Anti-aging creams are mainly moisturizer-based cosmeceutic skin care products sold with the promise to make the user look younger through reducing, removing or preventing visible signs of skin aging by a certain amount. There is no evidence that these claims are actually true.

Some of the ingredients present in anti-wrinkle cream are glycolic acid and retinol. They are used as preservatives for their ability to increase collagen and elastin production, which are the two substances responsible for the skin’s ability to retain moisture. However, it is not known how well these substances work because there is no evidence that these compounds are effective against aging.

Creams that claim to be effective in reducing signs of aging contain alcohol, a compound known to cause dehydration and inflammation of the skin. This can make the skin sensitive to the wind and result in the formation of lines and wrinkles, especially when used on irritated skin. Also, alcohol does not promote cell renewal and may have adverse effects on the skin’s production of hyaluronic acid.

Creams that claim to be effective in reducing signs of aging usually contain mineral oil. This substance is not only unhealthy for the skin but can also result in the sebaceous glands becoming hyperactive, causing dark, oily, and clogged skin.

Retinoic acid is a compound found in most anti-aging cream, because it is an exfoliating agent that dissolves the topmost layer of dead skin cells without damaging the skin’s outer layer. But it has been shown to stimulate the formation of new skin cells. There is no evidence that this compound helps reduce signs of aging or to maintain the skin’s elasticity.

Collagen and elastin cannot be absorbed through the epidermis because the skin’s dermal surface does not contain enough protein for absorption. Collagen and elastin are responsible for producing collagen and elastin fibers.

Some anti aging products contain phytosterols, which are plant-derived polyphenolic antioxidants that prevent free radical damage by scavenging free radicals and neutralizing oxygen radicals. However, phytosterols cannot penetrate the skin due to their molecular structure, so they do not contribute to the skin’s healing process. These antioxidants are very effective in protecting against ultraviolet radiation.

Many anti-aging cream manufacturers claim to be able to reverse signs of aging through the use of antioxidants. But antioxidants do not have the effect that scientists had hoped for.

Collagen and elastin fibers cannot be absorbed through the skin because the skin’s dermal surface does not contain enough protein for absorption. Collagen and elastin cannot be broken down and transported into the bloodstream because their molecular structure prevents them from being metabolized.

A popular ingredient in anti-aging cream is a protein complex called Functional Keratin. This substance was first discovered in China but was not released to the market until after the Japanese suffered from an outbreak of the condition known as the aging “yoghurt” in the late 1980s.

Functional Keratin, derived from red wakame kelp, contains three unique proteins that are responsible for the production of more collagen and elastin than any other protein on Earth. It is made up of more than 40% protein and other nutrients that stimulate the body to produce its own collagen and elastin.

As Functional Keratin is absorbed by the skin, it becomes an active form of protein. This protein then stimulates the body to make more new collagen and elastin, as well as hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a key component of healthy skin tissue, so the increased levels of this substance will help your skin to produce new collagen and elastin.

The most effective treatment for wrinkle reduction is a cream that contains natural protein and vitamin E. The natural ingredients will help you achieve firmer skin that is less likely to wrinkle and will also improve the texture of your skin. The anti-aging effects of these ingredients will last a long time, if you choose the right product. So look for an ingredient called Functional Keratin.
