If you're like most people, you linger for a long time in the anti aging skin care aisle of your local drugstore, thinking to yourself, 'why are some wrinkle creams better than others'. You might even wonder whether the benefits touted by manufacturers of wrinkle creams is mere marketing.

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 is a type of Vitamin A and it has been used in wrinkle creams for many years. It continues to show up in the newest products on the market because it works. How it works is that it neutralizes particles called 'free radicals' that break down your skin and cause aging.

Co enzyme Q10: This enzyme occurs naturally. Q10 aids cells to regulate their energy production. Studies show that Q10 revitalizes the skin cells around your eyes, fading the tiny lines that will appear.

Tea Extract: The extracts provide antioxidants directly to the local area of the skin for which it is applied. Tea extract has been shown to sooth inflammation that cause long term skin damage.

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 is required of our bodies to stay healthy. Over time, tiny invisible wounds caused by environmental conditions, such as the Sun, or extreme cold, damage skin and speed up the aging, because skin does not get to heal properly. Copper peptides increase the speed skin heals from wounds. This process rejuvenates skin and allows the skin to heal from the environmental damages it faces daily.

Kinetin: This substance comes from a plant hormone that promotes cell division. Kinetin is used in wrinkle creams to fade wrinkles and brown spots. Scientists say it makes skin and collagen grow quickly, healing and smoothing wrinkles by increased cell growth, filling in the 'valleys'.
