There are numerous threads on this subject and the common answers are invariably Retin A, vitamin C and suncreen.
I suggest doing searches on this topic and/or just read through various topics in this forum and you'll find valuable information on the above. |

| I started using glycolic acid on my mid 20's from Jan MArini and love it. Then I added C-esta and Factor a plus when I made 30's |

I second Kristy's suggestions!! I know I've said this in numerous posts, but I sincerely wished that I had taken better care of my skin in my 20's and 30's. Particularly, the use of a high-quality sunscreen if nothing else! |

| Aging is a result of the body's inability to renew cells as it did earlier in life. The foods we eat devoid of life generating minerals cause our immune system to weaken. The brain slows its production of natural human growth hormone, which results the gray hair, wrinkles, catching more colds than earlier in life, no energy. Colloidal Silver, a natural immune support used in the body. A colloidal silver used with aloe vera is best healer of pimples and acne. It kills harmful germs while supporting the immune system. It can can heal , wounds, cuts, rashes, and sunburn |

| If you don't have many wrinkles, acne, or age-related concerns right now, I would suggest staying away from retin A unless you really have to. Vitamin C, a good exfoliator, a good moisturizer, and sunscreen may be all you need for now. I used Dermalogica products in my 30s, and I thought that was a medium-strength product line that was good to use. I had room to move up (stronger) later on in life. |

The more I read about Retin-A and the possibility of the Hayflick limit I tend to agree. I've read stories of people who've used it for years and they look 10-20 years younger than their peers, others who think they aged from using it.
Recently on another board there has been discussion of an ingredient called Renovage. It contains teprenone which protects cellular DNA through lengthening telomeres. That might be a good option:
http://www.gardenofwisdom.com/catalog/item/7227435/7443071.htm
I was reading last night that retinol is much safer than Retin-A for long term use. There are several on the market with decent strengths; Green Cream, Afirm and ncnproskincare.com 1-2%
http://www.ncnproskincare.com/new-items/strongest-all-trans-retinol-1.0-2.0.html
Get on a good low carb diet like the Zone or Perricone. Commit to exercise and lift weights. Take lots of supplements like vitamin C, reseveratrol, carnosine, alpha lipoic acid, MSM, etc. Things that support cell protection and longevity. I wasn't as consistent with a lot of the anti aging health stuff and now at 40 wish I had been.
Use a good sunscreen, one with a relatively high UVA/ppd protection level. European sunscreens are an option, Neutrogena with helioplex is about as good as it gets in the states.
Don't overexfoliate. Use manual exfoliation like the Clarisonic and enzyme based products. I've been noticing lately how many celebs are named when an enzyme line like Tracie Martyn or Epicuren come up:

There are of course cheaper enzyme products. |

All of the information I have read regarding Retin-A (tretinoin, all-trans retinoic acid) and it's effect on telomeres is that it lengthens them. I haven't seen any that indicates it shortens them. Could you please provide links that support that it does? |

I would think that if anything, it would raise the limit since it lengthen telomeres.

There really is no difference between retinol and Retin-A. The anti aging effet of retinol is due to the fact that it's converted to tretinoin (Retin A) by the body.
My 2 cents. All the best,

| The only anti aging a person in their 20s needs is a sunscreen for day. At night its your choice. Serious anti aging (whats so anti about aging anyway); that really gets me....should begin at 40. |

| Revive skin care line.I like the moisturizing renewal cream and the night cream called creme lustre is the bomb. I believe its the top skin care line available.Invented by a plastic surgeon who was frustrated because he could perform surgery yet he could not give the women the young healthy glow they had in their youth...until he formulated this skin care line. |

vitamin C and sunscreen are most recommended, while Retin A you can use at early of 30s. I have regretted for not starting to use sunscreen at my 20s  |

If I had one piece of advice I could go back in time and implement in my 20's, it is that sunscreen alone is not enough for large amounts of sun exposure. I'm a biologist (with ultra fair skin) and have done many summers of field work in hot sunny places. When you are outdoors in the sun for hours and hours, day after day, even diligent use of high spf sunscreen is not enough.
I spent too many summer running around in tank tops and sunblock thinking I was protected, and my arms and decollete and to a lesser degree my face have taken the hits. I have developed a severe allergic type reaction to the sun in these areas of my body; if I get sun exposure, even with sunblock, I develop ugly raised red rashes that take several days to clear up.
Only recently have I learned how much more protective clothing plus sunblock can be. Now I wear lightweight long sleeve shirts buttoned down around my wrists, buttoned all the way up to neck, collar turned up to cover more skin, wide-brimmed hat with a protective flap covering my neck, and even wear fingerless gloves, because the tops of my hands break out in a rash if I do not.
I look like a dorky vampiric nun doing field work now, but oh well. Better late than never!
edited to add: I buy high quality sports clothing made from ultralight spf 50 fabric for my field work. Brands like Columbia and North Face. Expensive but worth it! |
