Age Spot Cream Should not Contain Hydroquinone
Don't buy age spot cream that contains hydroquinone. Research has shown that there is a possible cancer risk associated with the use of products containing it. The ingredient has been banned from cosmetics in the European Union, but is still allowed in the US and is readily available over the internet.
These days, it is imperative for consumers to learn to protect themselves, if we really want to wipe out cancer. But, even if you're not the kind of person that worries about that sort of thing, you are obviously concerned about your appearance. Hydroquinone has been known to cause an unusual reaction.
Instead of inhibiting melanin production and lightening the area, it turns the area darker. That's only in some cases and the perceived risk is considered minor. But, why take the chance when safer ingredients that are more effective are available.
If you want to reduce pigmentation in a large area, look for an age spot cream that contains cyperus rotundus extract, commonly referred to as nut-grass root. At a.5% concentration, the natural plant extract has been shown to inhibit melanin production by more than 40%.
Melanin is the pigment that makes up age spots and freckles. It is also responsible for the tint or color of your skin. If you have a little tan and you want to keep it, then you don't want nut-grass root. By inhibiting melanin production, it will gradually lighten your complexion. Applying it to a small area is difficult. The surrounding area will be affected.
If you would just like to gradually even out the pigmentation, so that everything "matches", the regular use of creams containing the protein keratin and coenzyme Q10 will work. Instead of being marketed as an age spot cream, these creams are generally marketed as "anti-aging creams". The two ingredients address almost all of the causes of an aged appearance.
Some ingredients are best for daytime use. Others are best for nighttime use. For example, if you did want to lighten your complexion, you would use a moisturizer containing cyperus rotundus extract, but only during the day. After removing your makeup and before going to bed, you would apply a different moisturizer, preferably one that contains coenzyme Q10, keratin and Shea butter.
The skin is an organ that regenerates throughout your life. It is just that the regenerative processes slow down as we get older. That's why someone might need an age spot cream, in the first place.
We assume that sun exposure plays a major role in skin aging, because areas that are usually protected from sunlight have a more youthful look. We know that melanin is produced in response to the sun. You only see age spots on areas like the hands or face, which are rarely protected by clothing.
Most of the regenerative processes go on at night. Nighttime creams that support those processes can make a huge difference in your appearance.
Just remember, if you do decide to buy an age spot cream, read the label of ingredients carefully. But, if you really want to see a difference, use an effective anti-aging moisturizer, instead.
