Most of the anti wrinkle cream products have the same basic constituents, which are known to reduce wrinkles in the skin. The hydroxyl acid derivatives are commonly used in all the anti wrinkle creams.
Alpha hydroxyl acid, beta hydroxyl acid and poly hydroxyl acid are synthetic versions of acids derived from fruits that contain sugar. These acids act as exfoliates. Exfoliates are substances that are known to remove the upper layer of old dead skin and stimulate the growth of smooth, evenly pigmented new skin. Due to the fact that the hydroxyl acids increase the skin’s susceptibility to sun damage, it is always prudent to wear sunscreen while using products with hydroxyl acids, and for at least a week afterwards.
Coenzyme Q10 is another product, which is present in most of the anti wrinkle products. Coenzyme Q10 is a nutrient that helps to regulate energy production in the skin cells. They are effective to reduce wrinkles around the eyes.
