Wrinkle Filling Cream - Does It Really Work?
The advertisements for wrinkle filling cream are a little over-stated. One company claims that their product contains "injectable-grade facial filler". While that might be true, it doesn't mean it will work.
Think about it. The injections work, because the filler is injected deep within the skin's layers. The plan is to replace some of the fatty tissue normally lost with age. This stretches out the skin and reduces wrinkles.
When an ingredient is placed on top of the skin, it may be able to penetrate into a few of the layers, but will get nowhere near the fatty tissue layer. A moisturizing ingredient may work to improve the skin's fullness if the cells are able to absorb the moisturizer. Dermatologists say that if the creams seem to work immediately, your actual problem was dry skin.
But, what is this injectable-grade facial filler the company is talking about? According to a recent report, it has become the most popular ingredient for anti-wrinkle creams. It is called hyaluronic acid. Dermatologists say it cannot penetrate when it is applied topically.
What is hyaluronic acid? It is a compound naturally present in the skin that contributes to firmness and plays a role in the production of new skin cells.
The amount of hyaluronic acid in older skin is lower than what is found in younger skin. That may be one of the reasons that the production of new skin cells decreases with age.
In truth, there is no such thing as wrinkle filling cream. There are some glue-like substances that can be applied thickly to a crease and allowed to dry. Following that application, you would apply makeup to cover the white area.
Depending on the location of the creases, smiling, frowning or other facial expressions can cause the material to crack.
If you were playing a role in a film, the makeup artist might use wrinkle filling cream, but she would reapply it between scenes. That's not something you would want to do throughout the day.
Basically, the creams do not work. But there are alternatives. Some of the latest anti-aging creams contain wonderful ingredients that moisturize to reduce wrinkles quickly and work over time to reduce wrinkles permanently. For example, coenzyme Q10 creams have been shown to reduce wrinkles by 30% after 30 days of use. The antioxidant also works to smooth out pigmentation and repair sun damage.
Just say "no" to wrinkle filling cream. Choose a good anti-aging cream instead.
