Wrinkle Creams Ingredients Exposed

Wrinkle creams are formulated with many different ingredients. One thing is consistent in various wrinkle creams, and that is the main ingredient base. This article will take a look at main ingredients you will find in wrinkle creams available today.
The effectiveness of anti-wrinkle creams vary depending on the ingredients that are formulated in them, and of course, their concentration levels. The ingredients I will discuss today have shown results in slight to modest improvements in facial wrinkles.

The first ingredient is very common in many types of wrinkle creams, from high-priced all the way down to free wrinkle creams. Retinol is a vitamin A compound and is the first antioxidant to be used in the industry in nonprescription wrinkle creams. If you don't do a lot of research on the subject of anti-aging, or haven't had a chance to tune into Oprah recently, antioxidants are substances that neutralize free radicals - which are unstable oxygen molecules that have had success in breaking down skin cells which in turn cause wrinkles. If you look around the Internet, there is plenty of information on antioxidants. They are the main ingredient anti-aging capsules such as DermaCaps, and present in many of the healthier foods you eat each day. Retinol, although common, should be one thing you look for in a wrinkle cream when you read the label.

Peptides, such as Copper peptides, are also important in anti-aging wrinkle creams. Copper is actually a trace element found in each and every cell. In products that are used on the skin, Copper is combined with small protein fragments called peptides. These Copper peptides act to speed up wound healing. Copper peptides can also stimulate production of collagen and may help antioxidants work at an optimal level.

Tea extracts also show up in many of the anti-aging wrinkle creams out there. Green tea, black tea, and oolong tea contain compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Although it is worth noting that Green tea extracts are the ones that are most popular in anti-aging wrinkle creams.

Lastly, I will leave you with some bonus ingredients that have been making waves in an eye cream out there called Elite. Resveratrol, acai berry, and gaba have been working wonders on the under-eye area and work well to reduce dark circles under the eyes as well as puffy eyes. Look those up and you will see the consumer reviews are quite positive.

Remember, the difference in wrinkle cream prices is usually due to the concentration level in ingredients. If a wrinkle cream is cheap, it is safe to assume the level of ingredients put in the wrinkle cream is much lower than those that are higher in price.
