Do Wrinkle Creams Work Against UV Light?

Do wrinkle creams work to protect against UV light?  That’s a new question.  Most people just want to know if a cream can really get rid of wrinkles.  Here’s why you should care about the protection of UV, even if all you thought you cared about were wrinkles.
UV rays are the invisible ones.  U VB causes sunburns.  You can usually tell when you have had too much of it, because your skin gets red and hot.
OVA causes hyper pigmentation, age spots, wrinkles and skin cancer.  You can’t always tell when you have had too much OVA.  We don’t even know how much is too much.
Many of the anti-aging lotions on the market have an SPF rating, which customers think show how beneficial they are in protecting against UV light.  The SPF rating has nothing to do with OVA, only U VB.  The letters stand for “sunburn protection factor”.
New research published just this month shows that many of the lotions do not provide protection against OVA.  Companies are not required to back up their claims for OVA protection, even if they decide to mention it.
So, do wrinkle creams work to protect against UV light?  They may provide some protection against U VB and burning, but they do not help reduce your risk of wrinkles or skin cancer.
When it comes to effectiveness, sunscreens do nothing to reverse wrinkles.  In many cases, the only active ingredients listed on those bottles are sunscreens.
We really need two products.  These are my suggestions for women.
To help prevent and reverse wrinkles, apply a daily moisturizer that contains co enzyme Q10, natural vitamin E, keratin and grape seed oil.
