Vitamin
A (Retinol) - Topical
Vitamin A has been suggested to help build
collagen fibers within the skin in
addition to its more superficial
exfoliating property. This is the basis
for its use in minimizing the appearance
of fine wrinkle lines. Vitamin A or
Retinol is the main ingredient found in
TYK Young Again, M.D. Forte, DDF and
SkinScience products.
Vitamin
C - Vitamin C or ascorbic acid
acts as an antioxidant and is considered
vital in wound healing because it aids in
stabilizing collagen. When applied
topically, vitamin C can reduce fine lines
and wrinkles and may lessen the severity
of sunburns. This healing ingredient
is found in SkinCeuticals, Cellex C and
Obagi Cffectives skin care products.
Vitamin
E - Vitamin E is another
antioxidant that shows to have
anti-inflammatory effects on the skin.
When applied topically, vitamin E has been
shown to improve moisturization, softness
and smoothness and also provides modest
photo protection. Vitamin E is found
in Cellex C, Exuviance and MD Forte
products.
