Wrinkle creams today offer many benefits thanks to advances in anti-aging skin care research. With a few nuggets of information about what makes a wrinkle cream effective, picking the right wrinkle cream does not have to be a daunting task. The key is to know which ingredients to look for that give a wrinkle cream its anti-aging effects. Some of the ingredients to look for include:
Acetyl hexapeptide-3. Acetyl hexapeptide-3 is considered one of the best anti aging ingredients next to Outline toxin because it relaxes facial muscle tension that contributes to wrinkles. Unlike Botulinum toxin, Acetyl hexapeptide-3 can be applied directly to the skin and does not require injections.
Palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 promotes the manufacture of collagen in skin cells. The shortfall of collagen in older skin contributes to fine lines and wrinkles. A rise in collagen plumps skin and flattens out winkles. Many judge this to be the essential component of any anti-aging skin care formula.
Retinol. Retinol is a vitamin A compound that acts as an antioxidant. Vitamin A can speed up skin cell turnover so skin cells can be replenished at a faster rate. Retinol is the first antioxidant to be widely used in over-the-counter wrinkle creams.
Hydroxy acids (alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids and poly hydroxy acids) are man-made versions of acids found in sugary fruits. These acids cause skin exfoliation (a process by which dead skin is removed and makes way for development of a fresh layer of skin cells). On the other hand, exfoliation can make skin more vulnerable to sunlight, so the right safety measures ought to be used with a cream that uses hydroxyl acids.
Coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is a critical skin nutrient that helps control cellular energy production. In addition to reducing already present wrinkles, use of coenzyme Q10 can also be a protective agent if applied before going out in the sun.
Copper peptides. Copper is an element found in living cells that combines with small protein fragments called peptides when applied to damaged skin.. Copper peptides remove damaged collagen and elastin from skin, stimulate collagen production and enhances the function of antioxidants.
Keep in mind that most anti-wrinkle creams have not been thoroughly tested, so starting with the highest priced cream is not necessary. Most people would say the same ingredients in less expensive products work just as well as the same ingredients in higher-priced products. When deciding on the best wrinkle cream, be an educated shopper.
