Do Wrinkle Creams Work

Many superstores all over the world have overflowed their store racks with many different kinds of anti aging skin care products, all claiming to remove wrinkles and permanently reverse the visible signs of aging. Many conscientious individuals find it amazing and appalling to be bombarded with countless advertisements that promote the sale of these products. Here is what was found to be particularly amazing-all these advertisements claim to provide multiple benefits to the consumer, but without any scientific explanation of how these products actually produce such results. This article will discuss the all important question…do wrinkle creams work?

Many scientific studies over the years have proven that products do exist that actually deliver the results the consumers desire. The downside to these results is the effects produced are as varied as the methods in which the products are formulated. Since many of the processes involved in the formulation of these products have patents on the process and/or trademark secrets, the process details themselves cannot be given in this article. This article will, however, discuss the effects produced by these products in order to establish their effectiveness.

Some of the acidic formulations act by clearing the pores that our skin has. This is achieved either by flooding these pores with fresh lease of oxygen or by flushing out sebum contained in these pores through external fluid media. Either way, the end result is skin that can breathe.

By unblocking the pores and allowing the skin to breathe, these creams attempt to aggravate expulsion of toxic waste from the epidermis. Build-up of toxic waste is the number one reason for acne and many other dermatological problems. These dermatological ailments are known aggravators of wrinkling. This is the first line of attack or primary effect of any such cream.

To further evaluate wrinkle creams and their function, we will now review them from a different perspective. How do these creams affect the secretion of oil from glands located in the dermis, the second layer of skin, underneath the epidermis?

Some of these creams contain the secretion of oil from these glands helping keep oily skin clear of grime build-up which is the labyrinth of bacterial action leading to major skin diseases. In doing so, these creams neutralize the potential skin issues that aggravate ageing. So, if upon application of a wrinkle cream, a person with oily skin finds skin becoming less oily, you know the cream is actually working!

Other creams cater to consumers whose skin is naturally dry. The formulation of these types of creams induces the dermis glands to secrete the proper amounts of oils. This result is achieved by providing extra moisture, which enables these glands to dissolve dead skin cells and flush them out. The main indicator of a working cream is the decrease of skin dryness.

Not every product on the market today gives the effects desired by the consumer upon purchase. Consumers should be conscientious of what ingredients are in the product and the reputation of the manufacturer. Trial and error is not the tool to determine if wrinkle creams work, knowledge is. Knowing what the consumer expects and requires from a wrinkle cream and the knowledge of what ingredients produce results guarantees the proper results from their use.
