Anti-wrinkle ingredients in cosmetics: which ones work?

The main active ingredients in anti-aging cosmetics

Anti-aging products often include ingredients that stimulate skin renewal, support collagen production, and protect the skin from external influences. These components help to strengthen its structure and give it a fresh look.

Peptides in anti-wrinkle composition

Peptides play a key role in maintaining skin elasticity. 

Doctor of Medical Sciences Evgeniya Ikonnikova explains: 

“Peptides are short chains of amino acids that support the production of collagen and elastin, stimulate skin regeneration and help retain moisture. This makes them indispensable in anti-aging cosmetics due to their safety and versatility, confirmed by research."

Peptides stimulate protein synthesis, increasing the production of collagen and elastin, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles, improves elasticity and density of the skin.

Oils in anti-wrinkle compositions

Natural oils nourish and restore the barrier function of the skin. Due to their properties, oils soften the skin, make it more elastic and promote recovery after exposure to external factors.

Shea butter, almond and camelina oil are actively used in anti-aging cosmetics, as they help improve skin texture and protect it from dehydration.

Vitamin E in anti-wrinkle compositions

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals that cause oxidative stress and accelerate aging. It helps strengthen cell membranes, improves skin hydration, and slows the formation of wrinkles. Vitamin E is often used in cosmetics to prevent photoaging and maintain soft, smooth skin.

Panthenol in anti-wrinkle products

Panthenol, or provitamin B5, promotes healing and skin restoration, improves its texture, and relieves irritation. It has a powerful moisturizing effect, which allows it to fill in fine wrinkles and improve the appearance of the skin. Panthenol also prevents inflammation, protecting the skin from negative environmental influences and premature aging.

Aloe in anti-wrinkle products

Aloe is a natural ingredient that has a deep moisturizing effect, makes the skin soft, and has antioxidant properties. Thanks to its properties, aloe helps restore damaged areas of the skin, refresh its appearance, and prevent dryness, which can lead to wrinkles.

These active ingredients help anti-aging cosmetics address the challenges of maintaining healthy and beautiful skin.

Recommendations from a cosmetologist

Anti-aging skin care requires a comprehensive approach that combines high-quality cosmetics, professional procedures, and a healthy lifestyle.

Dermatocosmetologist, MD, highest category physician Evgeniya Ikonnikova:

"Regular care and the use of products with collagen, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, combined with cosmetic procedures and sun protection, are the key to slowing down aging." This approach allows us to slow down the aging process and maintain healthy skin at a high level.

A professional approach to anti-aging care

Professional anti-aging care includes the regular use of products with active ingredients, cosmetic procedures, and measures to protect the skin from harmful factors. Below are the main recommendations:

Choosing cosmetics.
Products with collagen, peptides, retinol, hyaluronic acid and antioxidants (such as vitamin E) maintain skin elasticity and density, which is especially important for the prevention and correction of wrinkles.

Sun protection.
SPF protection in everyday cosmetics helps prevent photoaging by protecting against harmful ultraviolet radiation, which contributes to the destruction of collagen and accelerates the formation of wrinkles. It is recommended to use day creams with SPF daily, even on cloudy days.

Procedures to maintain youthful skin.
Cosmetology procedures, such as botulinum toxin injections, fillers, laser therapy, peels and massages, allow you to deeply affect the skin, increase its elasticity and reduce wrinkles. These treatments help maintain the collagen framework and stimulate cellular renewal, making them ideal aids in an anti-aging routine.

Lifestyle and Diet.
A healthy diet, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep play a key role in maintaining youthful skin. A diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals supports healthy skin and helps fight free radicals, slowing the aging process.

Creating a comprehensive anti-aging routine requires careful selection of products and adherence to regular care. The main steps of effective care:

Step 1. Cleansing. This is the first step in skin care, helping to remove impurities and prepare the skin for the application of active ingredients. Cleansing morning and evening with gentle cleansers is a must, especially in an anti-aging routine.

Step 2. Moisturize and nourish. With age, skin becomes drier and loses natural moisture. Moisturizing and nourishing products help restore balance, improving texture and giving skin a fresh, healthy appearance.

Intensive care. Anti-aging serums, creams, and masks with active ingredients effectively treat the skin, minimize wrinkles, and restore elasticity.

Protection from the sun and external factors. SPF products prevent the negative effects of ultraviolet rays, thereby protecting the skin from photoaging. By combining protective products with moisturizing and nourishing ones, you can create a comprehensive barrier against the negative impact of the environment.
