Searching for a really good anti wrinkle cream?  Let’s take a look at some skin care ingredients that can actually prevent and reverse wrinkles .

For decades , researchers have known that free radical damage can be prevented with antioxidants .  They also knew they had the potential to reverse it .  This is remarkably true with the use of natural skin care products.

Damage caused by free radicals , according to dermatologists , is one of the significant causes of the many signs of ageing.  Sagging skin, age spots, wrinkles, dryness, roughness , etc. 

It took lots of trials and lots of different antioxidants before before scientists found one that in truth worked, without causing irritation .  The easiest way to round up volunteers for the clinical trials was to seek out persons with skin already damaged by the sun . 

The symptoms of sun damaged skin are the same as those of aging skin.  It’s just that the people who experiencing the symptoms may be much younger.  Sun damage is actually free radical damage.

One of the first breakthroughs that scientists had came when tretinoin was found to be effectual for reducing wrinkles .  Tretinoin is a man-made form of retinol, otherwise known as vitamin A .  It was first designed as an acne treatment .

It is still not fully understood how tretinoin reduces wrinkles .  But, researchers think that it works because of its antioxidant activity. 

The drawbacks to the tretinoin anti wrinkle creams are significant .  First, it is only available with a Rx .  Second, it is very costly .  Third, it is known to cause itching, redness and irritation .  Many people never use it long enough to see results .

Comparative studies show that natural forms of retinol , such as exists in avocado extract and some other fruits and vegetables, are just as effective as tretinoin.   More importantly, the natural skin care forms do not cause any undesirable side effects.

But, scientists have found that the most potent antioxidant for the healing of sun damage, roughness, wrinkles, and other signs of aging is coenzyme Q10 .  When creams containing it are applied topically on a daily basis for three months , sun damage is healed by 30% . 

The CoenzymeQ10 particles must be reduced in size in order to make an effective anti wrinkle cream.  Nano-lipobelle HeQ10 particles are the form to look for.
