- 1). Look at the active ingredients listed on wrinkle cream labels and packages. Products with ingredients like retinol, kinetin, hydroxy acids, coenzyme Q10, salicylic acid and tea extracts may prevent or improve facial wrinkles; however, it's best to consult a dermatologist to determine which active ingredient will work best for your skin. Dry skin, for example, may work best with ingredients like kinetin because the ingredient helps retain moisture. Research active ingredients, online, on reputable websites written by or reviewed by dermatologists. Also ensure that the content is unbiased and not on websites intended to sell you products.
- 2). Determine which part of the skin you want to treat. Wrinkle cream for the eyes and face may require different products because of skin delicacy.
- 3). Skip over wrinkle creams with extravagant claims. Some anti-wrinkle creams state in their advertising that they can make wrinkles disappear instantaneously or promise that you'll look 10 to 20 years younger in as little as 24 hours. Promising dramatically younger skin overnight is a sign that the product may be ineffective.
- 4). Choose anti-wrinkle creams that contain a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30, as is suggested by the American Academy of Dermatology. Sunscreens prevent future wrinkles and sun damage that may occur because of sun exposure.
- 5). Add a moisturizer to skincare regimen, if the anti-wrinkle cream doesn't contain moisturizing ingredients. Moisturizers may not prevent future wrinkles but they do plump out existing wrinkles, reducing the appearance of those wrinkles.
