How to treat wrinkles effectively?
Wrinkles are one of the most visible signs of aging and are caused by a combination of intrinsic factors (natural aging, genetics) and extrinsic factors (UV exposure, pollution, facial expressions, and lifestyle). As we age, the skin produces less collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, resulting in loss of firmness, volume, and elasticity.
Key active ingredients for wrinkle treatment:
Retinol: A gold-standard anti-aging ingredient that stimulates collagen production, smooths fine lines, and improves skin texture.
Peptides: Small protein fragments that signal the skin to repair and regenerate, improving firmness and elasticity.
Growth factors: Bioactive molecules that boost cellular renewal and tissue repair, essential for restoring skin density and reducing deep wrinkles.
Acids (AHAs, PHAs): Gentle exfoliants that improve cell turnover, smooth skin texture, and enhance absorption of other actives.
Ceramides: Essential lipids that restore the skin barrier, prevent moisture loss, and reduce irritation caused by active ingredients like retinol or acids.
Recommended skincare routine:
Use serums or creams with retinol and peptides at night for cell regeneration.
Incorporate ceramides to protect the barrier and support skin recovery.
Apply gentle exfoliating acids to enhance texture and absorption.
Always use SPF during the day to prevent further photoaging.
