From my experience I have seen that many people simply don't know what to look for as ingredients in anti aging cosmetics products because they don't know what causes wrinkles in the first place. The best anti wrinkle creams focus on the three key areas that need improvement in order to produce younger looking skin.

Most people assume that what causes wrinkles has something to do with the skin itself, but that is only partly true. This is why products for exfoliation or peels have become so popular. These products are not at all good for your skin though, and they only offer you a temporary aesthetic solution at best.

The problems lie for the most part under and deep within your skin. These are basically a breakdown in the production rate of tissues, acids, and cells. The best anti wrinkle creams will work to halt the declining production rates, and to repair this cellular damage.

Let's look at what causes wrinkles to appear due tissue loss first. Collagen and elastin production begins to decline by the time that you are around thirty. The loss of this hardy tissue is what causes our skin to begin to sag and wrinkle, because it is losing its supportive structure.

The best anti wrinkle creams contain something called Functional Keratin, which will increase your production rate to the point that it will return to nearly the level at which it was at its highest. This will give the skin back its underpinnings, and you will see marked improvement in the way that your skin looks.

What causes wrinkles is also the loss of hyaluronic acid in your skin, but it is not due to a production problem. It is due to enzymes called hyaluronidase which degrades the acid over time. We need this acid because it is heavily involved in tissue repair.

The best anti wrinkle creams will in addition to Functional Keratin a Japanese kelp extract called Phytessence Wakame. This extract has a way of rendering the hyaluronidase enzymes impotent, which allows your hyaluronic acid levels to skyrocket to the levels that you held long ago.

The next answer to what causes wrinkles is oxidation due to exposure to UV radiation. This exposure causes the formation of free radicals, which attack our bodies on a cellular level, greatly damaging our skin. There is an answer for this dilemma also.

The best anti wrinkle creams will also contain powerful antioxidants such as Cynergy TK, which is made up of proteins and enzymes. Cynergy TK is supported by active New Zealand Manuka honey, Avocado oil, Grape seed oil, Natural vitamin E, and CoQ10, all potent antioxidants in their own right.

Now you know what causes wrinkles, and you know the exact ingredients that you need in order for your skin care program to be effective. With the right line of products, you can have the younger looking, healthy skin that you desire in the span of just a few short weeks. Now that you have the knowledge, it's up to you to use it.
