The cream containing vitamin A significantly reduces the number of wrinkles in the elderly.

The cream not only improves the appearance of the skin, but also smoothes wrinkles, increasing the concentration of substances in the skin that are responsible for skin regeneration.

Scientists from the University of Michigan describe their study, obtained by analyzing skin samples of 23 patients using a cream with vitamin A in the journal Archives of Dermatology.

Over time, a person grows old and his skin begins to produce less collagen, which causes the skin to become thinner and less smooth.

The name of the cream that scientists researched was not disclosed, because at the beginning of this year the report of the research center in Manchester on the so-called "cream number 7" caused a shopping hype. In a few days the whole cream was bought from the shelves of shops.

This time, scientists just reported a "cream containing retinol".

To determine the quality of the impact, the team scored a group of 36 people aged 87 and asked to apply two types of creams, with and without vitamin, on the inner surface of the hand.

After 24 weeks of application, small skin samples were taken from the surface of both hands for examination.

13 people did not complete the study, since they did not see any benefits of using creams.

However, when analyzing skin samples, it was determined that where the cream was applied, the amount of collagen increased and the skin was healthier and more structured than where the cream was not applied.

In addition to the younger type, older people were given the additional advantage of applying creams: their skin was more resistant to damage and ulceration.

According to the press-secretary of the British Society for the Study of Skin Problems, creams with T-retinol are an effective tool to combat aging and are recognized as a medical tool to combat aging.
