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?
Picking out the best wrinkle cream products on the market today, we began to compare the ingredients and found some surprising results. Some ingredients in these creams are better than others, causing products to be 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 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: 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 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.
