| There are so many different anti-wrinkle products on the market it can be mind boggling to try and figure out which ones really work. You want to buy products that work, but how do you know which ones do? To put it simply you will need to read the ingredients to make sure that you not just getting a product that is basically an overpriced moisturizer.RetinolAnti-wrinkle creams have certain ingredients that you want to look for when buying. A known antioxidant, Retinol is one of these ingredients. Free radicals, which are unstable oxygen molecules causes the majority of the damage in your skin and antioxidants work to neutralize them. Tretinol is another antioxidant that is available through prescription only and is much more effective than retinol, however it also has the price tag to go along with it. So Retinol is a very good ingredient to look for.Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is another ingredient that you may want to consider looking for. Co Q10 is a necessary nutrient for healthy cell function that is naturally produced by our bodies, however as we age the production becomes less and our cell metabolism slows down. When this happens the skin cells are more vulnerable to the outside elements that affect us such as the sun, wind, pollution and more. These elements are all responsible for the visible signs of aging...i.e. wrinkles. Anti wrinkle creams and lotions that contain CoQ10 can give extra energy to these cells therefore helping to protect against outside elements and lessen wrinkles.Hydroxy AcidsWhen searching the ingredients of anti wrinkle creams another ingredient that you may consider are hydroxyl acids. These help to remove older skin cells allowing the new cells to be exposed. The new cells are more subject to sun damage therefore you should make sure to use sun block when you go outside after using hydroxy acids.KinetinKinetin has been discovered in human DNA, however it is considered for the most part a plant hormone. It is another ingredient that effectively diminishes wrinkles. It also inadvertently causes the skin to produce collagen, (one of the chief elements to have smoother and firmer skin), as it works to stimulate the division of skin cells.Copper PeptidesEvery cell of the human body has copper in it. When copper is used in anti wrinkle products it is used in combination with peptides, which are small protein particles. The combination of these two augment the skins natural ability to heal. This allows it to help to repair the damage that can lead to wrinkles.Process of EliminationYou should always make sure that the products you are trying has at least one of these ingredients. Keep in mind that anytime you are looking into anti wrinkle products you will discover that some products work for you better than others. So there is a process of elimination to go through to find the product that is right for you.Nick Hurd writes about aging and baby boomer generation and how to not only cope with the changes, but live a very healthy and active life. http://www.youreover50.com information for baby boomers and beyond.
