What Are the Best Anti-Aging Ingredients in Wrinkle Creams?

Progress in skin care and anti-aging science means today's wrinkle creams provide a number of benefits. An understanding of what makes an anti-wrinkle cream effective will make selecting the right one easy. The important part is to recognize which chemicals provide anti-aging results in skin creams. Here are several things you should look for:

Acetyl hexapeptide-3 relaxes the tension of facial muscles that create wrinkles, and is considered one of the finest anti-aging components next to Outline toxin. As opposed to Botulinum toxin, Acetyl hexapeptide-3 is applied to the surface of the skin and does not require a shot.

Palmitoyl pentapeptide-3. Palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 stimulates collagen production in skin cells. Aging skin loses collagen, which contributes to fine lines and wrinkles. Increasing collagen production helps to plump skin and smooth out wrinkles. Many believe this is the must have ingredient in any anti aging skin care product.

Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is an antioxidant. Vitamin A is able to accelerate skin cell renewal. Retinol was the first antioxidant to be commonly used in wrinkle creams sold without a prescription.

Hydroxy acids (alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids and poly hydroxy acids): acids that cause skin exfoliation. Hydroxy acids are man-made adaptations of the acids normally found in sugary fruits. These acids eliminate dead skin and allow a new layer of skin cells to grow, a process called exfoliation. A word of caution: exfoliation can make skin more susceptible to damage from sunlight, so take the correct safety precautions before using a cream that contains hydroxyl acids.

Coenzyme Q10: a necessary skin nutrient that aids regulation of the production of energy in cells. Coenzyme Q10 reduces wrinkles already present and can also provide sun protection, if you apply it before heading 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.
