Anti wrinkle vitamin A lotion
Skin lotion with vitamin A (retinol) may help reduce wrinkles. In a study of 36 elderly people researchers applied 0.4 percent retinol lotion to an upper inner arm of each participant and control lotion with no retinol to the other arm. The lotions were applied up to three times a week for 24 weeks. Wrinkles, roughness and overall aging were reduced on the arms that received the retinol lotion compared with the arms that received the control lotion. Skin biopsies showed increased production of glycosaminoglycan and procollagen -- structural components of the skin -- on the arms that received the retinol lotion.

You can find vitamin A in an excellent doctor-formulated multivitamin product. For dry skin information.
