Dermatologist Shereene Idriss names four ingredients that work for skin in your 40s: retinol and peptides boost collagen and elastin, growth factors improve elasticity, and coenzyme Q10 protects against damage.
Here are four effective tightening products for the 40 plus range. I'm a board certified dermatologist. Let's go. Number one retinol. It will help stimulate your activity within your fibroblasts to help boost your collagen production. Number two Peptides. They signal our skin in different ways ranging from collagen production to even muscle relaxation to a certain extent. Number three we have growth factors. They are similar to both retinols and peptides, but they have the added benefit of aligning your collagen fibers so your skin has extra elasticity. Last, coenzyme Q10. This is also known as ubiquinone, which is an antioxidant protecting your skin from degradation from environmental stress while also promoting the synthesis of elastin and of course, collagen.
