With age, the condition of the skin is highly dependent on the internal health of the body, including the content of vitamins and microelements in the blood and tissues.
“Cosmetics products have good number of vitamins, which absorbs to the skin quickly. Some serums are enriched with Vitamins and do help a lot quickly on the skin. But the use of these products, of course, will not replace a balanced diet and is incomparable with the role of the general metabolism in the body,” Romanenko explained.
According to the doctor, the effectiveness of many vitamins when applied externally has been proven and has stood the test of time. For example, products with retinol and its derivatives are recommended for various cosmetic and dermatological problems.
Retinoic acid accelerates skin renewal and stimulates the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and collagen. Thus, the severity of pigmentation and wrinkles, as well as dry skin, is reduced.
Vitamin B3 is part of drugs that slow down aging processes in the skin, including in its deep layers. Vitamin B5 (panthenol) promotes the restoration and regeneration of the epidermis, suppresses inflammatory reactions and increases skin hydration .
“Many therapeutic agents have been created on the basis of panthenol for healing skin lesions and burns. In cosmetics, it is used in products for sensitive skin, for its recovery after peeling,” the cosmetologist said.
Ascorbic acid is also an important component of cosmetics. Regular use of such drugs can reduce the severity of wrinkles, even out skin color, and stimulate collagen synthesis.
“It helps in brighten up your skin tone, with the improved texture of the skin as acne prone and reduces the excess of wrinkles as well. Vitamin C restores skin density, reduces damage associated with sunburn and resists inflammatory changes with skin irritation,” the doctor explained.
The cosmetologist emphasized that in any case it is important to understand why any symptoms have arisen, and only then eliminate their causes.
