Do Wrinkle Cream Really Works

Americans are getting older, and to fight the signs of aging, many are turning to wrinkle creams. An effective wrinkle-reducer is obviously a great addition to every skin care regimen. But do these creams work? How do you know which one to choose?

One way to get information about wrinkle creams is to solicit the opinions of family and friends. Their anecdotal evidence about which products they've used and which products they like are subjective, but they can also be useful. Because these people have no agenda or motivation to sell a specific product, they are probably being honest, and you can trust their review. So instead of asking your Aunt Maude whether wrinkle creams in general work, ask her if her chosen product does the trick!

You can supplement this information by going online. Use your favorite search engine to find product reviews, which compare the benefits and drawbacks of many different skin care products and techniques. Some of these might be biased because they're sponsored by the industry, but others come from users and third-party sources and are more objective. Some even cite clinical studies whose results support or refute various products' claims.

One product that has been proven effective is not a beauty product as well. Popular hemorrhoid creams will temporarily reduce wrinkles and smooth the appearance of the skin, especially in the "crowsfeet" area of the eyes. Don't forget home remedies and unusual uses of products originally intended for other purposes when fighting wrinkles.

Wrinkles occur because as skin ages, it loses elasticity and support and may also suffer damage from improper diet and hydration and damage from the sun and elements. One wrinkle preventative is the use of sun screens to minimize or delay the appearance of wrinkles later in life. Another prevention strategy is attention to diet and getting enough rest to allow the body to heal itself, including drinking plenty of water. Smoking creates free radicals that greatly increase wrinkling, while diets and some creams with antioxidants can diminish it.

The most effective wrinkle reducers usually contain ingredients to retain the skin's moisture, so make sure this is on the label of any product you choose. You should also look for ingredients like collagen or collagen builders. Some creams contain ingredients to smooth skin by removing the rough upper layer. Some chemical compounds- such as hyaluronic acid, alpha hydroxy acid, and acetyl hexapeptide - have shown proven results, but they can be very pricey, so do your research online to make sure your purchase is worth the cost.

If you're looking for a more cost-effective solution, try petroleum jelly and of course sunscreen (with an SPF of at least 15). To make the most of your moisturizer, you need to apply it right after you wash your face - and make sure to get adequate fluid intake. The best wrinkle fighters aren't necessarily the most expensive ones.

So do wrinkle-reducers work? Definitely! Some work better than others, and some are just not worth the cost. The key to getting the most effective product for the price is doing your research. Don't get discouraged if you don't see immediate results. Many creams have only temporary effects, so they have to be applied regularly; others might take as long as a few months to show noticeable results.

To fight the visual signs of aging, make sure to lead a healthy lifestyle and ask your friends and family for their opinions about skin care. Healthy habits fight all effects of aging, not just wrinkles, and a little bit of research can go a long way to help you find the perfect wrinkle cream for you!
