Most wrinkle creams all contain vitamin A. Naturally, all products claim to smooth away wrinkles. Many of these products are deceptive and want you to believe they work when they don’t. Some wrinkle removing creams include little tiny pieces of glitter. Glitter is used because it reflects light out of the wrinkles. This gives the illusion that your wrinkles have completely disappeared. But of course, you wash your face and you will also wash away the new, youthful look of your skin.

If you are really into anti-aging creams, you should know all about vitamin A. Vitamin A also goes by the name retinol. Wrinkles will disappear with regular use. This process can take a few days or even a week or two. Do not fear though. You will see a difference.

Retinol causes skin to stay elastic. Moreover, when using skin care products that contain retinol you skin will retain moisture. And it even may be used to “plump” wrinkles so they stretch tight and smooth.

However, retinol also has some associated complications that you need to be aware of. The biggest is sun sensitivity. Whether you are taking vitamin A or using it topically, it can make you extremely sensitive to the sun. If you go out for very long on a sunny day you can get burned. Of course, if you are worried about fighting wrinkles then you have no business outside without a sunblock on your face anyway!

Plus, if you have really sensitive skin, retinol can create some problems. Some of the more common effects of vitamin A (besides being a wrinkle fighter) can be breakouts and/or dry skin. This will only happen if you overdo the vitamin A treatments. Test your vitamin A product on the inside of your elbow first, if you are anxious about using it. You can place a small bit there twice a day for around a week. If you don’t have redness or swelling then you will be just fine. To make sure that you are in good shape, just pay attention to the way you skin is feeling and looking.

Last but not least, my final warning. Follow the directions! You must not use vitamin A if you just want to rub on any old moisturizer to protect your skin. It is for people who don’t play around when it comes to beauty. Vitamin A can completely get rid of wrinkles, usually, so make sure you are using it the correct way.
