Walk down the aisle at any drug store, and see a dozen wrinkle creams? But do they work? Well scientic studies do back up the claims for Vitamin A (Retinol) application to the skin. Wrinkles and brown spots, associated with aging, do shop up earlier on skin that gets a lot of sun exposure.

After a study at The University of Michigan Medical School, this was reported:
“Topical retinol improves fine wrinkles associated with natural aging,” the authors conclude. “Significant induction of glycosaminoglycan, which is known to retain substantial water, and increased collagen production are most likely responsible for wrinkle effacement [reduction]. With greater skin matrix synthesis [production of compounds that form new skin], retinol-treated aged skin is more likely to withstand skin injury and ulcer formation along with improved appearance.”
The research is described in the May issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. (Arch Dermatol. 2007;143:606-612)
