According to the Merck Online Medical Library, there are a number of products that can help improve the appearance of the skin and lessen the prominence of thin wrinkles on the face. While deep wrinkles or pronounced skin damage may require medical treatment, alpha and beta hydroxy acids and creams containing tretinoin can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Creams that contain antioxidants can also help reverse damage to the skin and smooth wrinkles.
Oil of Olay Age Defying Wrinkle Cream
Meant to be used overnight, this cream is not only effective, it's a good value at around $7 to $8 an ounce in 2009. The cream contains beta hydroxy acids, which help strip the top layer of dead skin from the affected area. It also includes the important ingredient Retinol. According to Vitamins-nutrition.org, Retinol (also known as Vitamin A) is necessary to grow and restore the skin. This wrinkle cream also moisturizes and provides Vitamin E.
Clarin's Multi Active Day Cream
This wrinkle cream is less of a bargain, at around $50 for two ounces. Clarin's contains many antioxidants. According to the National Institutes of Health, antioxidants help protect the cells of your body against free radicals, which are molecules that damage cells. Skin damage from free radicals can be caused by exposure to things like the sun and tobacco smoke. This day cream seeks to reverse that damage.
Pond's Time Rewind Overnight Wrinkle Cream
Like the Oil of Olay wrinkle cream, this brand is a good value--around $25 for two ounces in 2009. It contains alpha hydroxy acids to strip away the top layer of the skin. The product also includes collagen, which is thought to firm up the skin. It's enriched with antioxidants to take care of free radicals, and also includes a variety of moisturizers that will help keep your skin from drying out.
