There are so many products and ingredients that tout 'increase in this', 'decrease in that' , 'revitalized this and revitalized that' and on and on and on. Many empty promises or over-hyped formulations.In order to understand what anti-aging skin care products are intended to do, you have to first understand about what the aging process is for skin. Aging skin has the condition where the structural proteins that bind and support the skin, collagen and elastin, lose their resiliency and cohesion, causing the skin to wrinkle and/or sag.

Without proper hydration, the healing mechanisms of the skin cease to function, adversely affecting the skin's ability to receive nutrients and repair itself. The result is rough, lose, wrinkled skin.Of course, we all want to have the best skin possible at any age and are searching for solutions to...more
