What is the best anti-aging cream?

What is the best anti aging cream? Do they even exist? How do they work? And how do we get to look a little bit younger than we are?

There are lots of products available, from the natural ones to the highly chemical ones. We all want to slow down the ageing process, and with so much debate about various brands, which direction do we go?

According to WebMD, while debate regarding the products which help us look younger, there is one thing that can be agreed. “Some of the antiaging treatment technology focuses on compounds called pentapeptides – small groups of long-chain amino acids that function as chemical messengers throughout the body. Among the most popular creams containing these ingredients include the Regenerist line by Olay, Strivectin-SD by Klein Becker, Wrinkle Relax by DDF, and the Principal Secret Reclaim line.

“And though doctors say there are no published medical studies showing they work, experts involved in product testing say there is ample science behind the pentapeptide technology.

“Initially, the research on pentapeptides was done in relation to wound healing. As part of the body’s natural response to help skin heal, published studies showed peptides are instrumental in increasing cells in the skin to produce more collagen.

“But collagen isn’t just for healing boo-boos. It also plays an important role in how skin ages. Gordon explains that collagen is the support structure that gives our skin a firm, young appearance. When levels remain plentiful, our skin looks young and fresh. When levels decline, we lose that support and wrinkles begin to form. While wrinkle-filling injections can temporarily fill in the gaps, some researchers believe that topically applying these peptides to the skin might help it make more collagen on its own. This would have a “filling” effect similar to the wrinkle injections – but without the needle!
