Points for the Best Wrinkle Cream

By Jen Hopkins

If you want to find out if what you're using is the best wrinkle cream in the market, it would not be as easy as going to a research institute. The FDA for example, considers wrinkle creams and gels, and lotions to be cosmetics, therefore, will not be included in those products strictly regulated. They will not be rigorously tested for effectiveness, safety, and other factors before we purchase them from markets.

The only time the FDA would intrude into the market of cosmetics is when false claims are made or when there are certain ingredients which have been proven to be hazardous or are potentially dangerous to the consumers. Because of this, it is very difficult to identify the best wrinkle creams if we are fully dependent on results made by health organizations. This puts extra responsibility for the consumers to identify for themselves what works for them.

So to set a system, what factors should we look for in identifying the best wrinkle or eye cream for our skin? Here are points that could help with your search for youthful and supple skin:

Price: The most expensive eye cream is not necessarily the best eye cream. The same goes for wrinkle creams. There are many fair-priced creams in the market that work twice as better as the most expensive one. It's all just a matter of finding out from yourselves, or from friends.

Doses: Active ingredients doses vary between prescription and non-prescription wrinkle creams. Prescription creams contain higher doses of active ingredients, and less for the latter. This difference is a consideration for the sensitivity of the skin, or the extremity of your problems. Find out what type of skin you have before even looking at the ingredients.

Recent research: Most wrinkle creams have their own specialized researches. However, this is not guaranteed to be objective, as this is most commonly conducted in their own labs. There are however, constant researches on wrinkle cream ingredients. This is more credible, and is a better basis for your hunt for the best anti aging cream.

Regular Use: Wrinkle eye creams and other anti aging creams should be used regularly, around once or twice a day before any improvements are noticed. Discontinuing use will obviously cease the effects, and will cause the skin to return to its original appearance.

Side Effects: The typical side effects of wrinkle creams are rashes, redness, burning sensations, or pimples. Before you experience any of these, be sure to test the wrinkle cream first. It is advised you apply it on the inner portion of your arm and cease use if you notice any adverse effects.
