AN active ingredient readily available in many skincare products is the best solution for defying the signs of aging, according to a skin doctor.

Dr. Miriam Adebibe is a UK-trained regenerative skin doctor, who runs an independent practice specializing in skin health and aesthetics treatments.
Her experience includes working in the NHS and offering clients an approach to skincare that considers their diet alongside topical products.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, she revealed little-known tips for minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.
VITAL VITAMIN
Dr. Adebibe said active skincare is of the “utmost importance” for an ageless appearance that doesn’t rely on Botox.
“Stimulate collagen production to improve the texture of your skin under the eyes with active vitamin A, vitamin C, and alpha-hydroxy acids,” she said.
“Active vitamin A is available on prescription and is stronger than retinol.
“It is the single most effective skincare ingredient for reducing the appearance of sun damage, lines, wrinkles, large pores, and brown patches.”
Vitamin A can be found in many creams and moisturizers, as well as in supplements.
According to Healthline, there are two forms of vitamin A.
Retinol and retinyl esters are found in animal products such as dairy, fish, and liver, but provitamin A carotenoids are sourced from plant foods.
Dr. Adebibe added that it’s important to routinely wear SPF as prevention is better than cure to reverse UV damage to the skin.
TRUSTED TREATMENTS
Dr. Adebibe revealed that there are a range of regenerative treatments that “greatly” improve fine lines and wrinkles.
Dermal fillers and polynucleotides are among the best for targeting the signs of aging around the eyes.
Polynucleotide treatment is the most exciting addition to under-eye treatments of late.

“Dermal filler can be used to replace volume directly under the eyes for those who have developed tear trough hollows with crinkly skin,” she said.
“Polynucleotide treatment is the most exciting addition to under-eye treatments of late.
“These fragments of DNA instruct your own cells to regenerate themselves and are then quickly kicked out of your body.
“The skin feels tighter, looks smoother, and the tissues below it are more plump.
“And the best thing is, it’s all you. No dermal filler sitting in your tissues.”
Dr. Adebibe said there is also 30 years of “brilliant evidence” supporting the use of microneedling for rejuvenating the skin.
“Tiny needles are used to cause thousands of micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating the skin to produce elastin and collagen whilst improving all skin functions,” she said.
“It is used to improve skin texture around the eyes with many other benefits for the rest of the face too.”
