Anti Aging with Sasha - The science of common cosmetics ingredients

Looking at the science of face creams

Are you interested in whether or not the ingredients in your wrinkle cream are actually any good?

Lots of substances are commonly used in face creams. Sometimes there is the science to back it up, sometimes there isn't. On the right is a menu of all the face cream ingredients I have found scientific evidence for.

Please bear in mind that there are likely to be many anti-aging substances commonly used in traditional medicines that have not been tested yet. Unless the active ingredient is likely to be patentable, it is not in drug companies' interests to bother.

Note this is also true of medicine in general.
