The
topical wrinkle reducing product market is exploding. It generated
over $1 Billion in sales in 2004, with that number expected to
double by 2006. You do not have to look far to hear about these
types of products. There is huge interest in this market and advertisements
can be found everywhere, from TV, to radio, newspapers and magazines.
While the majority of these products are marketed to female consumers,
surprisingly, our research indicates that men account for approximately
25% of this market. It seems that women are no longer the only
gender searching for the fountain of youth.
Treatments
and products once only provided by dermatologists are now accessible
to consumers. There are over 200 products currently marketed to
remedy the signs of aging, from Botox alternatives to alpha-hydroxy
serums and wrinkle relaxers. These products range in cost from
under $10 to over $300 per ounce. How does the consumer determine
which products are effective? How does the consumer determine
which product is right for them?
In
this article we offer our readers a comprehensive list of anti-wrinkle
products based on our evaluations. We reviewed the over 200 products
currently available for the treatment of wrinkles. Our assessment
included review of the following product attributes: long term
effectiveness for wrinkle reduction; instant reduction of fine
lines and wrinkles; antioxidant protective properties delaying
skin cell aging; skin renewal and collagen stimulating properties;
and skin smoothing and firming properties. Based on the outcome
of our evaluation of these product attributes we ranked each product
accordingly.
Our
list is presented in descending order based upon the cumulative
score of product attributes. You may not see the product you use,
or are interested in using, on this list as it did not rank in
the top 25. Our list is dynamic in that we are constantly reexamining
and updating our rankings due to the availability of new products.
During
our research, the skin care specialists we consulted provided
useful tips that contribute to achieving and maintaining younger
looking skin, including the following:
• Be certain to consistently apply the product(s) you
choose in accordance with its directions for use;
• Pay special attention to your neck and hands while applying
the product(s) you choose, as these areas reflect your age;
• Always use sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF)
of at least 15;
• Drink at least eight glasses of water a day to stay
well hydrated;
• Avoid excessive intake of caffeinated and alcoholic
beverages, as they may contribute to dehydration and exacerbate
the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and
• Be sure to get adequate rest every day.
