Night Creams: Do Any Have Anti-Aging Results?

Not all anti-aging night creams work.  Why?  Because they have the wrong ingredients.  What is the "right" ingredients in a night cream? Let me show you.
Whether or not the moisturizers are effective really depends on what they contain.  Here's a look at some of the better ingredients and what they can do for you. Also included in how to find the anti-aging night cream with these ingredients.
Shea Butter
Shea butter has long been recognized in some countries as medicinally active oil.  It is pressed from the nuts of the Shea tree, also referred to as the tree of life, native to some parts of Africa.  A nighttime moisturizer containing the oil can help heal blemishes, reverse wrinkles, relive itching and heal allergic reactions.  It is also beneficial for eczema, stretch marks, scars and age spots. 
Although the butter contains a number of different nutrients, one of the reasons that it is so beneficial for wrinkles and other signs of aging is because of the vitamin A content.  The only prescription wrinkle creams in the US are those containing retinoids.  For example, Retin-A.
Retinoids are actually synthetic versions of natural vitamin A.  Using an anti-aging night cream containing synthetic retinoids can cause itching, redness and irritation.  Using one that contains Shea butter can provide the same benefits seen with Retin-A (wrinkle reduction, less sagging, smoother younger looking skin), without any of the adverse reactions.
Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is also a source of vitamin A, as well as many other nutrients.  In separate studies, creams containing avocado oil as the only active ingredient have been shown to reduce age spots, improve moisture content, soften skin and relieve psoriasis and eczema.  In one study, avocado extracts were shown to increase the amount of collagen in the skin.  Decreased collagen content is one of the causes of wrinkles and sagging.



It is possible to find an anti-aging night cream that contains Shea butter and avocado oil, as well as a few other "unique" ingredients.
Active Manuka Honey
Honey has been used for centuries for a variety of medicinal purposes.  Researchers have found that some varieties of honey do have medicinal activity, depending on the plants from which the bees gather their pollen.
Manuka honey is a mono-floral variety, meaning that the bees gather pollen from only one plant.  In this case, it is the Manuka, a flowering shrub native to New Zealand.
Anti-aging night cream containing active manuka honey will help to heal blemishes and prevent new ones from forming, because of the natural antibacterial activity.  The antioxidant activity of the honey helps to reverse free radical damage, which is one of the primary causes of wrinkles and other signs of age.
Other Ingredients
Other ingredients are beneficial, as well, including wakame extract, coenzyme Q10 and natural vitamin E.  The better companies combine active ingredients that work in synergy, each enhancing and improving the benefits of the other.
