Finding your anti-ageing facial treatment is not easy. It is something similar to the search for the elixir of eternal youth. At a given moment, a certain product may work well for you but, over time, our skin changes and it is possible that what worked for you before may not turn out to be as effective now. There are some ingredients in wrinkle creams that make them more effective.
By this, we do not mean that facials that do not contain any of these compounds are not effective. Simply, we present a few ingredients of anti-wrinkle creams that have shown effectiveness in the fight against ageing.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is an active nutraceutical that is becoming more and more common. It is a polysaccharide that is part of the synovial fluid of the joints, as a lubricant and shock absorber. It is also present in the epidermis, where it acts as a powerful water attractor. Thus, thanks to the lubrication of collagen fibres, it promotes skin hydration and provides greater firmness.
Glycolic acid
It is a natural ingredient, as it comes from sugar cane. An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), with a smaller molecular chain, allows them to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin more quickly. It is also a powerful moisturiser. In other words, glycolic acid prevents premature ageing of the skin, reducing wrinkles and expression lines and favouring the natural regeneration process of the epidermis. Not all skins support it, so if you dare to include it in your anti-ageing routine, start with low concentrations.
Red Vine
This compound usually appears by its scientific name Vitis vinifera. It is an extract rich in polyphenols, such as resveratrol, which performs antioxidant and vagotonic actions. It protects against the oxidation of free radicals produced by solar radiation and stimulates cell renewal. In addition, it favours the production of collagen and elastin, preventing ageing.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C protects cells against oxidative damage and, therefore, from the action of free radicals. Thus, it prevents the appearance of wrinkles and other symptoms of skin ageing. Also, it favours the formation of collagen, which contributes to the normal functioning of blood vessels, skin, cartilage, gums and teeth. In addition, it provides a lot of light.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is also responsible for protecting cells against oxidative damage. It is a powerful anti-ageing active ingredient, increasingly present in the composition of anti-wrinkle treatments.
When choosing an anti-wrinkle cream, these are your best allies if you are looking to improve skin tone and act against the signs of ageing.
