Vitamin A derivatives are the mainstay therapy for wrinkles. Tretinoin (all-trans-retinoic acid), also known as Retin-A, is currently the only topical agent FDA-approved for the treating of wrinkles and furrows caused by prolonged sun damage. Retinol and Tazarotene are also vitamin A derivatives becoming more widely used in topical creams and studies have shown they can also decrease wrinkles in the skin.
Other antioxidants such as Vitamins (C and E), minerals (selenium), and biological proteins and lipids such as (coenzyme Q10 and alpha-lipoic acid) have also started appearing in creams. Topically, these antioxidants are poorly absorbed and studies have not proven any long term efficacy in wrinkle reduction.
In regards to your question, if there are vitamin A derivatives proven to reduce wrinkles (tretinoin, retinol, or tazarotene) listed in the ingredients of the “Life Cell” cream, then this product may be able to reduce wrinkles but any visible effect may take at least 8 weeks of topical application. On the other hand, if this product does not have any vitamin A derivatives, it is unlikely to reduce wrinkles.
Therefore, the best treatment for wrinkles is any cream containing a vitamin A derivative (tretinoin, retinol, or tazarotene) – available commercially in most department stores.
