There is currently a wealth of products in the anti-ageing market claiming to do amazing things.

However, beware of false profits! Although the majority of these products do act well as a moisturiser and are good for your skin, there are a limited number of products that have any real effect on anti-ageing.

In the current climate one in three women over thirty use an anti-ageing product but the authorities on anti-ageing say lifestyle has the largest effect on the ageing process and perhaps this is the place to start.

The ingredients found within many anti-ageing products do have proven effects on the skin:

• Vitamin A can help diminish the depth of wrinkles, thanks to its light inflammatory action which 'puffs up' the skin to make wrinkles look less deep.
• Vitamin C has a brightening effect as it can help to boost circulation and collagen production.
• Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs or 'fruit acids') improve the skin's appearance by speeding up the shedding of old, dead cells from the skin surface.
• Retinoids are chemicals that make the skin produce new cells more quickly, making it thicker and more compact. After a month or two of use, the skin becomes smoother and fine wrinkles are reduced, but after six months it will be as good as it's going to get. If you discontinue use, the skin reverts to its previous condition. Has no effect on noticeable deep lines or thread veins.
