What Are Anti-Aging Creams Made Of?

Most anti-aging creams tend to be moisturizer-based cosmetic skin care products advertised with the promise of reducing, masking, or even preventing visible signs of aging by effectively moisturizing the skin. While these claims are frequently made in advertisements for cosmetic products, they are often misleading or at least questionable. In truth, most moisturizers contain synthetic ingredients and do little or nothing to help improve the condition of your skin.

Natural anti-aging cream products that have demonstrated effective anti-wrinkle effects are far superior to those that contain chemicals or synthetic compounds. Natural ingredients are also much less expensive and, when combined with regular skin care, will significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As a matter of fact, many of the products containing natural ingredients can even make you appear younger.

As our skin becomes drier and older, our ability to produce natural substances called collagen and elastin decreases. Collagen and elastin are protein molecules that are naturally present in our skin; however, as we age, our body’s production of these proteins begins to decline, causing wrinkle formation. This process may also cause the skin to become thinner, loose, and baggy. Since collagen and elastin cannot be produced by the body, it is essential that our body has an ample supply of these important substances to make up for the loss.

Collagen and elastin can be broken down into fragments, which are then released into the bloodstream when we exercise or engage in other strenuous activity. Many anti-wrinkle creams contain components that inhibit the breakdown of these molecules in the skin. Unfortunately, these ingredients do not provide much benefit to the skin in their current form. Even though they may slow down the skin’s production of these important substances, they do little to correct the structural imbalances that lead to wrinkles and dry, flaky skin.

The most important anti-wrinkle ingredient, and the one that provide the greatest benefit to the skin, are Functional Keratin. Functional Keratin is a special type of protein that is derived from the wool of sheep in New Zealand. In the past, it has been discovered that this protein is a powerful antioxidant that can reverse the signs of aging on the skin by promoting the growth of new cells, slowing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and plumping up skin cells.

Clinical trials conducted in New Zealand have shown that Functional Keratin is effective in reversing the signs of aging on the skin by treating several signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, bags, bags and crow’s feet. In a study conducted at the New Zealand Institute of Medical Research, it was found that the active ingredient in Functional Keratin reversed the signs of aging on skin tissue samples taken from healthy volunteers without increasing collagen levels. Functional Keratin has also been found to have a remarkable effect on improving the look of people’s skin after being exposed to UV radiation. It also increases the amount of collagen that your body produces, making your skin stronger, thicker, and healthier.
