Seeing your face and body deteriorate and grow older is tough, especially when you were always beautiful. So it is not surprising that many women will do everything they can to slow down the aging process and spend lots of dollars on anti-aging creams that are effective. But which ones actually work and have the ingredients that actually do something for our skin?
Recent research into this indicated that many creams are NOT effective
Disappointingly, most creams were not able to show improvements of more than 10% in wrinkle depth, which is quite insignificant. But no-one expects that that these kind of results will stop us from buying face creams. They still feel good and the promise of dramatically different skin will still encourage us to buy creams and companies will continue to invest money in research and development.
But has it not been proven that some ingredients are effective for skin anti-aging?
Yes, ingredients like AHA products, some hormones, vitamins A, C and E all benefit skin anti-aging. But many trials with these products have been disappointing.
This is partly due to the fact that many creams only contain a fraction of these effective ingredients. Another reason is that wrinkles are effectively scar tissue, which once formed, are difficult to remove. One way to reduce these wrinkles is through the use of more aggressive anti-aging creams with more effective ingredients.
High strength creams are more aggressive and use a high percentages of ingredients like AHAs which can cause skin irritation in some or other allergic reactions. Since main stream products want to appeal to the masses and don’t want to incur bad reviews or even law suits they tend to stick with less effective creams that don’t irritate the skin.
More effective anti-aging creams are products from companies such as Dermalogica and SkinCeuticals but they tend not to be as widely available as other brands, although they are available online. They are usually used by cosmetic clinics, with qualified therapists being able to prescribe the right cream for your skin and monitor any possible side effects.
Your skin specialist can properly asses the skin and also monitor for any irritation caused by the cream. She can then adjust or prescribe a less aggressive cream. Having a cream that actually delivers results, together with the monitoring of a professional can really help the anti-aging process of your skin.
