How does an anti wrinkle skin care cream work? There’s actually a lot of science and research behind the best wrinkle remover creams, yet most of the ingredients come from nature.

As we age, we start to lose some of the things in our skin that give it a youthful glow and gain other things that we don’t want.

For example, we lose the collagen and elastin that give our skin its suppleness. We also lose a special acid in the skin called hyaluronic acid. This acid helps to hold the collagen and elastin fibers together.

Unfortunately, we gain damage from free radicals. These are molecules that have lost an electron through interaction with other molecules. This process damages cells, causing lines, wrinkles and sagging.

So most anti aging skin care creams try to reverse the effects of these losses and gains.

Nowadays, more and more manufacturers are turning to nature to find ingredients that will reduce the visible signs of aging.

To reduce the loss of collagen and elastin, the best anti wrinkle skin care products use a compound of keratin. This is a protein that holds the skin together. It comes from sheep’s wool and the best forms of it have been modified so that you can use it directly on your skin.

This is a special type of keratin that encourages your skin to regrow its own elastin and collagen. It’s impossible to achieve the same results by just adding collagen and elastin to the product–the molecules are too large to penetrate the skin.

To reduce the loss of hyaluronic acid and cell structure, a good anti wrinkle skin care cream would contain an extract of sea kelp. This extract helps to prevent the loss of hyaluronic acid and so keeps the skin’s cell structure in good shape.

To combat those free radicals, you need a strong antioxidant. A good one is derived from an enzyme that occurs in every cell in the body. This enzyme diminishes as we age but a special preparation of it can work wonders when applied externally to the face.
