You won't find the best wrinkle remover on sale here at this website. But, if you read this article, you will learn how to evaluate anti-aging, anti-wrinkle creams on your own by answering a couple of simple questions.

I'm assuming that you are not interested in cosmetic surgery or Botox injections. My advice is to try one of the better anti-aging creams first. If you do decide to invest in an expensive cosmetic procedure, continue to use the anti-aging cream to help preserve the procedure's effects. Now, here's the first question.

How Much Does it Cost?

The most expensive creams rarely contain the most effective ingredients. The price tag is frequently due to a designer name or a costly advertising campaign.

The cheapest ones contain a lot of inactive fillers and synthetic chemicals. If petrolatum is listed on the label of ingredients, you can rest assured that it will not be effective. In fact, it may actually make your skin look worse.

You want something that is moderate in price, far less than the $100 per ounce you would pay for some creams, but a little more than you would pay for a moisturizer in a discount department store.

What are the Active Ingredients?

The best wrinkle remover that I have found contains a number of active ingredients. The average anti-aging cream on the market contains one or two. One or both of them is usually a sunscreen.

Sunscreens may provide health benefits if you spend a great deal of time in direct sunlight by filtering out harmful UVA and UVB rays. But, the effectiveness of sunscreen ingredients for that purpose varies greatly and that is their only "activity".

They are all meant to be reapplied on a regular basis, which is not something you would normally do with a facial cream. So, there is really no benefit to including a sunscreen ingredient in a facial moisturizer.

The best wrinkle remover according to several scientific studies is a reduced form of coenzyme Q10. It works because of its antioxidant activity.

Antioxidants work to prevent and repair free radical damage, one of the primary causes of skin aging. Coenzyme Q10 is a unique antioxidant that is naturally present in the skin, but is quickly depleted during sun exposure. The studies have also found that the antioxidant can reverse sun damage.

It's the best wrinkle remover, because it reduces their depth by about 30% after three months of daily use. It is not the only active ingredient to look for. There are many others. A lot depends on when the face cream is to be used.

A day cream should contain grape seed oil as the base moisturizer. A night cream should contain Shea butter and avocado oil. The two moisturizers are a little thicker and heavier, which makes them better suited for nighttime use. All of those natural oils have antioxidant activity, as well.

There are other questions to consider if you want the best wrinkle remover. The two above are simply the most important.
