Wrinkle Cream Ingredients that Really Work

by Jen Hopkins

If you're like most people, you linger for a long time in the anti aging skin care aisle of your local drugstore, thinking to yourself, 'why are some wrinkle creams better than others'. You might even wonder whether the benefits touted by manufacturers of wrinkle creams is mere marketing.

We took a close look at some of the most common ingredients of the best wrinkle cream products on the market, and discovered some surprising results. It turns out that the answer to the question, 'why are some wrinkle creams better than others' is 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: This has been in wrinkle creams for years. This type of Vitamin A is even in today's products because it is proven to neutralize 'free radical' particles that break down your skin and cause aging signs.

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: this is one of the newest ingredients in wrinkle creams. Just like drinking tea provides you with antioxidants that help promote whole-body health, give you energy, and turn back the clock of aging, so too does using tea on your skin. Tea extracts also help reduce the inflammation that causes skin damage over time.

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 required of our bodies to stay healthy. Over time, tiny invisible wounds caused by environmental conditions, such as the Sun, or extreme cold, damage skin and speed up the aging, because skin does not get to heal properly. Copper peptides increase the speed skin heals from wounds. This process rejuvenates skin and allows the skin to heal from the environmental damages it faces daily.

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.
