With a vast array of beauty products on the market, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by choice. So, when choosing an anti-wrinkle cream, it’s important to decide what you’re looking for.
Do you want brighter skin, less noticeable fine lines or an obvious reduction in deep facial lines? How about an improvement in the look of age spots? Most anti-wrinkle creams are readily available in retail outlets or online, but the key is to find the one that will help diminish the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging skin while promoting younger-looking skin.
It’s also helpful to understand some of primary ingredients active in your beauty cream. Common ingredients include:
- Retinol — a form of vitamin A, shown to reduce lines and large pores
- Alpha hydroxy acids — these help break down dead skin cells to promote exfoliation and improve the appearance of skin
- Sunscreen — to protect skin from future sun damage and the associated effect of wrinkle production
- Peptides — helpful in reducing aging by increasing the collagen in your skin
- Vitamin C — an antioxidant to fight free radicals and an essential factor in collagen production
- Coenzyme Q10 — to boost skin regeneration and reduce free radical damage
