Each of us have a lust for youthfulness which causes us to yearn for that special cream which grants us our wish, even blinding us to the truth of the product. However, in a new aspect of the present situation, an elder can look as good as a yearling!

The average elder may find his or herself inquiring in an investigation, \”what may I consider to be an effective elixir for my curse of wrinkles?! Certainly there is a cream among these falsities which should rule over the lines on my face!\”

The confusion is due to the wealth of choices. The manufactures are driven to come up with always new combinations of ingredients that claim to be able to diminish the appearance of wrinkles. Yes, we know - or should know by now - that the only wrinkle cream that carries the official stamp of is the good old vitamin A cream, Retinol.

However, we also know that the official stamp of approval is slow in coming. In the meantime, we would not want to miss out on all the potential goodness contained in the multitude of wrinkle cream jars that almost daily hit the market!

But we cannot declare all anti-age creams on the market today useless, because the fact is that with each application of the different types of cream, wrinkles and lines disappear, making it nearly impossible to give age-diminishing credit to any one brand.

To put honest information in logical terms, Vitamin A creams work well, but it has been proven that creams with AHA (alpha hydroxyl acids), antioxidants based on derivatives of vitamins A, C, and E, coenzyme Q10, collagen or copper work the best. A more recent study has been done on the possible effects of orchid extract. However, it is not possible to put all the ingredients together into one magical wrinkle-reducer.

Therefore, your best bet would be to periodically change from a cream that contains one type of wrinkle-fighting ingredient to a cream that contains another type of wrinkle-fighting ingredient. That way, your skin will over time get a variety of possibly beneficial ingredients. It is often a good idea to go by what your friends recommend, even though what is the best anti wrinkle cream for your friend is not necessarily the best for your specific skin type. Listen to your skin, and it will soon tell you what it likes and what it does not like!

In the end, there really is no Lord of All Ageless Creams, but there is strength in multitude. For best effects, an elder should do heavy research and select a cream wisely, then continue to work magic with the elixir for at least three months. It has been said by great lords that the greatest cause for an elder’s ageless cream to be unsuccessful is the elder’s unwillingness to keep using the same cream.
