Technically, there is no prescription wrinkle cream. There is an acne medication that eventually obtained approval by the US FDA for the treatment of wrinkles. It goes by various names. Retin-A is one example. Guess what it really is?

It is really the animal form of vitamin A; retinol. It is highly concentrated, always causes redness, usually causes itching and always increases your sensitivity to sunlight. Plant extracts that contain vitamin A are non-irritating and over the counter creams that contain it have been shown to be just as effective as Retin-A, without the side effects.

It makes sense, when you think about it. Things that are toxic to the inside of your body usually cause redness and itching of the skin. The animal form of vitamin A is toxic at high doses. It can even cause death. The A vitamins that exist in plants are known as carotenoids, including beta-carotene. The body converts them to vitamin A on an as-needed basis. There is no way to get too many carotenoids in your diet.

So, instead of a prescription wrinkle cream containing retinol, look for an over the counter product that contains Shea butter or Avocado oil, plant-based sources of vitamin A. The vitamin is important to the skins health. Deficiency in the diet causes excessive dryness. So, eat your carrots.

Shea butter and avocado oil are also effective moisturizers. Many people buy dozens of anti-aging products, but overlook the power of a simple moisturizer. Moister skin simply looks better. Fine lines and wrinkles are far less noticeable. Avocado has an added benefit. One study showed that it increased the amount of soluble collagen present in the skin.

Normally, as we age, fewer collagen fibers are produced. The fibers are composed of soluble or tropo-collagen. The reason that avocado oil stimulates the production of tropo-collagens is unknown, but it is likely due to all of the antioxidants it contains. Antioxidants, of which vitamin A is one, are the most potent anti-aging ingredients that we have.

In a few years, there may be a prescription wrinkle cream that contains Idebenone, a synthetic version of the antioxidant coenzyme Q10. It has been shown to reduce roughness and dryness, while decreasing lines and wrinkles. There are already over the counter products that contain natural coenzyme Q10. The ingredient to look for is NANOLIPOBELLE COQ10.

Its not the ingredient that will be used in the prescription wrinkle cream, but like the prescription version of vitamin A, that one is likely to be accompanied by unwanted side effects. NANOLIPOBELLE COQ10 is not accompanied by any unwanted side effects. It was created using nanotechnology, which allows the manufacturer to reduce the molecules in size to a point where they can be readily absorbed into the skins layers.

Typically, you will find NANOLIPOBELLE, Shea butter and avocado oil in night creams, because that is when the body repairs damage. Those three ingredients will work as well as, if not better than any prescription wrinkle cream that is on the market now or will be in the future.
