How to choose the best anti-aging wrinkle cream
Examine the composition... Dermatologists recommend products containing the following ingredients:
- Retinoids (derivatives of vitamin A). They promote cell metabolism, stimulate collagen production and help even out skin tone.
- Peptides are another important anti-aging product that helps repair skin damage.
- Antioxidantssuch as vitamins C and E, help fight free radicals (unstable molecules that can seriously damage your cells).
- Hyaluronic acid, ceramides, shea butter, and other hydrators help moisturize the skin and retain moisture, which reduces the irritation of anti-aging ingredients.
Know your skin type... For those with oily skin or living in humid climates, a light cream with mattifying properties is suitable. And for those who live in a dry and cold place, it is better to use a thick nourishing cream.
Sensitivity factor: If your skin is prone to irritation and breakouts, consider looking for anti-aging creams that contain bacuchiol instead of retinol. This chemical compound has the same effect as retinol, but it also has anti-inflammatory effects. Other potential irritants to avoid include:
- flavors,
- salicylic acid,
- artificial colors
- coconut oil and cocoa butter, which can clog pores and cause acne.
Look for cream in light-tight packaging... Ingredients such as vitamin C, retinol, and peptides can become unstable and degrade when exposed to air or light, so any products containing them should be packed in dark, opaque vials or other containers.
