How Do Anti-Wrinkle Creams Work?
This week Reactions is looking at the chemistry behind anti-aging creams. We headed to the science to see if the claims to make your skin smooth are true!
Skin can stay firm and stretchy thanks to protein fibers called collagen and elastin in the tissue beneath the surface. But environmental factors like smoking or ultraviolet rays from the sun can produce free radicals that damage skin cellsโ ability to make more of these supports. Anti-wrinkle products claim they keep the skin surface fresh and rejuvenate these cells, but does their chemistry legit?

Reactions' comment on microneedling would be awesome. Looks like everybody's getting it done, or doing it by themselves.
Can you do a video on parabens??
At 0:19 there is a slight flaw.
There is a LOT of living skin cells in the epidermis; the melanocytes that help protect the skin from UV-radiation is found in the basal layer (stratum basale) of the epidermis, and you have tons of immune cells in the spinous layer (stratum spinosum), just above the basal layer.
Only the outermost layer, the cornified layer (stratum corneum), is composed of dead cells ๐
Great video! I learned a lot — and will definitely think twice before spending $$ on creams with dubious scientific evidence that they actually work.
Great video! learned a lot, but what about scar-removing creams? are they effective? Just a suggestion for another video
OKAY. I WONT't BE BEAUTIFUL ….WHATEVER….I DONT CARE!!!
Alright cousin!!! Great job both informative and interesting. Well done Trina, proud of you.
Nice to hear some talk about the actual ingredients.
Awesome video, subscribing! It would be great if you guys had a video on all the vitamins, I saw Ms.Beautyphile had one on vitamin D that was quite informative. It seems like a topic that keeps coming up.
Thankfully, atleast science, can't be called fake news ๐
cream can do anything
