Are You Using the World's Best Moisturizing Cream for Men?

You probably aren't using the best moisturizing cream for men because you are reading this.  But if you really want the best, keeping reading.

I am sure we all have found out that save for a formula or two the current crop of mens moisturizing cream leaves a lot to be desired.  This is because of  the poor results they deliver.   Let’s take a look at what these formulas have, and then I will tell you what you really need for healthy, wrinkle free skin.

Ineffective Ingredients

These products don’t really have anything in them that are effective for treating your skin, and more often than not you will find that they contain ingredients that will only add to your problems.

Widely Promoted But...

The first thing that I want to cover is the anti wrinkle compounds most often found in these formulas.  Anti aging formulas typically include collagen, elastin, or hyaluronic acid as active compounds, and very often they are used in combination with one another.  This gives people the illusion that they are getting absolutely everything that they need for attaining smooth, wrinkle free skin.

I refer to the inclusion of these compounds in mens moisturizing cream as giving the user the illusion of effectiveness, because the truth is that none of these compounds is absorbable.  Their molecular density is too great for the skin to take them in, and they are therefore totally ineffective.  In order to smooth out your wrinkles you are going to need something else.

What Will Really Work?

Cynergy TK is a fusion of zinc and copper protein complexes mixed with a special blend of enzymes, and it has been clinically proven to increase the number of collagen and elastin molecules being produced.  Phytessence Wakame is a kelp derivative that is known for its ability to decrease the ability of certain enzymes to cause the breakdown of hyaluronic acid.  These are the compounds you need in order to be wrinkle free.

What Doesn't Work

Now let’s look at the moisturizing agents most often found in mens moisturizing cream.  These are the petroleum based compounds known as mineral oil, paraffin wax, and petrolatum.  These agents cannot penetrate your skin either, and what typically happens is that they will simply fill in your pores, and form a greasy film to form on the surface of your skin.

Your sebaceous glands sense some moisture at the surface, and since they typically measure moisture from the deepest reaches of the skin out they sense that there is no more moisture necessary.  So, with no real moisture coming in from the outside, and a lack of production from the sebaceous glands your skin becomes overly dry over time.

More on What Works on Your Skin

What a truly effective mens moisturizing cream will contain is not only compounds that are effective at deeply moisturizing your skin, but that also have a soothing effect to treat the reddening and inflammation that most of us suffer.  Ideal compounds would be Witch Hazel, Capuacu butter, Babassu wax, and grape seed oil.  These are the compounds you need for keeping your skin healthy.

If the mens moisturizing cream you are currently using contains any of the ingredients that I advised against, then you need to stop using them.  Look for formulas containing these other components, and you will have everything you could ever want in a mens moisturizing cream.
