Skin Care

   It is hard to tell which ones are effective among all the products that we can purchase to put on our skin, but according to Mayo Clinic, only broad-based sunscreen and retinol - a vitamin A antioxidant, and alpha hydroxy have demonstrated effectiveness in research to help protect our skin and to diminish wrinkles.    Retinol, a vitamin A antioxidant compound that helps prevent skin cell breakdown may also promote production of collagen, which gives skin its fullness.  

   Alpha hydroxy acid is an ingredient that helps remove the upper layer of old, dead skin and stimulate growth of smooth, evenly pigmented skin.   So, perhaps we can save money by buying only the skin products that are effective.
