The bad news is, no matter how genetically blessed you may be, you’re eventually going to start seeing fine wrinkles appearing on your face. Smile lines, crow’s feet and light forehead creases happen to everyone over time. The good news is that there are dozens of popular wrinkle products for you to help treat these signs of aging. And we’re not just talking about expensive doctor’s office procedures like Botox. Products like Strivectin and the Meaningful Beauty line are just a few of the many wrinkle treatment options that are now available to you. Mainstream cosmetics manufacturers like La Mer and HTY Gold have even entered the wrinkle treatment arena, as has Olay, with both their Olay Regenerist product and their Definity Olay product. Popular ingredients such as Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid and Argireline are all being combined in new and potentially potent formulas. But how do you know which product will get results and which is a waste of money? We’ve reviewed everything from Amatokin to Youthology, and written up our findings in quick, easy-to-compare reviews so that our readers can quickly educate themselves and make up their own minds when it comes to product shopping.
It’s important to know what you’re shopping for, though, which is why we feel that browsing our Wrinkle Cream Reviews can be so beneficial. A product like Hydrolyze is specifically formulated to treat complexion flaws under the eyes, but will not help with other areas of the face. Many product lines, such as Hydroxatone, Resurgence, Lifestyle Lift and Roc Skin Care have been developed by well-known doctors and dermatologists based on their own experience with wrinkle fighting. Other products, such Caracol Cream and Dermasilk, are specifically formulated with a woman’s skin type in mind, and wouldn’t be very suitable for a man to use.
While French brands have always been associated with beauty and cosmetics, there are now some interesting and popular offerings from other countries, such as DHC Skincare, which is imported from Japan. Other new treatments such as Genisphere and Lifecell attempt to capitalize on ahead-of-the-curve technology, such as stem cell research, and apply it to fighting wrinkles. However, some experts feel that it’s still too soon to tell how reliable these treatments might be. Then we see products like Jane Seymour’s Natural Advantage that seem fundamentally tied to the image of their celebrity endorser. And if you’re looking for something a bit more unusual, there is the Derma Wand, which is actually a device that focuses electricity to “zap” wrinkles, or the Youthful Essence home microdermabrasion kit, which claims to reproduce spa quality treatment results at home.
Some products, like Dermitage, make dramatic product claims, like being able to reduce wrinkles in just 10 minutes after application. Then there are protective products such as Nia 24, which claims to protect the skin from damaging free radicals for a full 24 hours. It’s important to keep in mind that protection and treatments are two different skin care areas. For those who are comfortable with the idea of injections, there are now rival injectable wrinkle fillers like Juvederm, Evolence, which is another European import recently approved in the US, and Artefill, which claims to work long after the actual injection. But many readers will probably opt for something less drastic, such as a selection from the Lift-sp line, or one of the Youthful Essence products. Some topical treatments like Thermage and Prevage are also only available through a physician.
Of course, there are some popular wrinkle fighters produced in the US too. Treatments like iq Derma from California and the technology-heavy Remergent line both have their devoted group of dedicated users. Another very unusual product with its own fan base is Dermu Oil, which is formulated around oil extracted from the Australian Emu bird (not a product for animal rights activists, for obvious reasons.) Many brands, such as Epicuren, actually put out a whole product range, not just one product. The choice can be nice, but it can also be confusing to figure out which one is the right fit for you. Other lines, such as Athena 7 Minute Lift and Cerave offer only one of two, very specific products. Collagen is also a big featured ingredient in wrinkle fighting these days, and products such as Hydroderm feature collagen prominently. Alternatively, lines like Revive have unique patented ingredients which they claim are the real trick to getting rid of wrinkles.
This is just a quick run down of some of our most popular wrinkle reviews. Of course, we have hundreds more, if none of these sound like the skin care solution for you.
