When it comes to cosmetics, experts say nothing is clear, especially when you talk about wrinkles. A lot of products promise to help but only a handful actually deliver. That can be frustrating for someone who’s looking for a miracle.

“Skin care today is nothing less than a riddle, bottled in pretty glass and wrapped in perfumed boxes, promising extraordinary results and remarkable powers – ‘in just 48 hours.’ Clearly we have lost our way,” wrote Shari Roan of the Los Angeles Times.

“Somewhere near the intersection of hope and science, marketing has launched a thousand hyperboles. Advertisements blur the lines between drugs and cosmetics. Manufacturers trot out studies that reveal little about how a substance works. And high-priced products carry the false promise of quality and effectiveness,” she added.

However, you don’t have to have an advanced degree in advertising or marketing to sort out the good products from garbage. In most cases, all it takes is a little common sense and some product awareness. Check out the labels and do a little research. That way, you’ll know what you’re buying.

Take the case of Dermaxin for instance – a product that claims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, restore skin elasticity and smoothness, revitalize the skin, and reduce the signs of aging. These benefits may sound too good to be true but on closer examination, you’ll find that Dermaxin contains the right blend of ingredients to do exactly what it says.

First, there’s Matrixyl 3000, a peptide that triggers a heal-and-repair response that stimulates the development of collagen and elastin among others. Collagen is a tough protein that gives the skin the ability to stretch while elastin is a protein similar to collagen that makes the skin elastic. In one double-blind study with 23 subjects aged 39 to 74 years old, Matrixyl helped reduce the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 45 percent.

Another winning ingredient is Argireline, another popular peptide that relaxes facial muscles from triggering a muscle contraction. Scientific studies show that this substance reduces wrinkles on the face, forehead and around the eyes and helps reduce skin aging due to repeated facial movements.

Then there’s collagen that keeps the skin young, soft and smooth. Dermaxin effectively replaces the collagen that we lose with aging because of its hydrating effect. Studies show that collagen moisturizes the skin by 42 percent and decreases wrinkles by 31 percent.

Last but not the least is hyaluronic acid, another moisturizer that holds over 1,000 times its weight in water, thus increasing skin smoothness, softness, and elasticity. The Cleveland Health Information Center describes hyaluronic acid as a substance that “occurs naturally (and quite abundantly) in humans and animals, and is found in young skin, other tissues, and joint fluid. Hyaluronic acid is a component of the body’s connective tissues and is known to cushion and lubricate. As you age, however, the forces of nature destroy hyaluronic acid. Diet and smoking can also affect your body’s level of hyaluronic acid over time. Skin care products with hyaluronic acid are most frequently used to treat wrinkled skin.”

All these make Dermaxin a cut above other anti-wrinkle products in the market today.
