In summer season, the skin care shelves in stores are packed with antiaging products and claims. Here are the topical ingredients clinically shown to help diminish the fine lines and wrinkles that appear when collagen fibres break down.
Vitamin A: Often listed as restinol, it penetrates skin to increase collagen production, eventually smoothing lines.
Vitamin C: It can stimulate collagen to help build up your skin and smooth and fade lines. It works best when you apply it at night.
Vitamin E: Look on the label for DL-alpha-topopherol; it blocks the cancer-causing effect of UV light and slows the production of wrinkles. And vitamin E enhances the efficiency of sunscreen, decreasing redness and swelling after sun exposure.
Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA): Used as an exfoliant, it's also listed as glycolic acid. By peeling off the top layer of dead skin, it gives you a more youthful appearence.
Vitamin B3 (niacin): It helps shield skin from toxins and decreaes brown blotches. It helps ease the irritation that can be a side effect of vitamin A creams.
