ANTI-WRINKLE CREAMS COMPARISON

A good anti-wrinkle creams comparison requires both personal experience and expert knowledge of ingredients. The official organizations such as FDA or AAD do not recommend any product that can remove wrinkles permanently. At the most a product can hide or temporarily reduce wrinkles, which are likely to return again.

THREE MAIN INGREDIENTS

The three main ingredients that are most popular with all skin creams are vitamins (A, E, C), acids (fruit acids/AHA/BHA), and anti-oxidants (phytochemicals.) These constantly recur in most market products, either singly or together.

THE BASIC SKIN PROTECTION CREAM

The most basic skin protection with sound theory behind it is your sun screen lotion. It blocks the harmful UV rays that alone are responsible for most of the premature aging and skin problems. The SPF – sun protection factor – rates the strength of the cream, and a score of 15 is recommended by some.

Many over the counter topical products with vitamins C and E are easily tried, but the results would vary from one to another. A lot may depend on the actual skin conditions.

Acid containing formulations are now popular, and peel are also available for consumers to use. These scrub the outer skin clean, revealing new skin underneath. How this can remove wrinkles is a question. How long the effects last is also a point to be considered before investing the money.

OTHER COSMETIC TREATMENTS AVAILABLE

Skin creams and gels are not the only option available when it comes to making the face look young and beautiful. Apart from stronger acid peels, there are such treatments available as –

• Microdermabrasion
• Lasers - Lasers are approved to treat wrinkles. Laser therapy is performed under anesthesia in an outpatient surgical setting.
• Fillers
• Implants
• Botox

Trained professionals in clinics perform these treatments. A dermatologist is the medically qualified professional who advises and treats facial and skin problems. The above mentioned procedures go beyond the scope of home treatments.

A good knowledge of such procedures, what is done and how, and all the implied consequences in terms of side effects, discomfort, and do’s and don’ts to be observed after the treatment must be obtained.
