Technological advances in anti-aging skin care have produced potent serums, lotions, and creams that contain natural ingredients engineered to boost your skin’s collagen production while fighting free-radical damage. They also have the ability to repair damage caused by the sun.
Cosmetic science is to thank for the use of peptides and growth factors, which play a role in collagen production, in products promising firmer, younger-looking skin. Another breakthrough ingredient is inositol, a relative of vitamin B. According to Alex Khadavi, MD, FAAD, of the University of Southern California, “Inositol has been associated with improvement of hair growth, as well as improvement of skin.”
Myo-inositol, the most prominent natural form of inositol, has been shown to strengthen hair cells, helping them retain moisture. It also helps stimulate hair growth, while low levels can lead to hair loss, skin dryness, and even eczema.
