When we talk of anti aging products, there are already so many different ones in the market today that it is oftentimes difficult to identify which ones actually work. A good way to determine the best anti aging product is for you to acquaint yourself with the ingredients used in anti aging products.
The top anti aging products in the market today should contain ingredients such as Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA), antioxidants, collagen and Vitamins C, D, E and K.
Beta-Hydroxy Salicylic Acid (BHA) or its alternative Alpha-Hydroxy Acids rids the skin of dead skin cells through exfoliation. The less dead skin cells are accumulated in pores, the fresher and cleaner and younger-looking your skin becomes. However, one must keep in mind that although these are widely used in anti aging products, some individuals experience irritation due to the ingredient’s exfoliating abilty.
Other ingredients like antioxidants work more than just on the surface. The antioxidant Coenzyme Q10 encourages cell turnover by restoring and preventing damaged skin. This also gets rid of dead skin cells that cause discoloration.
Collagen is another anti aging property that moisturizes the skin and protects it from further damage from too much sunshine or too much dryness. Collagen is also responsible for plumping the skin.
Several of the anti aging products we have in the market these days already have added vitamins. These are Vitamins C, D, E and K which are important in preventing deficiencies, as well as in healing wounds, smoothing out scars and strengthening the immune system. Many of these vitamins are antioxidants which fight against free radicals in the body. These free radicals cause the skin to age.
There are some anti aging properties that claim to work but are actually questionable. For one, it is not yet scientifically proven that Vitamin C can penetrate the internal layers of the skin or that it has any function there. This could be the reason why creams that contain only Vitamin C as their main ingredient (Vitamin C creams) might not have any major effect on the skin when used as an anti aging cream.
The best ingredient for anti aging so far is the antioxidant. Research shows that anti aging creams that do not have antioxidants do not work as effectively as those that contain it. This is because an antioxidant’s main function is to combat free radical which are naturally produced by our body. It is this free radical’s unstable oxygen that damage healthy skin and an anti aging product with antioxidant can help prevent this damage and keep free radicals at bay.
Other popular anti aging supplements such as estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid and melatonin are also essential in an anti aging product. These are more commonly as hormone supplements that delay aging. These hormones are also known to increase libido, stabilize sleeping patterns, prevent cancer and help strengthen the immune system.
Other essential anti aging properties include Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), oxytocin, erythropoietin (EPO) and insulin. These ingredients are known to be effective up to some extent. Human chorionic gonadotropin aids fertility in humans; oxytocin strengthens the reproductive system. Erythropoietin deals with anemia while insulin is used to stabilize diabetes mellitus type 1.
Anti aging supplements can have varying effects on different individuals. It is therefore important to consult a doctor before using products containing any of these.
