Is Kinetin Helpful In Anti Aging?

Take a bit of a look around at the various anti aging creams and anti wrinkle creams, there are so many different active ingredients that are used. There are Retinol-based, Hydroxy acid based, Antioxidants, Copper peptides, Coenzyme Q10, or Kinetin. Anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams moisturize new cell growth while doing other things like getting rid of the upper layer of dry skin cells. Take something like Kinetin for example, it can either be found packaged with an exfoliate or by itself. If it is by itself the idea is that the dead skin cells will come off on their own and new moisturized cells will be revealed.

Kinetin is classified as a “super moisturizer” and is found natural in plants, as a plant growth hormone. It is the growth hormone in plants, that replenishes a broken or pruned branch with twice the growth it had before, therefore, it is like a healing compound. Many people will use Kinetin, in place of Retinol based treatments, because of side effects caused in some individuals by Retinol.

Kinetin is often found in the form of coconut milk or aloe, or other plant products. While Kinetin is thought to be a moisture retention agent located in anti-aging creams and anti wrinkle creams, it’s benefits still remain unproven. Skin treatments that promote hydrating results will always have an effect on dry skin cell making skin appear dry, or aged and lacking glow. Kinetin products will often claim it is best used by people located in tropical type climate. Here, excessive moisturizing is needed, so much so that it may be too much for person not needing that excess moisture.

There have been advances in anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams, and not many products on the market are still touting the natural plant growth ingredient of Kinetin. Some of the products that previously used Kinetin are no longer being sold on websites and in stores, other than to exhaust product in inventory, so it may be found to not be effective as anything other than a moisturizer.

There are so many options in the skin care treatments, a lot have staggering prices tags, but not necessarily giving better results than cheaper items. It is best to research what treatments works best for you. With ant-aging creams, most of them try to keep the skin hydrated , and retaining moisture. This is where Kinetin would certainly fit in. It could be that it is too expensive to make as a moisturizer, so claim by many cosmetic companies may not live up to the expectations of customers.

Kinetin is still a good treatment option that is used in sun over exposure treatments, and is a good choice for anybody wanting a natural chemical treatment, as opposed to stronger chemicals. The fact that it is being phased out of anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams may just indicate that it is not as strong as what is now available, but for some persons, who have more sensitive skin, it may be the option they need.
