It's not difficult to imagine what the effects of wrinkle cream is. They are supposed to remove wrinkles. But do they really do this? Have there ever been comparative tests ran on this subject? Everybody's skin is different, and the effects of wrinkle cream, being used on a person, tend to only become visible after a long period of time. So it's not so easy to find out which cream is the best for you, which one does what it promises to do, and which ones are merely false advertising.
If you are really concerned about your wrinkles, it is best to see a professional beautician. With so many different products with so many different ingredients, it is a given that some of the ingredients in different quantities do the job at varying levels of satisfaction. Some ingredients don't work at all while others are proven time and time again to work. Depending on your age and your skin type, you will be informed which products work best for you.
Check out the list of active ingredients that are in wrinkle creams of today's markets:
retinol: Vitamin A compound which is the most commonly used for years that have been proven to work. While it is less potent than most, due to its risks of increasing chance of birth defects, it should not be used during pregnancy or trying to get pregnant.
Hydroxy acids: Exfoliants that are used to remove the upper layer of dead skin for growth of smooth new skin. Must be used along with a sunscreen if you are exposed to sun long periods of time due to vulnerability of your skin without the top layer.
Coenzyme Q10: This is a nutrient that helps regulate energy production in cells. This means that the cells will be more prone to self-repair. There don't seen to be any side-effects to using this product, and it has been proven to work, but it may be less potent than other anti aging skin care solutions.
Copper peptides: Copper can be found in every cell in the human body. It is combined with a small protein frament, which we call a peptide. These framents regulate wound healing, and as such should help repair damaged skin - whether the damage be caused by wounds or simply by the wear and tear of becoming more mature.
Kinetin: This is a product which helps plants grow. It hasn't been made entirely clear how exactly this product works, but studies indicate that it helps reduce wrinkles by helping your skin retain moisture - hereby stimulating the production of collagen. This is a relatively new product.
Tea extracts: An old method, but one which has been proven to work, and which is used most often in wrinkle creams. There are not side-effects, or things to look out for, in using this product.
Always use any product in moderation. Do not overload your skin with different products and ingredients.
