Advancements in the science of skin care and anti-aging mean today’s wrinkle creams provide a range of benefits. If you know what makes an effective anti-wrinkle cream, choosing the right one is simple. The secret is to identify which ingredients will deliver age-reversing results in skin creams. Here are a few ingredients to keep your eye open for:

Acetyl hexapeptide-3:

a face muscle relaxant that reduces tension in the muscles in your face that cause wrinkles. It is considered to be one of the finest anti-aging substances, second only to Outline toxin. Acetyl hexapeptide-3 is applied directly to the surface of the skin and does not require an injection, unlike Botulinum toxin.

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:

an antioxidant that increases the renewal of skin cells. A type of vitamin A, retinol was the first antioxidant to be widely used in non-prescription wrinkle creams.

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.

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.

It is important to remember that most anti-wrinkle creams have not be rigorously tested so starting with the most expensive one is not necessary. In fact, most people believe that the same ingredients in less expensive products work just as well as their high priced counterparts. So be a well-informed shopper when choosing the best wrinkle cream for you.
