Top Anti-Wrinkle Creams

According to the Mayo Clinic, while anti-wrinkle creams might not create drastic changes in the appearance of your face, over-the-counter creams (OTC) have been shown to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The Mayo Clinic recommends looking for wrinkle creams with ingredients like kinetin (a plant growth factor), copper peptides, tea extracts and retinol (a Vitamin A compound).

Rejuvenex

A 2-oz. jar of Rejuvenex boasts ingredients like Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. The manufacturer recommends that this cream be used for especially dry, wrinkled or damaged skin. The cream also includes kinetin. The Mayo Clinic points out that this potent antioxidant helps skin retain moisture and stimulates the production of collagen.

RoC Retinol Correxion Night Cream

RoC Retinol Correxion Night Cream is meant to be used for deep or pronounced wrinkles and is applied before you go to bed. The key ingredient in this cream is Retinol. According to the Mayo Clinic, this substance is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in the affected skin. These free radicals are unstable. When they break down, they cause damage to skin cells and leave wrinkles.

Carol Cole Anti-Aging Cream

The key ingredient in Carol Cole Anti-Aging Cream is alpha hydroxy acid and is meant to be used twice a day. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydroxy acid is a synthetically derived acid derived from fruits. These acids remove the upper layer of dead, unattractive skin and stimulate the growth of healthy new skin. The Mayo Clinic recommends using a sunscreen when using products that contain hydroxy acid, as it increases your suceptibility to sun damage. Carol Cole's anti-aging cream contains a 15-SPF sunscreen.
