Having fallen in love with Mario Badescu's and Olay's lines of skin care products, I wanted to find out what made these "over the counter" lines so great.
I've been doing some research on the active ingredients that anti-aging & moisturizing creams contain, sifting through them, and making note of the few most effective ingredients out there:
Argireline - acts like Botox without having Botox! Prevents & minimizes wrinkles by actually reducing facial tension!
"Works through a unique mechanism which relaxes facial tension leading to a reduction in superficial facial lines & wrinkles with regular use. In clinical studies depth of wrinkles were reduced by 27% following 30 days of treatment & new formation of wrinkles was inhibited as well. Can be combined with Tripeptide-5, Collagen Booster Peptide and Teprenone for enhanced anti-wrinkle treatment." - makingcosmetics.com
Hyaluronic Acid - the powerhouse of moisturizers, plumps & softens
"The most powerful moisturizer & humectant known so far, provides smoothness & softening to the skin, excellent anti-wrinkle effects, promotes growth of new skin cells after peelings, supports wound healing. "
Vitamin A - a.k.a. Retinol Palmitate
Revolution Complete A, B, C, E - all the essential vitamins in an easier-to-absorb form
"A complete vitamin delivery system containing Vitamins A, B3, B5, C and E for enhanced protection and skin nutrition. The encapsulation ensures delivery into the tissues where it can work to improve moisturization, the appearance of spots, uneven skintone and loss of elasticity...all of the support that your active anti-aging ingredients need to truly perform and minimize the signs of aged and prematurely aged skin. All this with the addition of a single ingredient, our new Revolution Complete, developed to deliver the power of the vital nutrients deep into the tissues, making them 10x more effective than the vitamins alone. "
ElastiNew® - a new ingredient with a promising future
"ElastiNew ® has been developed specifically to preserve the elastic capital of the skin, and thus prevent skin’s slackening, as well as the appearance of striae (stretch marks), scars, and wrinkles."
