These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: ferulic acid, phloretin.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
