Which is the best, most effective face cream?
The most effective face creams are all those that contain chemicals whose efficacy has been scientifically and clinically verified.
Apart from Tretinoin, a drug available only with a prescription, there are substances on the market that do work with a non-existent side effects profile. Some of these are aloe Vera, vitamin E and C, and collagen.
Some of those are known and used worldwide since a very long time, while others’ efficacy has been assessed just recently. Even Cleopatra used to apply the aloe Vera gel to her body as part of her regimen!
Studies show that the gel penetrates three of the epidermal layers of the skin. Aloe Vera gel improves absorption of herbs and vitamins, is great for your skin, and it has healing properties. It is very effective in treating several conditions, like small paper or knife cuts, abrasions due to a fall or a bump, and burns or sunburns.
The structure of the gel’s molecules helps to reduce scar formation and heal wounds faster as it has collagen boosting properties which reduce dark circles and fine lines. Finally, the gel also has anti-inflammatory properties which soothes mild acne outbreaks, and moisturizing properties that can reduce itching, dry skin and seborrheic dermatitis.
Vitamin C is extremely important for your overall health. This vitamin helps you hydrate your skin and give your face a natural glow, also reducing pigmentation, dark spots and redness. It helps to boost collagen and fight sun damage as well.
Vitamin E is another important vitamin. Its role is to boost hair and skin health and support cell function. Like the vitamin C, it helps against the sun’s damaging UV rays, and on top of that it has anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that fight any signs of aging.
Collagen is one of the most important and abundant structural protein in the connective tissues of the human body and makes up 75% of our skin and 30% of all proteins in your body. It’s produced by fibroblasts, cells that create the structure of human and animal tissues and aid in wound healing. Collagen has a sturdy structure and, in some types, the molecules are packed so tightly together that they become harder than steel! So resistant that Scientist have even though about using as a replacement for concrete to build actual buildings!
But let’s go back to the topic.
As we age, collagen production slows down, wrinkles and fine lines set in and sagging takes place. Maintaining and improving collagen production can keep your skin looking youthful and vibrant, even as you get older.
Many companies try to capitalize on products that contain some of these chemical, and there’s a plethora out there to choose from. But since I have to answer your question, my suggestion falls upon a product that contains all the chemicals listed above and that I personally use myself, called Revitol, that you can find here, along with other information.
