What Is Kinetin And Is It Helpful In Anti Aging Creams?

November 3, 2008 by Julie Samtsonn 

When looking at types of anti-aging creams and anti wrinkle creams, there are various active ingredients that are often used. These are Retinol-based, Hydroxy acid based, Antioxidants, Copper Peptides, Coenzyme Q10, or Kinetin. Anti-aging solutions and anti wrinkle creams work by moisturizing new cell growth, while removing the upper layer of dead, dry skin cells. With Kinetin, it can often be sold in conjunction with an exfoliate or by itself promising that the dead skin cells will come off on their own. New moisturized cells will then begin to emerge.

Kinetin is considered as a 'super moisturizer' and is found growing naturally in plants (as plant growth hormone). It is this growth hormone found in plants that restarts a broken or pruned branch with twice the growth it had before. So it is similar to healing compound. Many people make use of Kinetin instead of Retinol based treatment because the side effects that occur in some individuals using Retinol.

In cosmetics, Kinetin is often used in the form of coconut milk or aloe, or other plant derivatives. While Kinetin is believed to be a moisture retention agent found in anti aging creams and anti wrinkle creams, it's real benefits have been unproven. While skin treatments that advertise hydrating results, will naturally have an effect on dry skin cells, which will make skin appear dry, or aged and lacking a glow, Kinetin products will sometimes claim it is best used by persons in tropical type climates, where excessive moisturizing is needed and may be too much for persons not needing the excess moisture.

There is much new technology in anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams, so not many products on the market are promoting the natural plant growth ingredient of Kinetin. Some of the creams that previously used Kinetin are no longer on the market, other than sell out the product in inventory.

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 option that is used for things like exposure to UV rays and it is a good choice for people needing a natural chemical treatment without the stronger chemicals. The fact that it is slowly being phased out of the anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams available may just be a sign that it is not as strong as what is available in other creams. However, for people with sensitive skin it might be a very good option.
