The prospect of choosing a wrinkle cream can be a daunting task. There are many choices at the drugstore, and even the grocery store has a large selection. You see offers for wrinkle creams that are only available online, or hear your friend talking about how much she loves the product she orders through one of those network marketing organizations. Should finding the right product for you be left to chance?
Wrinkle cream manufacturers all make similar claims about their products. It reduces fine lines, delays signs of aging, and makes you look younger, all within a relatively short period of time. Advertisersa marketing copy doesnat provide any helpful guidance.
The word-of-mouth approach is another possibility. The advantage of getting feedback from people who have actually tried the product would be ideal. However, they would have to be people whose judgment you trust so that you could have faith in their recommendation.
But then, how many people do you know who fit the bill? There are so many products out there, you may have to look hard for someone whoas tried the one youare interested in. And then thereas the problem of different skin types; what works for one person might not work for you.
Scientific tests have been performed on some wrinkle creams, but you only hear about them as part of a productas marketing. A manufacturer will promote a product that performs well, but thereas no way to compare it to any other product. Thereas no place to go for independent information.
Prescription products are required to be compared to a simple moisturizer in order to demonstrate their effectiveness, but the over the counter wrinkle creams that can be found in drugstores are usually only tested in before-and-after studies that donat compare products.
Fortunately, there are some test results regarding the effectiveness of ingredients commonly used in anti-wrinkle creams. Manufacturers of drugstore creams have started including retinoids, a type of vitamin A found in some prescription products. Although retinoids can take up to a year for their maximum effect to be seen on skin, they do work for many people. Other ingredients that have been tested include hydroxy acids and antioxidants, though these may not hold quite as much promise.
Generally, most of the effect of wrinkle creams tends to come from their moisturizing and protecting effects on the skin. This doesn't require fancy 200 dollar products. It could make economical sense to try the cheaper options first, in case they deliver the effect you are looking for. They very well may, as there have been tests that showed little difference between exclusive anti-aging products and less expensive drugstore moisturizing creams. - 15995
