Discovering the secret of Anti-Wrinkle Cream

By Julie Samtsonn

The worst thing about getting old is those dreadful wrinkles. This problem has haunted women for years. Consequently the cosmetics industry has come up with several options; botox injections face lifts and anti wrinkle creams are but 3 of them. New products are bombarding us everyday. Each one holds the promise that you can look 10 or even 30 years younger if you use them.

The question on everyone's mind is whether they really work or is it all a lot of hot air to pull the wool over the consumers' eyes. Your skin type will be a large factor in whether the product will work for you. Another factor to be considered is how you have treated your skin over the years. It is a well known fact that overexposure to the sun will make it age faster.

There are a number of anti wrinkle creams that are in fact very good. The ingredients are the deciding factor of just how good they are. A good indicator is that the ingredient listed at the top of the list is usually the one that is predominant. For example if water tops the list then that will make up the vast majority of the cream. Be sure to understand exactly what the product is claiming to do. Remember there is no miracle cure but you will find that wrinkles and fine lines will eventually reduce and even disappear over time.

One such product contains mostly aloe vera. This is an extract from the plant itself and has many healing properties. A couple of week of using this product, although you have to find the one that contains the highest percentage of aloe vera, will have people commenting on the radiant new look of your skin.

Other products include anti aging wrinkle creams. For these products be sure that the anti aging agent is listed at the top to be sure that there is the maximum amount of it in the cream. Many of these products will have what is known as anti toxins. These ingredients are specifically for reducing the signs of aging and stimulating new skin growth. Harmful toxins like free radicals are neutralized by these substances. You will see your skin improve when you use these products.

One way to find out what works for most people and what does not, is to ask friends and family what they use. The best advertiser is word of mouth and when someone finds something that works, they normally want to share it with the rest of the world. Even if you check out the reviews of certain products, you will see which ones people say has the best results.

Products that contain collagen and elastin are normally the ones that will provide the best results in the shortest time. These products help to tighten loose skin and help to restore the elasticity that is lost as we age. Before purchasing any product make sure it has a money back guarantee if you do not see results.

After all if you find a product, you expect to find that the company stands behind it 100%. You will then feel confident that the product really does what it says. - 16004
