Overview
Since 1999, Young Again Nutrients - based in Texas - has produced various products meant to fight the signs of premature aging. The company offers a wide array of nutritional supplements and skincare formulas, including its Wrinkle Response product. In contrast to many of the products that AntiAging-Reviews.com has reviewed, Wrinkle Response is not a cream but rather a capsule that the consumer ingests like a daily multivitamin. While ingested nutrients can help support many functions in the body, science has yet to show that a pill can help revitalize the skin as quickly or effectively as a topical cream.
Featured Ingredients
Not only does that fact that Wrinkle Response is a pill concern us, but after looking at the formula in detail, it appears that this product is simply inferior. Even though Wrinkle Response contains several beneficial compounds, such as Alpha Lipoic Acid, DMAE and Grape Seed Extract, none of these ingredients has been shown to be specifically helpful at reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant that is supposed to be several times more powerful than Vitamin C and other known antioxidants. Indeed, research shows that not only does Alpha-Lipoic Acid help neutralize free radicals and other dangerous molecules in the body, but it also seems to have a recycling effect that boosts the effectiveness of other antioxidants. Even with this effect, however, Alpha Lipoic Acid may only protect the skin from further aging and does not seem to reduce wrinkles that are already formed.
DMAE (or Dimethylaminoethanol) is an anti-aging compound that has been shown to help brain function in older folks. While some of those who have used DMAE as a supplement report sharper mental clarity, only a few anecdotal reports suggests that DMAE can do anything for the skin. And its effects may be limited to merely helping keep skin soft.
Grape Seed Extract is among one of the most powerful antioxidants known. While it is admirable that Wrinkle Response contains this remarkable nutrient, our research has shown that Grape Seed works best when combined with other antioxidants that can protect the skin, such as Green Tea and White Tea extracts.
Web Site Description
Even though Young Again Nutrients claims that it conducts extensive research to keep its products among the cutting-edge of anti-aging research, we found many of the resources presented on its web site to be outdated. Plus, they are not able to explain why - if Wrinkle Response is supposed to be a cutting-edge formula - this product does not contain ingredients that can boost collagen production or help retain moisture in the skin, which are just as vital to fighting free radicals with antioxidants. In addition, the company does not offer a free trial of its products.
Positives
- Some of the antioxidants in the formula are well-known
Negatives
- Does not boost collagen or moisturize the skin
- A capsule may not be as effective as a topical cream
- No free trial option is offered
Conclusion
While we do not question the company’s established history of developing and providing effective nutritional supplements, the AntiAging-Reviews.com research team remains skeptical that a capsule formula like Wrinkle Response will have any effect on the skin. Especially considering that many of the ingredients seem to be rather weak - and that Wrinkle Response does not contain any collagen boosters 0 and the result is that we urge you to look elsewhere to find an effective wrinkle reducer.
