Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A which is used in almost all wrinkle creams. This is added as an anti-oxidant which fights the free radicals that are present on the skin. These free radicals actually destroy the skin cells causing the formation of wrinkles on the face. Retinol works to prevent the formation of these on the skin. Pregnant women should avoid retinol because it can cause birth defects.

Exfoliants are considered main ingredients in anti-wrinkle creams. The most commonly used exfoliant is hydroxy acids. These are present in the form of alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids and polyhydroxy acids. As exfoliants, they enhance peeling of the top layer of the skin removing the dead skin cells. This enhances the renewal of a new skin layer that gives the face a smoother and flawless look. Care must be taken when using this because the skin will be susceptible to sun damage. Wear sunscreen all the time when using this on the face.

Wrinkle formation is reduces with the use of L-Ascorbic Acid. An additional use of this compound is for protecting the skin from the UV rays. This keep the skin protected all the time.

Coenzyme Q10 is one important ingredient in wrinkle creams. This works to enhance skin repair which is why it is found in most anti-aging products.

The mere application of topical creams with this compound is an effective way to supply Coenzyme Q10 in the body.
