Anti-aging Cream is a moisturizer-based cosmeceutical skincare product marketed with the promise of making consumers look younger by reducing, covering or preventing signs of skin aging. These signs are weakness, rhytid (wrinkling), and photoaging, which include erythema (redness), dyspigmentation (brown discoloration), sun elastosis (yellowing), keratosis (abnormal growth), and poor texture.
Despite many requests, many products and anti-aging treatments have not been proven to have a lasting or major positive effect. One study found that the best-performing creams reduced wrinkles by less than 10% for 12 weeks, which were not visible to the human eye. Another study found that cheap moisturizers were as effective as high-priced anti-wrinkle creams. A 2009 study at Manchester University shows that some materials have an effect.
Traditionally, anti-aging creams have been marketed to women, but products that specifically target men are increasingly common.

Materials
Anti-aging cream can include conventional moisturizing agents. They also usually contain specific anti-aging ingredients, such as:
- Retinol (for example, in the form of retinyl palmitate). In various formulations has been shown to reduce fine lines and pores.
- Epidermal growth factor, to stimulate cell renewal and collagen production in the skin, and strengthen elasticity and structure. The discovery of the epidermal growth factor won Stanley Cohen and Rita Levi-Montalcini the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1986. In various studies, epidermal growth factors have been shown to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. It also has healing (wounds and burns) and anti-inflammatory properties when applied to the skin.
- Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) and hydroxy beta acids or other chemical peels. It helps to dissolve the intracellular "glue" that keeps the dead cells together on the skin. The use of this type of product every day gradually increases the exfoliation of the epidermis. It exposes newer skin cells and can help improve appearance. AHAs may irritate some skin, causing redness and flaking.
- Peptides, such as Matryxil and copper peptides.
- Coenzyme Q10
- Argireline (also known as acetyl hexapeptide-3). This peptide relaxes the facial muscles to prevent wrinkles and fine lines form.
- Anti-oxidants are substances that can protect cells from damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Studies so far can not be concluded, but generally do not provide strong evidence that antioxidant supplements have a major impact on the disease.
- Sunscreens provide high levels of UVA protection against UVA radiation effects, such as wrinkles.
- Vitamin C is one of the most effective ingredients commonly used in wrinkle creams. It is also considered to help the healing process.
