Wrinkle creams are a necessity for those of us seeking to win the battle against obvious aging.

While some creams boast strong “anti-aging” results, they may not deliver what you expected.

Before you spend money and find yourself disappointed, there is something VERY important to consider.

Certain ingredients are powerful anti-aging allies. It is these ingredients you should be on the lookout for when considering a wrinkle cream.

You may want to write these wrinkle-fighters down before shopping for new creams.

Green and White Tea Mixture

We often hear about all the amazing health benefits of green tea, but you may not know that white tea is considered an amazing anti-aging ingredient as well.

The two are said to be rich in antioxidants known as EGCG. These antioxidants increase the rate that old cells are replaced with new ones, an important contribution to a youthful appearance.

Though green and white tea are awesome apart, you’ll get the best results with wrinkle creams that feature both.

Resveratrol

Recent studies suggest that resveratrol could be a highly effective ingredient for combating the signs of aging.

It’s a substance mainly found in grapes, red wine, and even nuts.

The reason people are so convinced of its wrinkle-fighting abilities is because it’s believed to affect enzymes known as sirtuins. These enzymes are involved in the aging process.

Resveratrol is even thought to help relieve symptoms from certain age-related diseases!

Pomegranates

You may not know this but pomegranates are a great wrinkle cream ingredient, largely because the fruit is packed with Vitamin C.

This vitamin is crucial for undoing the sun-related skin damage that often prematurely ages the skin.

It also contains properties known to increase collagen in the skin and fight off free radicals.

Polyhydroxy Acid

Though alpha-hydroxyacids or AHA is a somewhat heavily promoted skin care ingredient, not as much attention is paid to polyhydroxy acid or PHA.

Research has shown that a PHA skin care regimen can have anti-aging benefits. Apparently with far less irritation than experienced by AHA.

Ginger

Though ginger boasts enough health benefits to put it firmly in the “superfood” category, it also has certain qualities which make it an ideal choice for wrinkle creams.

The food contains gingerol, an antioxidant that is said to eliminate free radicals. It’s also said to promote a more even skin tone while cutting down on collagen breakage.

If you find wrinkle creams containing the above, you’ll probably be very satisfied with your efforts to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and those dreaded “crows feet”.

Are there any other wrinkle cream ingredients you’d recommend? What have YOU had success with?
