Until recently, surgery was the only way to remove old wrinkles.
Thankfully, modern scientists have found that some ingredients work to reduce wrinkling and improve firmness when
applied directly to the skin. This article looks at some of those things.
Wrinkle Removing First Steps
Retinoids were the first compounds found to reduce wrinkling. For at least two decades,
dermatologists have been prescribing these creams to patients that want to look younger and to those that need help
with acne.
The drawbacks of retinoid creams include redness, itching, irritation and increased sensitivity
to sunlight. Companies have worked long and hard to develop creams that provide the benefits, without the
drawbacks.
Vitamin A Importance
Retinoids are actually synthetic forms of the antioxidant vitamin A. Natural forms of the
vitamin have been used in some over-the-counter creams. Research indicates that they are sometimes
beneficial, too.
At first, scientists were unclear about why vitamin A worked. Eventually, they figured out
that it is the antioxidant activity of the vitamin. So, they decided to try and see if other antioxidants
would provide the same benefits. They found that some of them were even more beneficial.
CoQ10 Essential
The antioxidant coenzyme Q10, for example, has been shown to reduce old wrinkles and reverse sun
damage after three months of use by about 30%. The particles of the antioxidant must be reduced in size in
order for them to penetrate. A field of study called nanotechnology allowed scientists to create those
reduced molecules.
Nano-lipobelle H EQ10 - What is This?
A formula called nano-lipobelle H EQ10 includes the reduced particles at a 5%
concentration. The formula is unique, because it also contains a 10% concentration of vitamin E. The
formula is expensive ingredient, but judging from the results of clinical studies, it’s worth the price.
Vitamin E - Natural Preservative
Vitamin E creams have long been recommended for healthy skin and getting rid of old
wrinkles. But, in recent years, many manufacturers have started using a synthetic form of the nutrient.
The synthetic is simply not as active as the naturally occurring form, as evidenced by the natural one’s
effectiveness as a preservative.
The synthetic form of vitamin E cannot be used to preserve the shelf-life of the lotions and
creams. That’s one of the reasons that manufacturers have to use artificial preservatives. But, the
artificial preservatives and the synthetic vitamin E cost less than the natural form of the vitamin, alone.
So, that’s why the companies do what they do. They are trying to cut costs.
Keratin - Key Ingredient
To date, the most effective compound for removing old wrinkles is a protein formula called
Keratin. It increases the skin’s antioxidant content by increasing the number of new cells being
produced.
Keratin is a unique protein formula, because it is not rendered inactive through the
manufacturing processes. It is the same basic building block that makes up the cells in the skin’s outer
layers.
Basically, it allows you to build some new skin, which helps you get rid of old wrinkles.
