Over-the-Counter Anti Aging Skin Care Products
Friday, June 18th, 2010
Dermatologists often compare the effectiveness of over-the-counter anti aging skin care products to the effectiveness of Retin-A, the only prescription anti-wrinkle cream. Until recently, there was no comparison.
Nothing worked as well as Retin-A for people who could get beyond the unwanted side effects. Those include redness, itching and irritation. Burning is yet another side effect many people experience. The burning is usually the hardest for people to deal with.
They may be able to deal with a little redness or even some itching, but burning is another issue entirely. It’s painful. The natural reaction is to want to rinse it off as quickly as possible.
No one is sure why Retin-A … Read Full Article
A Natural Wrinkle Cream That Can Reverse Wrinkles
Monday, June 14th, 2010
A natural wrinkle cream was recently shown to reverse wrinkles by 30%. Another has been proven to improve the skin’s elasticity by over 40%. Yet, studies conducted by independent researchers have shown that most creams provide a 10% improvement at best. Why settle for 10% when you can get three or four times that much?
The real question to ask is why cosmetic manufacturers would choose to use compounds that would provide no more than a 10% improvement. Why wouldn’t all companies include the ingredients that provide a 30-40% improvement?
The answer to that question comes down to costs and profits. In order to make more profits, but continue to keep the … Read Full Article

Saturday, May 29th, 2010
It can take time to fill in wrinkles without injections, depending on the wrinkle depth. Fine lines may fade relatively quickly if the right anti-aging moisturizer is used on a daily basis. Deeper lines will appear less deep, but it usually takes several months to see a noticeable difference.

Who Makes the Strongest Wrinkle Cream?
Saturday, May 22nd, 2010
Who makes the strongest wrinkle cream?
That’s a subject of some debate, if you are speaking in terms of effectiveness.
A dermatologist would likely suggest trans-retinoic acid, aka Retin-A, which is now made by many companies.
A natural health expert would recommend against the use of that product, because it is a synthetic form of vitamin A.
Any health expert might recommend against it, because vitamin A is toxic in large doses. It would never be recommended for someone with sensitive skin, because it causes redness, itching and irritation.
One of the ways that wrinkles can be repaired is to induce minor damage. Lasers are used during in-office treatments and acidic creams … Read Full Article
The Best Skin Gel for Wrinkles has Natural Anti-Inflammatories
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
The best skin gel for wrinkles is one that is free of cancer-causing substances, toxins, allergens and irritants. That’s not just my opinion. There are many environmental and public safety groups that agree.
Those ingredients should not be included in any kind of cosmetic, but it is particularly counter-productive when they are including in anti-aging creams. Free radical damage and chronic inflammation are among the causes of an aged appearance. Cancer-causing substances and toxins cause free radical damage. Allergens and irritants cause inflammation.
What you want to look for are gels and lotions that contain natural anti-inflammatories and natural antioxidants. Don’t be fooled by the advertising claims. Artificial preservatives are technically antioxidants. … Read Full Article
Is Retin-A or Tretinoin the Best Thing for Wrinkles?
Friday, May 14th, 2010
For many years, dermatologists have said that tretinoin is the best thing for wrinkles.
New studies may help them change their minds. Here’s a look at what tretinoin is and how it can be beat.
In most areas, it is marketed as Retin-A, one of the few prescription anti-wrinkle creams in the world and the only one currently available in the US.
When you find out what it is, you might at first be shocked that it is only available with a prescription. But, there are reasons for that.
Retin-A or tretinoin is actually a synthetic form of vitamin A (retinol), an essential nutrient. Our bodies can get vitamin A in … Read Full Article
Tips on Choosing an Anti Wrinkle Cream that is Safe & Effective
Saturday, May 8th, 2010
From anti wrinkle cream to age spot remover and everything in between, you will find products being sold on the internet that, if the advertising claims are true, will make your skin look younger, brighter, smoother and more radiant than ever before. And, of course, all of this has been proven in clinical studies.
It pays to be skeptical about advertising claims. Not just because you could avoid wasting money, but also because you could avoid a bad reaction. Some of the ingredients that cosmetic companies love to use are so bad that they should actually be called aging anti creams.
Petrolatum and mineral oil are among the best-loved cosmetic ingredients. Yet, … Read Full Article
What is Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10?
Saturday, April 24th, 2010Many consumers work hard at staying current and informed about cosmetic breakthroughs. If you are one of them, you probably have heard about Coenzyme Q10.
Coenzyme Q10 is a substance very similar to a vitamin which is an intrinsic part of every cell in our bodies. It is found in greater quantities in the mitochondria (a membrane enclosed organelle that generates the energy necessary for the cell to stay alive).
The amount of CoQ10 in our cells decreases as we get older as well as when we are under stress. As a result, our cells lose their capacity for renewal, which is an important requirement for healthy skin.
Scientists have recently discovered … Read Full Article
