Before you shop for premier anti aging products, take the time to read this article. The advice is free and it won’t take a lot of your time.

Research has shown that most of the anti-wrinkle creams on the market have very little effect. But, they have also found that certain “compounds” are very effective. If you know which compounds have proven to be effective in independent studies (not just the studies conducted by the manufacturers), then you know what to look for when you go shopping.

You will still have to read the label of ingredients. That much is up to you. But, this article will give you a list of those proven effective compounds.

Coenzyme Q10

You have probably heard of COQ10. It is recommended as a heart healthy supplement. People taking statin drugs for cholesterol control need it.

Scientist had to come up with a slightly different formula in order to make it beneficial for skin health. While many tiny chemicals can pass through the skin’s outer layers, most nutrients can’t get past the top.

Using nano-technology, they were able to come up with a formula to include in premier anti aging products. Nanometers are particles one-billionth of a meter in size. Nanometer-sized particles of COQ10 will penetrate the skin.

What’s the purpose? What’s it good for?

The sun is one of the major causes of wrinkles and other age-related problems, because of the oxidation that it causes. COQ10 is an antioxidant present in all of the skin’s cells. During exposure to sunlight, the skin’s COQ10 levels decline drastically. After applying this nano-emulsion form of COQ10 to volunteer’s faces, researchers were literally amazed at the difference.

The particles went to working reversing oxidation and preventing more from occurring. After three months of use, people with serious amounts of sun damage and wrinkles saw a 30% improvement in their overall appearance.

Wakame Kelp Extracts

Kelp might not sound like a good ingredient for premier anti aging products. But, the extracts are rich in vital nutrients that protect against sun damage and another cause of an aged appearance. That cause is reduced hyaluronic acid levels.

Hyaluronic acid is one of the things that make the skin soft and smooth. As we age the amount present drops significantly due to the activity of a pesky enzyme. The nutrients in wakame inhibit the enzymatic activity. After just a few days of use, hyaluronic acid levels rise to that of a much younger person.

Grape Seed Oil

Grape seed oil should be in all premier anti aging products. It is one of the most antioxidant-rich oils. It is well accepted by the skin. So it moisturizes without causing greasiness. It also works to lock in moisture, which is a big benefit. Excessive dryness causes more wrinkling.

Others

Another proven effective compound is CYNERGY TK, which contains an active protein called Functional Keratin. It has been shown to increase the skin’s firmness and elasticity by over 40% after just a few weeks of use.

Avocado extract increases the skin’s collagen content. Shea butter reduces wrinkling and roughness. Those two are usually found in premier anti aging products for use at night. The first three can be found in the better body lotions and day creams.
