When it comes to anti wrinkle creams, you may have heard the term copper peptides. Copper peptides are a wound healing compound, part of the quick regeneration of cells, when you cut your finger and the blood clots, and copper peptides rush to speed healing of the skin, then a scarring is produced, and then as the scar fades, new skin surfaces with the blood vessels and other traits in place, in a renewed sense. This is how the principle of copper peptides works in the anti aging, anti wrinkle process.

Many Indian tribes used Witch Hazel as a medicinal treatment. It is one of the few medicinal treatments allowed by the Federal Drug Administration today, as a topical treatment. There are many other herbal extracts allowed as dietary supplements, but witch hazel is one of the few still allowed in topical treatments. It was widely used topically for hemorrhoids, insect bites and stings, skin ulcers, tumors, boils and other rashes, such as chiggers or poison ivy.
