They play an important part in maintaining healthy skin structure and function. Most of the growth factors used in cosmetics are from plants.height 334width 502originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AMPeptidesThere are different types of peptides that help to reduce the signs of photo aging. They are effective in repairing damaged and aging skin, but their results are visible only after being used between 6 to 12 weeks and must be continuously utilized.height 336width 506originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AM 1. Retinoids:Retinoic acid (Tretinoin): By prescription - Scientifically proven to improve the appearance of the signs of aging by promoting growth of new, healthy skin cells and restoring the collagen damaged over the years. It can also lighten brown spots and stimulated hyaluronic acid production.Retinol: When applied to the skin, retinol converts to retinoic acid. It is less potent than tretinoin, but its continued use can improve the appearance of aging skin signs. 2. Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) and Poly Hydroxy Acids (PHA)AHA: Alpha Hydroxy Acids, such as glycolic acid, add radiance, smooth lines, help fade blotches, and allow other anti-aging ingredients to penetrate faster and work more effectively.PHA: Ingredients such as gluconolactone and lactobionic acid are types of Poly Hydroxy Acid (PHA). They are similar to AHA, but less irritant due to their larger molecular structure, which makes them more suitable than AHA for individuals with sensitive skin. 3. Antioxidants:Vitamins: Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid is the topical antioxidant par excellence. When applied topically, vitamin C has been proven to increase collagen production, which is significant in the fight against wrinkles. Vitamin C reduces skin discoloration and helps skin better withstand exposure to sunlight. Vitamin E or alpha tocopherol works in several different ways to protect cell membranes from oxidative damage. It also works in powerful synergy with vitamin C increasing its stability. It is very important to use a serum formulation packaged in a dark bottle to prevent light exposure. The combination of these vitamins with other botanical antioxidants such as ferulic acid or phloretin may potentiate their action preventing and correcting signs of photo aging.Resveratrol: Is a potent polyphenolic antioxidant, found in, red wine, red grapes nuts, and fruits such as blueberries and cranberries. When applied topically, it protects against sun damage, improves collagen production, and reduces cell damage. Its continued use has shown improvement of aging skin signs.Green tea: The key compound in green tea that provides potent antioxidant protection is epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG) that, when used topically, can prevent collagen breakdown and reduce sun damage. 4. Growth factors: Growth factors are proteins that regulate cellular growth, proliferation and differentiation under controlled conditions. They play an important part in maintaining healthy skin structure and function. Most of the growth factors used in cosmetics are from plants.  Results from multiple controlled clinical studies have shown that the application of skin creams containing growth factors: reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as a result of new collagen synthesis, improves the appearance of age spots and evens out pigmentation, reduces skin roughness, improves skin texture and elasticity and improves skin smoothness and tightness. 5. Peptides: Peptides are a string of amino acids that are held together by bonds of nitrogen and carbon. Short chain peptides are able to penetrate the epidermis and send signals to cells, informing them how to function.There are different types of peptides that help to reduce the signs of photo aging. They are effective in repairing damaged and aging skin, but their results are visible only after being used between 6 to 12 weeks and must be continuously utilized. Once the peptides are discontinued, the results may fade.Examples of peptides are: Collagen/Elastin Building Peptides, Argireline, Matrixyl, Dermaxyl, Acetyl Glutamyl Octapeptide-3, and several more.Always remember that you can use all the right products with the best anti-aging ingredients out there but if you neglect to use sunscreen- you will not see the benefits.  Sunscreen is an important step when trying to achieve that youthful glow.

Skinuva heals scars better than them, and here's why. Skinuva™ Scar was founded by Dr. Christopher Zoumalan, a Board-Certified Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon. Inspired by his passion for science and medicine, he dedicated the past several years researching wound-healing and identifying the best techniques to recover surgical scars in his patients that underwent surgery. Although there has been major medical advancements in surgical procedures to minimize scarring, patients are still faced with concerns of visible scars that remain post-surgery. Since the introduction of silicone cream in the late 1990's there has been limited advancements in the topical scar therapy industry. Pertaining to the stagnate progress, Dr. Zoumalan and his team of scientists implemented medical literature and clinical data within their product development. Selective ingredients such as specific Growth Factors were integrated within the formulation of Skinuva™ Scar to create what is now recognized as- one of the most advanced topical scar creams. Skinuva™ Scar is the first and only scar cream in the industry that uses selective Growth Factors in its formulation.

Rejuvel 3D is an innovative skincare product, newly released to the market. NASA originally created the technology used to develop this anti-aging crème, for the growth of tissue in space. NASA’s bioreactors create a suspended microgravity environment for cell cultures to grow. This 3D technology allows for healthier cell growth without deformation due to restriction. Rejuvel’s formula stimulates fibroblast cells, these cells are responsible for connective tissue- elastic fibers and the formation of collagen. Rejuvel is recommended for:  Wrinkle reduction Dark circles and darkness reduction Increase of elasticity Increase of moisture content Rejuvel is: Free from fragrance, parabens and Synthetic dyes Leaping Bunny certified. Compatible for all skin types Recommended to be used twice daily Application: The very first application of Rejuvel is crucial according to the Rejuvel’s Vice President, John Stickler. Apply a thin mask-like application to your face and neck then allow it to sit for 25 minutes. After this time, use gentle circular motions to rub the skin, much like the removal of a gommage. You may tissue off any remaining piling skin or product with a tissue, but do not rinse the skin. Rejuvel is the first step to your skincare regime following cleanser. If you are of a more oily skin type, this crème will mostly likely suffice as your moisturizer. If you have a drier skin type, you may use an additional moisturizer applied after rejuvel has fully absorbed. Stay tuned for photo updates and progress reports from our staff at askderm.com!

Who doesn’t want their skin to “glow” & radiate beauty? How do we achieve this flawless glowing look? Well if you follow some simple steps, you can get the look everyone is striving for!      Check out these “secret tips,” & put on that beautiful smile!     1. Avoid smoking     It goes without saying that smoking is a major “no no” when it  comes to skin.  It can dry out your skin and leave you with bags under your eyes, just like you would get if you stayed up all night long.  It also causes premature aging and lots of wrinkles because it interferes with the blood supply that goes to your face. Smoking has been even associated with acne in adult women.      2.  Use an exfoliating cleanser morning and night Experts say that one of the most essential skin rituals you can engage in is exfoliating daily.   Not only can exfoliating get rid of skin problems like blemishes and dry skin, it also will leave your skin glowing.      3. Use a light moisturizer in the morning It’s essential to have a good morning skincare regime that includes a great light moisturizer.  This will keep your skin soft and hydrated.  Make sure you give careful attention to the area around your eyes.  4. Use an antioxidant serum Many people skip the vital step of using an antioxidant serum.  For example, you might want to choose a serum containing vitamin C + E + ferulic acid.  Use your antioxidant serum in the morning before you apply sunscreen.  At night, you should apply a serum that contains resveratrol to protect against photo aging.  5. Use a sunscreen daily There are a wide variety of reasons why sunscreen needs to be part of your skincare regime.  First of all, it has been proven to reduce skin cancer rates.  Additionally, it can prevent brown spots and discoloration, and reduce the appearance of blotchiness.  Sunscreen, when used daily, will also significantly slow down the skin aging process. Sunscreen should be reapplied every 2 hours, if you are spending time in the sun. There are mineral powders with SPF and compact powder with SPF that can be used to retouch.     6. Use restorative serums with growth factors at least at night Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins.  They encourage cells to develop in a healthy manner.  In fact, they take advantage of your skin’s healing abilities.  When you use growth factors, you’ll be able to preserve your youthful appearance for far longer!  This is good news for those seeking to get the glow.    7. Use an eye balm or cream morning and night The eyes are one of the first parts of the face that shows aging.  As a result, it is essential to treat them carefully by using an eye balm or cream twice a day.  A good eye cream will support the lipids in your skin and banish puffiness.  It also can improve irritated skin in a gentle manner.  When you keep the area around your eyes moist, wrinkles and lines will be far less likely to pop up.   8. Use a thermal water or moisturizing mist Many people never even think of using thermal water, but actually this treatment can help in several key ways.  A good thermal water product contains minerals and antioxidants that are healing and transformative to skin.  Feel free to use a thermal water or mist several times a day during the summer or if you are exposed to an air conditioner or heater for an extended period of time.    9. Get a facial or skin treatment Don’t overlook the value of a good facial.  If you have normal to dry skin, try a hydrating facial for the ultimate in deep cleansing.  Those with normal to oily skin should get an exfoliating treatment at least 4 times a year.  Don’t let years pass by without benefiting from this essential treatment.  It’s a major anti-aging treatment that you shouldn’t ignore. 10. Drink lots of water and sleep well If you are looking to get that “million dollar glow,” you need to treat your entire body right.  That means ensuring that you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day, as it aids in digestion and blood circulation.  You’ll also need to get enough sleep if you want to look your best.  Lack of sleep can cause inflammation and lead to skin breakouts and skin sensitivity.  So give your skin what it needs to thrive and treat yourself to a good night’s sleep.
