Wouldn't it be nice if there was a magic eraser you could rub over frown lines, crow's feet and forehead creases, and they'd just disappear? Unfortunately, elastin and collagen fibers in skin break down over time, and wrinkles result. While you can't stop the process, there are some things you can do to slow it down or make it less noticeable.
Topical anti-wrinkle formulas, including creams and gels, moisturize the skin, can help reduce and smooth fine lines and may even provide firming effects. Many formulas contain vitamins A (retinol), C and E as well as antioxidants alpha lipoic acid and coenzyme Q10. Antioxidants help fight free radical damage, which is believed to be a major factor in aging of the skin.
For best results, take time to research the ingredients in topical anti-wrinkle formulas before purchasing. The reality is, you're not going to find a "face lift in a bottle," but some products have shown positive results in improving skin's texture and look.
