Top Six Wrinkle Cream Ingredients
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.
We have put together the top six ingredients found in wrinkle creams. These top six ingredients have been shown to fade wrinkles and reverse aging lines. The list below helps consumers understand the difference between all the products today that are supposed to give the same results.
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: The extracts provide antioxidants directly to the local area of the skin for which it is applied. Tea extract has been shown to sooth inflammation that cause long term skin damage.
Alpha Hydroxy: Originating from fruit, this mild acid helps strip away the outer layer of skin, called exfoliation, revealing the smooth fresh skin underneath. This method is great for our skin when done periodically. By removing dead layers of skin, new skin growth is promoted.
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: existing naturally in all living things for growth, this substance is great for focusing on brown spots and wrinkles on the skin. Scientists believe that Kinetin promotes collagen growth and increases the speed of growth, healing and evening out wrinkles and age spots.
