You have been using an anti wrinkle cream religiously and it seems as if your wrinkles are still there. What is wrong? Do anti aging eye creams not work? The answer is that anti wrinkle creams really do work but you need to ensure that the creams you buy have the correct ingredients. Retinol is one important ingredient because it seeks out free radicals and neutralizes them. Hydroxy acids are also important ingredients because they help exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. This means old skin is washed off and new skin grows in its place. Coenzyme Q10 is an excellent ingredient if you are focusing on the fine wrinkles around your eyes. This cream has held up in studies and it really does reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Kinetin is also an important skin care ingredient that helps with wrinkles. Scientists are not quite sure why it works but just that it does. Green tea and other tea extracts are great as well because they have antioxidants. Keep in mind the cream you buy will not have all of these ingredients and in fact it may only have one or two of these. That is fine just make sure that the cream you buy has shown in studies that it really does reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
