There are only 2 types of anti-aging creams that are proven to work by scientific research - prescription retinol creams and anti-wrinkle creams using alpha hydroxy acids.





Aplha hydroxy acid lotions are known as AHAs and sometimes also as fruit acids. AHAs are applied topically. This simply means the way to use AHAs is to apply the lotion directly to the skin.





AHAs are wonderful because they are cheap, easy to use, and most importantly, they actually work. Unlike many of the wrinkle remover cream fairy tales, AHAs are well and truly proven. There is ample scientific research that the unwanted effects of aging can be alleviated with AHAs.





The medical advice from doctors at MedicineNET is ';slather on alpha-hydroxy acids . . . AHAs . . . reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes. New evidence shows that in higher concentrations, AHAs may help stimulate collagen production.';





The secret to their power is that they are useful exfoliants - they break down the top layer of the skin and reveal brighter and more youthful looking skin underneath.





Usually regular application for a period of 4-6 weeks will make your skin appear younger. The way AHAs work is slow and subtle. They will make discoloration, age spots, fine lines much less visible - not quite the same as invisible.





There are no worrying side effects from alpha hydroxy acid lotions. Remember though, the reason AHAs make your skin look glowing and youthful is because they slough off the top surface layer of the skin. This top layer does provide a little bit of sun protection so after exfoliating with AHAs your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. You can easily avoid this increased risk of sun damage by wearing suncreen - something you should always do anyway.





The research shows that to be an effective wrinkle remover cream, the AHA concentration must be between 5% and 10%. It is also suggested you look for a pH between 3 and 4.





It is an added bonus if the product also contains other beneficial ingrediants to support your skin and fight aging. For example, look for water-binding agents, antioxidants, and anti-irritants.





';Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion, Night'; has a pH of 3.3, and an AHA concentration of 8%. It has no irritating fragrance but plenty of vitamin-based antioxidants. At around $12 from Publix, this is a great buy.
