A story on aging in the November 2010 of Men’s Health reinforces something that MenScience has known along: Retinol is one of the most effective ingredients in men’s anti-aging skincare products.
“This vitamin A derivative activates the gene that triggers cells to produce collagen,” Dr. Leslie Baumann, a Miami Beach dermatologist, told the magazine. “Collagen forms the scaffolding that keeps wrinkles from forming.”
Retinol is just one step of the men’s anti-aging equation, however. The MenScience Anti-Aging Formula takes anti aging a step further. Not only does it contain retinol, but also other ingredients recommended by dermatologists to combat the signs of aging. Peptides, alpha lipoic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are included in the formula to help significantly improve the appearance of fine lines and revitalize tone and texture.
So if you want to not look your age, a retinol product should be your first line of defense; complement it with an eye cream for men and SPF 30 sunblock. An eye cream reduces the appearance of puffy eyes, which can make you look older and tired, while the sunblock protects your skin from the increased sun sensitivity that retinol brings.
Together, these products will help make sure that your skin maintains a youthful appearance for a very long time.
