Skin aging is an inevitable process and the
highest contributing factor to this process is the effect of ultraviolet rays.
However, nutrients, dry skin, smoking, hormones and gravity are also other
important factors. Skin aging is classified as intrinsic (chronological) and
extrinsic (photo-aging). Generally, in aged skin, effects such as thinning,
loss of elasticity, spotting, wrinkles and sagging are observed.
There are various approaches to preventing
skin aging. The most widely used age combating substances in cosmeceuticals are
kinetin, retinoids, sun filters, herbal ingredients (such as resveratrol,
turmeric, and green tea), and antioxidants (such as alpha-tocopherol, ascorbic
acid, coenzyme Q10 and lipoic acid). In recent years, these molecules have been
formulated as nanosized carriers such as vesicular systems, polymeric and lipid
nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, dendrimers, and fullerenes. Novel carrier systems
have a lot of advantages when compared to conventional formulations. In this
review, an overview of cosmetic, product-oriented solutions for skin aging is
given and different approaches to combat aging are summarized.
