Get That Young Looking Skin Back

By Amanda Lyon

In just two months, antiaging wrinkle creams vow to have age-defying results and a skin free of wrinkles. What is real and what isn't in this case? Time will be the judge of that.

Pentapeptide compounds are believed to be able to help dermis create more collagen. When it comes to the firmness of the skin, collagen plays a very important role. Thus, a cream that increases levels of collagen has the same results as a filling shot. Despite these promises, no medical study has shown so far that collagen production beneath the skin is influenced in any way by topical creams that contain pentapeptides.

Even so, the antiaging crusade doesn't stop here. Palmitoyl pentapeptide and argireline, two types of pentapeptides, are believed to raise the production of collagen and to loosen up the tensing motion of the muscles. Argireline manufacturers say it has a comparable effect to Botox. Injecting Botox into an area leads to the damage of a protein that is responsible with keeping the muscles tensed in that area, which causes the wrinkle to form. Argireline basically hinders the action of that protein. In this case too, dermatologists are skeptical.

One of the most famous products to match up against aging skin is pretty old itself, which comes as a paradox. Having been present on the antiaging creams market for more than twenty years, prescription retinoids are one of the best choices in this field. Not only do they contribute to the production of collagen but also speed the shedding of dead skin cells and fade spots. And so you will get youthful looking, plumper and wrinkle-free skin. However, the constant use of retinoids is a divisive concern in the skin care arena. Skin doctors warn that they can cause irritation, inflammation and that there are patients intolerant to retionoids. It is imperative to take advice from a doctor before applying topical retionoids, especially since its effects during pregnancy is subject to heated debates. That is why expectant moms are advised not to use it!

The jury needs time to deliberate on antiaging wrinkle creams.. For the moment, it is your choice! Make your choice smartly, weighing the pros and cons, and never give in to empty promises and unproven claims. Develop an antiaging skin care regimen early in your life, your late 20s if possible, and be kind to your skin. It won't be until much later that we will find out if today's antiaging products defied the passing of time and won the battle of endless beauty.
