"Retinol, retinaldehyde, tretinoin, trifarotene, adapalene, tarotene. Topical forms of vitamin A that are active and are well established to improve the visible signs of skin aging, including hyperpigmentation. When used consistently, these ingredients can improve collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, lessening the appearance of wrinkles, and they also help put the brakes on and accelerate clearance of hyperpigmentation. They smooth the skin surface. They compact the stratum corneum. They improve skin cell turnover, which naturally gets a little slow with age. They also help suppress some of the activation of collagen destroying enzymes when you go out in the sun."

"opt for normal things like we all use hyaluronic acid to help hydrate and plump your skin, vitamin C and antioxidant to help fight free radicals and keep your skin protecting from UV light, sunscreen every morning and retinol at night. Those products will get you so much further."
