Anti wrinkle creams are a mixed bag. It seems that there isn't any product that is a one size fits all panacea for people wanting to look younger. For example, here are some reviews from users of the hottest selling anti wrinkle cream on one of the popular retail websites.
One user said they like this product because it is very light and does not leave an oily feeling on their face after applying it. Furthermore, they enjoy the anti wrinkle cream because it does not have any strong smells. If you read the very next review, you will see that that individual claims they don't like the very same anti wrinkle cream because it has an extremely strong smell that bothers their eyes, and it goes on to slick leaving their face to feel slimy and icky.
Go figure! Visit the customer reviews of any top-selling anti wrinkle cream on the market and you will find that there is not any that has the ability to please every consumer. And furthermore, you will find users making seemingly contradicting claims about the exact same product. What does this tell me? It tells me that first, no product can claim to be effective for every user. And second, there are likely other factors at work that are affecting the quality of your skin. This last fact leads me to my main point. What are those other factors that may be influencing how effective the anti wrinkle cream that you use is.
If anti wrinkle creams have any effect on their users, those effects are definitely either enhanced or diminished depending on other lifestyle behaviors practiced by the anti wrinkle cream user. For example, I have a sneaking suspicion that if you took two women of the same age with similar skin aging problems, one a cigarette smoker and the other not, and then you have both use the same wrinkle cream for two weeks, you will surely find that the nonsmoker will experience better results. Aging and wrinkles are caused by the decaying and dying of skin cells. The more cells that die the older you are going to look. Smoking promotes the death of cells. Quitting smoking, therefore, will increase the effectiveness of your anti aging efforts. Consume more antioxidants in addition to quitting smoking and you may see even better results from whatever anti wrinkle cream you are using. In fact, the active ingredients in many anti wrinkle creams are antioxidants.
Diet is also a major factor in the condition of your skin. Poor diets heavy in processed foods that contain a lot of toxins and chemicals and very scarce on unprocessed fresh fruits and vegetables will surely cause you to age much faster than you should. Large quantities of fresh green vegetables and considerable amounts of berries and other antioxidant-rich foods can slow and even reverse the aging process.
If you are seeking younger looking skin in the container of an anti wrinkle cream, you should first be sure that your lifestyle is anti aging friendly. In fact for some, a healthy lifestyle works far better than any manufactured cream can.
