Skincare help for aging, wrinkles
Hi Doctor. I have learnt that topical application of vitamin C is extremely helpful for preventing and smoothing out wrinkles, fine lines etc. However, vitamin A is also supposed to be great for anti aging. How true is this? If true then the market is flooded with vitamin C and vitamin A serums. Some serums have both vitamin A and C. So should we use serums with either vitamin A or C or the ones with both? Please suggest an effective and, affordable serum available in India that I can buy.

there are many brands but all have similar efficacy. just vitamin C alone is not enough for wrinkles. also, the combination preparations that some brands market is absolute hogwash because vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin and vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin and they cannot have stability in the same solution. but, the quality products of vitamin C tend to be expensive unfortunately. For Vitamin A still a cheaper variant may be tried.. although not ideal. You should send me images through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem and approaching it accordingly. Hope this is helpful.
