When shopping for anti-aging products and wrinkle creams, you cannot just buy the cheapest product on the shelf and expect it to work as well on your skin as the top name brand products. What is the difference? Some products have certain ingredients that have been proven to aid in the improvement of skin in various ways.

We took a close look at some of the most common ingredients of the best wrinkle cream products on the market, and discovered some surprising results. It turns out that the answer to the question, 'why are some wrinkle creams better than others' is that some ingredients work better than others.

Below is a list of the top six ingredients we found in the best wrinkle creams. All relate to age defiance. This information will ultimately assist consumers in purchasing wrinkle products by empowering consumers with the knowledge to see the genuine from the gimmick.

Retinol: This has been in wrinkle creams for years. This type of Vitamin A is even in today's products because it is proven to neutralize 'free radical' particles that break down your skin and cause aging signs.

Coenzyme Q10: This enzyme, natural, not manufactured, acts as a food for skin cells, aiding in the regulation of their energy production. Studies show it relaxes the small lines around the eyes by making the skin cells healthier.

Tea extract: this is one of the newest ingredients in wrinkle creams. Just like drinking tea provides you with antioxidants that help promote whole-body health, give you energy, and turn back the clock of aging, so too does using tea on your skin. Tea extracts also help reduce the inflammation that causes skin damage over time.

Alpha hydroxy: this is a mild acid that comes from fruit. It helps to strip away the very top-most layer of your skin (exfoliation) and therefore reveal the healthy beautiful skin underneath it. Exfoliation is great for our skin when we do it periodically, because it helps promote the growth of healthy skin and the removal of dead skin.

Copper Peptide: This nutrient is required by our body to stay healthy. Copper particles aid in the healing and regeneration of our skin. Environmental conditions, such as the Sun, can damage our skin and speed up aging. Copper particles help to heal from this damage.

Kinetin: existing naturally in all living things for growth, this substance is great for focusing on brown spots and wrinkles on the skin. Scientists believe that Kinetin promotes collagen growth and increases the speed of growth, healing and evening out wrinkles and age spots.
