Not all anti aging wrinkle creams are created equal. Unfortunately, the consumer is bombarded with products that simply do not live up to their name. There are many anti aging wrinkle cream websites that display false information, fake testimonials and fake before-after images. Whatever product you choose, there are certain components of many anti aging wrinkle creams you need to avoid. Read on so you can make an educated choice and be confident you are on your way to a younger you with a quality anti aging wrinkle cream.

Cosmetic companies want your money – at any cost. One main component of many anti aging creams is collagen. We naturally produce collagen in our skin, and as we age, the skin\’s ability to produce collagen lessens. Collagen is what gives skin strength and elasticity. The collagen that makes up part of these creams comes from animal sources. What these companies do not tell you is that collagen cannot penetrate the skin, and is washed off when we shower or bath and so to say, the softer, younger you is thrown out with the bath water! Collagen is an important anti aging protein, and it is best you stick to products that include ingredients that regenerate natural collagen.

Another anti aging component is elastin. Like collagen, elastin is naturally produced by the body. Elastin is what gives our skin its elasticity; returning skin to its original position when poked or pinched. If you plan on getting an anti aging cream with elastin, do not waste your time. Both elastin and collagen protiens are too large to penetrate the skin. As will collagen, find a product that helps regenerate elastin naturally in the skin.  Read more...

Alpha Lipoic Acid is one of the strongest antioxidants on the market. It is used in anti aging creams to counteract the damage done by free radicals.

Antioxidants, such as Vitamin A, C and E, are used to protect against the damage done by free radicals. These particles result from the oxidation of cells. Free radicals cause damage to the cells and have a part in the aging process. They are also thought to play a role in certain diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants bind free radicals and stop the damage done by these particles.

Beta Hydroxy Acids work in the same way as Alpha Hydroxy Acids. The main difference is that Beta Hydroxy Acids are less irritating to the skin. Salicylic acid is the most common beta hydroxy acid found in anti aging creams.

Botanicals are plant extracts that are used in many beauty products. Some of the common botanicals found in anti wrinkle creams are ginseng, aloe and gingko. These all have regenerative properties when used on the skin.
