Matrixyl And Argireline: The Anti-Wrinkle Cream Miracle Or Myth?

For centuries women have been on the quest for youthful, supple skin.  Anti-aging and anti-wrinkle creams have become hot commodities. And finding a cream that offers instant results, long term benefits and prevention of rapid aging is truly like finding the goose that lays the golden egg.

But be warned… not all anti-wrinkle creams are created equal.

Some have lackluster performance and does nothing more for your skin than a drug store moisturizer would.

However, anti-wrinkle creams with matrixyl and argireline have risen to the top of the anti-aging hierarchy.

Matrixyl, is a peptide, which is basically a fatty acid mixed with amino acids, and it helps stimulate collagen and elastin generation at the cellular level as well as skin repair.

And studies have shown that matrixly does, in fact, combat aging and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Argireline is the second component of this one-two punch that aims to knock out the fine line’s that develop in aging skin.

Argireline is a synthetic peptide that naturally relax the muscles near the top of the skin, which has a smoothing affect similar to Botox, without the intrusiveness, dubbing it the ‘better than Botox’ alternative by many beauty insiders and consumers.

So if there is something on the market that actually helps anti-aging and has the studies to prove, then what’s the downside?

Some reports have cited that although argireline has anti-wrinkle properties it may not help anti-sagging skin.

Think about it. If your muscle stops working, either by stroke or Botox, wouldn’t it develop atrophy? Quite simply, that if the muscle doesn’t move it may stop supporting the connective tissue surrounding it and skin sagging may occur.

However, there has been no research to back this hypothesis against argireline up. But if in your family genes facial or neck skin sagging is a problem, you may want to think twice about using a cream or serum with this synthetic peptide.

The only downside that is apparent is the monetary cost that comes along with the price of youth. In accordance with the laws of supply and demand, something that is in high demand will have a high price.

And that holds true here. Looking wrinkle-free doesn’t come cheap. Fine brand-name creams and cosmeceuticals containing each or both of these miracle components may cost you around $100 or more.

Bottom line: Do your homework. Research the web for anti-wrinkle reviews and brands that have both of these superstar ingredients.  Look for brands that put their money where their mouth is and offer money back guarantees. That way, if you don’t see results in the first month or so, your lost investment is the time returning the product and the cost of the postage.

So if you’re looking to take a sip from the fountain of youth — the science seems to back up the claims for matrixyl and argireline. They just may be the best dynamic duo since Batman and Robin.

Cheers… drink up!
