There are many wrinkle creams, anti aging moisturizers available in the market promising to reduce the effects of the sun and even to prevent the signs of aging. But the question would get a good answer only if we are able to screen the best anti aging moisturizers in the market and evidence their potential benefits. There are a number of researches carried on the various ingredients of the creams so as to prove the potential benefits of these ingredients. The working of the anti aging creams depends on the fact of how long are you going to use the product, the amount used in the application of the cream and the active ingredients used in the creams.

Ingredients used in the anti aging creams

As a known fact the working of any product can be judged from the effectiveness of its parts, and same is the case with the anti aging creams whose effectiveness can be judged from the effectiveness of its ingredients. Some of the ingredients that are widely used in the anti aging cream which have yielded good results in the improvement of the wrinkles reduction. The ingredients used are:

Retinol: A Vitamin A compound called Retinol is the first of the antioxidant widely used in the nonprescription wrinkle creams. The antioxidants are compounds that neutralize the free radicals. Free radicals are nothing but the unstable oxygen molecules which break the skin cells thus causing wrinkles. Retinol however is less effective than one of the derivatives of the Vitamin A called as tretinoin. The usage of tretinoin has been approved by the Food and Drug administration for the treatment of wrinkles; however this derivative is available only after specific prescription. But it is to be kept in mind that these derivatives of Vitamin A are to be avoided by pregnant women as they carry the risk of birth defects.

Hydroxy acids: Some of the synthetic versions of acids derived from the sugar containing fruits are Alpha hydroxyl acids, beta hydroxyl acids and poly hydroxy acids. These acids function as exfoliants i.e.; they remove the upper layer of the dead skin and thus promote the growth of new smooth layer of skin. They also act as an effective agent to provide protection of the sun damage
.
Coenzyme Q10: This is one of the finest nutrients that help to stimulate the energy production in our cells. There are many evidences available that have shown the signs of reduction in the wrinkles. It also protects us from the effects of sun damage.

Copper peptides: Every cell in our body contains the trace elements of copper. In the skin care products this element is combined with small elements of protein fragments referred to as peptides. The copper peptides help to cure the wounds. They also help in the stimulation of collagen and they even enhance the functioning of antioxidants.

Tea extracts: The different kinds of tea like green, black and oolong tea contains some of the most effective anti oxidant and the anti inflammatory properties. The extracts of green tea serve as a purposeful ingredient in some of the best wrinkle creams.
