A number of skin care authorities consider that a skin care plan should include a high quality anti wrinkle cream. Wrinkle treatments were used to be moisturizers in the early days and they work only on the surface of the skin. Dr. Barrie Finnin, a renowned professor of product formulation remarked that the demand of the market has brought about changes on the mechanism of the wrinkle treatment. This has made the products more effective in reducing wrinkles. Nanotechnology is the name of the new technology used to produce formulated substances that can permeate the skin. No more does the cream just work on the skins surface, but it also penetrates past the skin to improve the skins condition, making it look more young and vibrant.



Natural Advantage skin care system by Jane Seymour prevents aging process by reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It entails three primary products which are Daily Cleansing Gel, All Day Moisture and Nighttime Renewal Complex. They are designed to work together to fight against wrinkles and other effects of aging.

The active component in Natural Advantage is Retinol, an ingredient commonly used in anti wrinkle creams. It is a derivative of Vitamin A which is an antioxidant. It promotes the synthesis of new collagen which accelerate your skins natural renewing process. This helps your skin to look youthful and even. Fine lines and wrinkles will soon vanish, or at least look less prominent. However, applying too much of Retinol can leave you with dry skin.

Since it is a common ingredient, the manufacturer developed MicroSponge, a new delivery system to set the product apart from its competitors. Journal of Current Drug Delivery did mention that Microsponge delivery systems can provide increased efficacy for topically active agents with enhanced safety, extended product stability. Nevertheless, the dynamics on how it works is not revealed.

In Cosmetic Dermatology January 2005, Dr Zoe Diana Draleos pointed out that the effectiveness of the skin care products relies on the formulation and the concentration. But the company did not reveal the concentration level of the Retinol in the Natural Advantage cream. Furthermore, there is lack of scientific test on MicroSponge. Without these information, there is no way to tell if the product truly lives up to its claim.

During a test, 95% of women reported improvement within 14 days using the Natural Advantage system. After 8 weeks, the results gradually improved. They observed that they had smaller-looking pores, silkier skin, diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, brighter skin tone and color, and less visible age spots.
