If you're like most people, you linger for a long time in the anti aging skin care aisle of your local drugstore, thinking to yourself, 'why are some wrinkle creams better than others'. You might even wonder whether the benefits touted by manufacturers of wrinkle creams is mere marketing.

When comparing the ingredients and researching what they do, we found interesting results. We have found that there is a difference in products and we also found that some ingredients work better than others.

We have put together the top six ingredients found in wrinkle creams. These top six ingredients have been shown to fade wrinkles and reverse aging lines. The list below helps consumers understand the difference between all the products today that are supposed to give the same results.

Retinol: A type of Vitamin A that has been proven to aid in the fading of wrinkles. This has been in wrinkle creams for years, even in the newest products. Retinol neutralizes particles called 'free radicals: that break down your skin and cause it to lose elasticity.

Co enzyme Q10: This enzyme occurs naturally. Q10 aids cells to regulate their energy production. Studies show that Q10 revitalizes the skin cells around your eyes, fading the tiny lines that will appear.

Tea Extract: Drinking tea provides antioxidants to our bodies, which promotes energy and health. Tea extract does this to skin when directly applied, reducing the inflammation that causes skin damage.

Alpha Hydroxy: Originating from fruit, this mild acid helps strip away the outer layer of skin, called exfoliation, revealing the smooth fresh skin underneath. This method is great for our skin when done periodically. By removing dead layers of skin, new skin growth is promoted.

Copper Peptide: This is required of our bodies to stay healthy. Over time, tiny invisible wounds caused by environmental conditions, such as the Sun, or extreme cold, damage skin and speed up the aging, because skin does not get to heal properly. Copper peptides increase the speed skin heals from wounds. This process rejuvenates skin and allows the skin to heal from the environmental damages it faces daily.

Kinetin: existing naturally in all living things for growth, this substance is great for focusing on brown spots and wrinkles on the skin. Scientists believe that Kinetin promotes collagen growth and increases the speed of growth, healing and evening out wrinkles and age spots.
