I’m 17 (almost 18) and I was wondering when I should add anti-aging cream to my skin regime. I have fine lines at the corner of my eyes and under my eyes from squinting a lot.

There are hundreds of anti-aging products on the drugstore shelves. All of the lotions, potions, creams, toners, moisturizers, and exfoliating for you skin have one thing in common and that is a hefty price tag. Why purchase anti aging lotions when you can make your own right in your kitchen?

Anti aging skin care products fall into several categories, cleaning or exfoliating, moisturizing, and repair. If you have a favorite commercial product that you like then read the label on the jar and look for the active ingredients. You man not know what Hydroquinone is or what it does but with a little research in the internet you can find out that it is used to reduce age spots on the skin by inhabiting melanin production. Melanin is the chemical in you skin that is responsible for tanning.

These days, anti aging creams seem to be the miracle solution for those concerned with turning back the clock to restore the glory days of their youth. The market is saturated with skin care products that promise to restore youth and vitality to your face by simply lathering on a cream. Some even go as far as touting their products as the miracle cure, the proverbial fountain of youth. But what do you really know about the best anti aging creams out there?

If you’re already using anti aging creams you would probably know how they work. But for the uninitiated, anti aging creams help reduce the signs of aging, but they do not remove wrinkles permanently. Anti aging creams work by removing the outer layer of dead skin and/or hydrate and plump up the skin, giving the appearance of smoother, firmer, more radiant skin with reduced wrinkles. However, after you’ve seen the results (usually within 30 days), should you choose to stop using the products, you’ll find that your wrinkles would have returned, so you would have no choice but to keep using the product continuously in your quest for youthful looking skin, while at the same time fattening the pockets of the product manufacturers, especially if you had been using an expensive, more popular brand of skin care. Even though you might think that you’re getting your money’s worth because the brand is so well established and thus is able to command a premium pricing on its products, did you know that the effectiveness of most of these branded products have not been scientifically studied and proven?

Ask any woman who has ever browsed the makeup and skin care aisles of the local pharmacy or retailer, and chances are she’ll admit that she would like to know just how do anti-aging creams work. They all promise to do so much – erase wrinkles, reduce puffiness and tiny lines, and restore skin’s youthful glow. And they usually promise to do all this with just a few applications! Are any of these claims true? If so, is there any difference between the many products? Yes, just how do anti-aging creams work, if at all?

The Ingredients Are Key

If a company really has the best anti-aging skin creams, it should have documented research to back up its claims.  If a company is going to charge hundreds of dollars for an anti-aging skin cream, they should be willing to fully disclose the ingredients, rather than using proprietary names.  If you’re like me, you want to know what’s really in there, before you buy. 

I’ve spent years evaluating different products, so that I could help people learn how to find the best anti-aging skin creams.  I got started after reading several reviews from women who had serious adverse reactions.  One woman’s face was permanently disfigured by an anti-aging skin cream and I am sure that she is not alone.

Do you want the best anti-aging skin creams? I’m sure that you do. Who would want to settle for the average anti-aging skin cream, when they could have something better? I doubt that anyone would, but most people do, because they don’t know what’s what. Here’s how to spot the pretenders.

If the advertising claims suggest that the product will provide instant results, then it is not one of the best anti-aging skin creams. It’s a cosmetic “trick”.

So do any of these anti-aging creams work at all? And what do they do exactly? The answer to if they work or not is yes, no and sort of all rolled into one.

There are literally thousands of different anti-aging creams on the market today. Since women are especially concerned with the effects of age to their skin, most of these anti-aging creams are marketed towards women, but many men have turned to their use as well.

Most of these anti-aging skin products will produce the appearance of reduced wrinkles, which can be noticeable in even just a few weeks of consistent use. However, there aren’t any known anti-aging creams that will actually eliminate wrinkles or otherwise permanently reverse aging effects to your skin.

You’ve probably heard this a million times, but I’m going to say it one more time…ignore advertising hype.

In order to find the best anti-aging skin creams, you have to ignore the hype.  Additionally, just because a celebrity endorses an anti-aging skin cream does not mean that he or she really uses it.  That celebrity is being paid for their work and the product they promote is more expensive as a result.

Avoid Designer Names
Designer names are another thing to avoid if you really want the best anti-aging skin creams.  Listen to this piece of interesting information.  In order to be even slightly competitive, the manufacturer has to reduce the number of active ingredients in order to cover the licensing fees for the designer name.  That makes me wonder…do you really think fashion designers know anything about anti-aging skin cream?  Probably not, because…

Ever since the time of ancient Egypt, men and women have been attempting to turn back the hands of time with anti-aging creams. The earliest skin treatment products from those ancient times most likely contained fine oils such as lanolin, as well as various herbal extracts. While they may have in fact had some effect on the skins surface, by smoothing out wrinkles. It wasn’t until recent times that anti-aging creams were made available that actually function below the skins surface.
