Finding a high quality anti aging skin care product that is really effective can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Many anti aging skin care products do not perform as promised.

Some of them only moisturize and several are not even very good at that.

Recently we looked at the customer reviews for a popular anti aging skin care product sold on Home Shopping Network.

The “collagen kit” as it is called was supposed to remove fine lines, lessen wrinkles, enhance the lips and soften crow’s feet around the eyes.

We didn’t find a single person that was satisfied with these anti aging skin care products.

And, I believe I know why.

First of all, the Home Shopping Network is great for jewelry, clothing and similar items.

But, when you are looking for an anti aging skin care product, you have to be able to read the fine print.

You should be able to answer these questions: What are the ingredients? What are the guarantees? What research do they have to back up their claims? Why does it cost so much?

If you skip the homework, you will end up dissatisfied and possibly with more skin problems than you had before.

Ingredients to Avoid

Purified water is often the primary ingredient in anti aging skin care products and cosmetics of all types.

It’s fine, but it doesn’t “do” anything for you.

Alcohols of various types are usually listed. Ethanol, ethyl, methanol, benzyl and isopropyl are all forms of alcohol and they are all drying.

The collagen fiber that many companies list as an ingredient in their anti aging skin care product line is derived from cow skin and is ineffective.

We all have collagen and elastin in our skin.

As we age, we lose collagen due to the sun, the wind and other environmental factors.

Cow collagen can not replace what we have lost.

It works in injections in sort of the same way that you would blow up a balloon. It does not work in creams.

Parabens are preservatives that a company may still use in anti aging skin care product, even though they have been banned in several countries, because they are believed to drive cancer tumor growth.

Diethanolamine, monoethanolamine and triethananolamine or the abbreviations DEA, MEA and TEA are sometimes used in anti aging skin care products to adjust pH levels, even though they too are believed to cause cancer and there use is restricted in Europe and many countries around the world.

Dioxane is another cancer causing ingredient that you may see.

It is sometimes used to make harsh ingredients milder.

Ingredients to Look For in an Anti Aging Skin Care Product

Cynergy TK is a patented form of keratin which has been shown in clinical trials to stimulate collagen growth, regenerate elastin and increase production of new skin-cells.

Wakame is a type of sea kelp that is clinically proven to increase levels of hyaluronic acid to those of a much younger person, thus improving elasticity, reducing bags and healing dryness and irritation.

Nano-lipobelle H EQ10 is an emulsion of vitamin E and COQ10, which is used by skin-cells to counter the effects of the sun and oxidative stress.

Stearyl and cetearyl waxes keep moisture in and create a fine thin coating that protects your face from further damage.

Only the best anti aging skin care products contain all of these ingredients.

Cost and Guarantees

Anti aging skin care products that are highly advertised or have celebrity endorsements cost more, not because of the quality ingredients they contain, but because the majority of their budget goes to pay for commercials.

COQ-10 is an expensive ingredient, but if not properly combined with vitamin E, it cannot be absorbed through the pores.

If the company does not guarantee your satisfaction, look for one that will.

The best anti aging skin care product that we have seen offers a full 90 day satisfaction guarantee.

Take the time to read the ingredients and look for the best.

Now that you know this, it would be a good idea to start looking for an anti aging skin care product that uses scientifically proven ingredients that help promote a healthy and youthful appearance for you.

An anti-aging skin cream must do four things to make your skin healthy and radiant. 1. Grow new collagen; 2. Produce more elastin; 3. Promote healthy skin cells and, 4. Encourage new fibers.  One problem is that most anti aging skin creams do not have the ingredients to do this.  Applying some animal collagen will not give the desired results. Let me show you how you can  get new, beautiful and younger looking skin.

An anti aging cream that you probably haven’t heard about has been created. . It is new and revolutionary.  This is  because it works where no other skin care product has before. What it does is help your body produce the growth of new collagen, new skin cells and elastin. When your body produces new collagen. elastin and cells, wrinkles slowly disappear.

Skin’s Building Blocks

Different types of protein make up the skin’s building blocks.  Keratin is one that is very important.  Some anti aging skin cream products say they have keratin.   But keratin cannot be absorbed into the skin if it is not made right or it comes from the wrong place. For an anti aging cream to work it needs the right kind of keratin. What is the right kind of keratin?

Functional Keratin

 It’s called Cynergy TK.  It has “functional keratin”.  It is called such because it works or functions beautifully in anti aging cream.  It is patented so very few companies have the real keratin.  They only have a cheap ineffective imitation.  I found the one that everyone would like to have.  But again only a few do.

Wakame Seaweed

 Another ingredient that anti aging creams should have in them is Wakame.  Wakame is from the Sea of Japan.  It is sea kelp that is loaded with calcium, iron, sodium, potassium and B vitamins.

Wakame was originally used as a food in Japan and still is. It was also used by women on their faces.  As a result smooth and younger looking faces.   An analysis was done on Wakame and it was found that a component in it inhibits hyaluronidase.  Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid which is one of the protein building blocks of skin.

 Wakame used regularly causes the skin’s protein levels to increase to that of a person of lesser age.  In addition it is a good antioxidant that fights free radicals.

Antioxidants

 As you know antioxidants get rid of free radicals that can cause damage to our skin cells resulting in wrinkles. So having them in anti aging skin creams is a logical choice.

 Skin creams should contain antioxidants like wakame, vitamin E and CoQ10. Of course, these ingredients need to be natural, not some cheap imitation.

Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10

Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 is a special ‘nano-emulsion’ form of CoQ10, which PENETRATES DEEPLY into your skin. Nano-lipobelle is created in such a way that it will penetrate through seven layers of skin.  It contains both COQ10 and vitamin E in a special emulsion created specially for use as an anti-aging skin cream

Ingredients to Avoid

Here’s some of the things that an anti-aging skin cream should not contain:

-alcohol because it is drying.(stearyl and cetearyl alcohol is fine because they are   waxes and have nothing in common with the alcohols such as  ethanol, ethyl   alcohol, methanol, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl  alcohol and SD alcohol.)

-fragrance because it can be irritating.

-sunscreen because it alone does not reduce the risk of skin cancer and some  compounds are hazardous.

-parabens because they are cancer causing suspects.

-paraffin wax or mineral oil because they clog the pores and strip natural oils, leading  to dryness. 

Natural ingredients is all that should be in anti aging creams.  Our skin absorbs almost everything that touches it.  That means it could go into our bloodstream. What anti aging cream will you now use? -Margaret Bell
