this to skin when directly applied, reducing the inflammation that causes skin damage.

Alpha Hydroxy: This is an acid used in exfoliation products, stripping the very top layer of dead skin to reveal more fresh, lively looking skin. Exfoliation is a great process to perform periodically. It keeps facial skin looking fresh and new.

Copper peptide: this is an essential nutrient that our bodies need to be healthy. Copper particles are especially great for our skin because they increase the speed at which it heals from wounds. Over time, tiny invisible wounds caused by environmental conditions damage our skin and speed its aging, since it is never able to heal properly.

Kinetin: This substance comes from a plant hormone that promotes cell division. Kinetin is used in wrinkle creams to fade wrinkles and brown spots. Scientists say it makes skin and collagen grow quickly, healing and smoothing wrinkles by increased cell growth, filling in the ‘valleys’.
