3. Overview
Anti-aging cream makers claim to give you face that look several decades younger by
tightening your sagging skin, removing dark spots and leaving you with a rejuvenated glow.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, million of dollars are being spent
each year on such creams that make some alluring promises about reducing wrinkles or other
visible signs of aging and stimulating collagen production. What is the truth about these
products? Do they work? Or if they work what is their effectiveness? these are few questions
that one can think.

4. 8 reasons Anti-aging creams work
 Whether the anti-aging cream in your hand is effective or not, it depends in part on the
active ingredients it contains and how long you use it. Ahead are the 8 reasons, i.e.
active ingredients that if included can result in slight to modest improvement in the
appearance of age defining factors
Retinol
 Jeffrey Dover, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at the Yale School of
Medicine says that "retinol are among the best anti-aging ingredients we have". Retinol or
in simple words vitamin A is an active anti-oxidant (compounds that neutralizes the free
radicals) that "speeds cell turnover, lightened superficial brown spots, smooth wrinkles, and
boost elastin and collagen production by skin" says Amy Wechsler, New York City
dermatologist.

5. Peptides
 As we age, our skin loose its elasticity, become thinner and sag down due to less
production of elastin and collagen proteins. Collagen made up the cells of skin and elastin
keeps them elastic and tight. Peptides are the small protein molecules (mainly elastin and
collagen) that stimulate skin to produce new cells and helps skin to maintain its elasticity.

6. Alpha-hydroxy acids
 This family contains compounds naming lactic acid, glycolic acid, citric acid that comes
from milk sugar and fruits. Collectively these acids work as a exfoliants, i.e. substances that
tend to remove upper worn out layer of dead skin cells and stimulate production of new
cells that comes to surface faster.

7. Antioxidants
 Major anti-oxidants are vitamin A, C and E. There addition in anti-aging creams could be
beneficial as they help skin fight against free radicals that are leading cause of cell injury
leaving the skin surface uneven. Their other function include un-stability of oxygen
molecules that cause skin wrinkling. Other compounds fall under this category are beta-
carotene, lycopene, selenium.

8. Niacinamide
 Dehydration is a leading cause related to wrinkles and fine lines. Lack of water in body
directly effect the skin and it look dry and rough, with prominent lines around your lips and
eyes. Niacinamide is derivative of vitamin B3. B-complex vitamins are known anti-oxidants
and many beauty related products contain their derivatives due to their anti-oxidant as
well as moisturising action. It helps reduce water loss in the skin and may improve skin
elasticity.

9. Hyaluronic Acid
 Hyaluronic acid is natural moisturiser and anti-dehydrating agent present in the skin.
Creams and lotions that contain hyaluronic acid help lock the under skin water and
protect it from dehydrating. Some researches also suggest that applying creams having its
derivatives (Allergan, Juvéderm Ultra Plus) along fine lines can reduce them for up to one
year.

10. Resveratrol
 It is plant derivative, found often in red wine. According to a report published in the journal
Cell Metabolism in 2008, it was found that this red wine ingredient has ability to slow down
age related decline. It is also effective in skin burns, skin ulcers, and healing wounds.

11. Some other important ingredients
 Coenzyme Q10, green, black or oolong tea extracts, Grape seed extract and vitamin C
serum are some other active ingredients of anti-aging creams that are known to protect
skin from sun damage, healing wounds, production of new collagen and due to their anti-
inflammatory properties.
