How to Get the Best Results From Your Anti Wrinkle Cream

By Julie Samtsonn

We are all getting old and showing the signs of aging. However there are some who want to make their situation better. When you chose an anti wrinkle cream you are also making a positive choice to change your personal situation. It is wise to do your homework, because when you choose an anti wrinkle cream you get what you pay for.

Luckily there is a huge assortment of these products to choose from. There are in fact many good anti wrinkle products out there and all we have to do is to find which one suits our needs and skin type.

The purpose of each anti wrinkle cream is twofold. To encourage the growth of new skin, to repair and rejuvenate the skin and of course to reduce the signs of aging, like wrinkles. In order to make your skin softer and suppler, collagen and elastin production should be increased.

Always look for the active ingredients, when selecting a good anti wrinkle cream. They are often listed first on the label. Important ones to search for are vitamins A, C and E. elastin and collagen are stimulated by these and wrinkles are reduced.

Your skin will look suppler and younger with the help of Alpha-Hydroxy acids. This ingredient removes old dead skin and lets new skin emerge. Other good ingredients are olive oil, hyaluronic acid, fruit extracts grape seed oil and keratin. Look fro anti toxins as these get rid of the effects of free radicals that inhibit new cell growth.

Sometimes the right anti wrinkle cream is hard to find. This is because there are so many varieties to select from. Reading online reviews for products you like can help you to make a more educated decision. You can also go to your dermatologist for advice.

Be careful of price. Bear in mind that once you like a product you will need to keep a supply on hand. You can often get free samples of other products with an order or just as a promotion. These are good to experiment with and find out which anti wrinkle cream is suitable for you and find out if you are allergic to any of the products.

Keep in mind that no two people are alike and anti wrinkle cream can work well for some and perform poorly for others. Be aware of cost and your particular skin type. A little time spent on research will pay back big dividends. - 15485
