The Best Wrinkle Creams Contain No Petrochemicals or Synthetic Ingredients

best wrinkle creamsIdentifying the best wrinkle creams is not that difficult, once you know which ingredients to look for.  Obviously, you want a cream that contains proven effective ingredients, not one that has proven to cause allergic or adverse reactions.
All trans-retinue acid or Re tin-A has long been viewed as the most effective anti-wrinkle cream by dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons.  But, there are warning labels all over the bottle.  It is known to cause adverse reactions that include redness, itching and irritation.  There is concern that it may cause cellular mutations.  There’s also no reason to take the risk.
All trans-retinue acid is a synthetic acidic form of natural vitamin A.  It is created in the laboratory using petrochemicals.  This may be the reason for the adverse reactions.  It could be the acidic nature of the compound that causes redness, itching and irritation.  In its natural vegetable form, vitamin A is non-acidic.
Researchers have shown that plant extracts containing the naturally occurring form of vitamin A are just as effective as Re tin-A.  But, there is no risk of side effects.
The best wrinkle creams contain avocado oil because it is rich in vitamin A and other nutrients.  It is particularly beneficial when used at night and has been scientifically proven to stimulate collagen production.  Researchers have been able to measure an increase in the skin’s collagen content after just a few weeks of use.
A synthetic form of the antioxidant co enzyme Q10 has been developed and may soon be released.  You might wonder why companies choose to use synthetics when naturally occurring compounds are available.  The answer is simple.  Synthetics are cheaper.
Petrochemicals are byproducts created when petroleum is distilled and converted to gasoline.  They are very cheap and readily available.  Since they contain carbon, all kinds of molecules can be created from them.
