Anti wrinkle cream ingredients are responsible for the success of the anti wrinkle products. The plethora of products available in the market may get you confused and you have to be extremely careful in buying the product since a number of fake products are being manufactured and sold by profit minded people. Therefore, you should read the label thoroughly and go through the ingredients to make sure that the product is worth buying to avoid being fooled. The amount and type of the active ingredients in the cream and the duration of its use by you would determine the level of improvement in the appearance of your skin.

Retinol, a vitamin A compound, is the first antioxidant that is commonly used in wrinkle creams. Wrinkles are caused by Free radicals which are unstable oxygen molecules responsible for breaking down skin cells. Since Retinol is an antioxidant, it neutralizes free radicals.  Tretinoin is another derivative of Vitamin A. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a topical treatment for treating wrinkles and is available only by prescription.

Other prominent anti wrinkle cream ingredients derived from sugar containing fruits are Alpha hydroxy acids, Beta hydroxy acids and Poly hydroxy acids.  They are substances which function as exfoliants, i.e, they remove the higher layer of old, dead skin and inspire the growth of smooth, uniformly pigmented new skin.  Coenzyme Q10 is another important ingredient, which helps power generation in cells.  Studies have shown that it helps to reduce fine wrinkles around the eyes and its application before sun exposure also defends against sun damage.

Every cell in the body contains a trace of copper. While manufacturing products applied to the skin, it is combined with small protein fragments known as peptides. Copper peptides have the properties to heal wounds, stimulate the production of collagen and enhance the action of antioxidants. Kinetin, which is a plant growth factor, has the potential to improve wrinkles and uneven pigmentation with the least irritation. It aids in reducing wrinkles by retaining the moisture of skin and stimulating the production of collagen.

Anti wrinkle cream ingredients also include tea extracts.  Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are found in green, black and oblong tea.  Green tea extracts are the common ones found in wrinkle creams.  A little patience to read the ingredients before purchasing the product can save you from endless troubles later on .
