Wrinkle Cream Ingredients that Really Work

By: Geoff Hopkins. 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.
What follows is our guide to the top six ingredients found in wrinkle creams, all of which have been shown to reverse the signs of aging. With this information at your fingertips, you can finally answer the question, "why are some wrinkle creams better than others".
Retinol: this is a type of Vitamin A and it has been used in wrinkle creams for many years. It continues to show up in the newest products on the market because it works. How it works is that it neutralizes particles called ?free radicals? that break down your skin and cause aging.
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: this is a mild acid that comes from fruit. It helps to strip away the very top-most layer of your skin (exfoliation) and therefore reveal the healthy beautiful skin underneath it. Exfoliation is great for our skin when we do it periodically, because it helps promote the growth of healthy skin and the removal of dead skin.
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 substance comes from a plant hormone that promotes cell division. Kinetin is used in wrinkle creams to fade wrinkles and brown spots. Scientists say it makes skin and collagen grow quickly, healing and smoothing wrinkles by increased cell growth, filling in the "valleys".
