Honey versus anti-winkle cream

Dermatocare started as skin care blog concentrated around Dermatology; however with research we realised that there is lot more than allopathy when it come to skin care. One such proof is this blog. Our research about honey coincidentally clashed with analysis of reputed anti-wrinkle cream; to our surprise honey scored higher. The details are tabulated below:

Benefit	Honey	Anti-wrinkle cream
Moisturizer	Yes	Glycerine and water
Vitamins	Six (riboflavin, niacin, pantathonic acid, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin C)	Four (tocopherol, niacin, vitamin C, pantathonic acid)
Anti-oxidants	Multiple (Chrysin, pinobanksin, catalase, pinocembrin)	One (green tea)
Minerals	Zinc, selenium	None
Amino acids	18-20 amino acids mostly Proline	None
Organic acids	Many especially Gluconic acid	None
Anti-septic	anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties	None
Preservative	Natural	Synthetic
