Skin aging is a multisystemic process that begins in the mid-twenties. We differentiate intrinsic and extrinsic aging. Intrinsic (chronological) aging is a natural process, while extrinsic aging is conditioned by external factors and is often called photoaging. Photoaging of the skin is directly correlated with the amount of UV rays exposed during life and is generally manifested earlier than chronological aging. Photodamaged skin is characterized by hyperpigmentation spots, decreasing levels of collagen and elastin, and wrinkles. Individuals's skin who spend more time outside, have fair skin, or live in sunny climates ages faster. In order to prevent skin damage caused by UV rays, products with a protective factor are used. We distinguish between products with chemical and mineral filters that can be found in different cosmetic forms (eg cream, fluid, lotion, milk, etc.). In order to prevent and treat photoaging, products containing vitamin C, azelaic acid and retinoids are used. Studies confirm that retinoids are the most effective in photoaging. The most commonly used are tretinoin, retinol and retinal. They should be introduced with caution due to a possible retinoid reaction characterized by itching, redness and scaling of the skin. Pregnant women, lactating women and women planning to become pregnant are advised to avoid the use of retinoids due to their teratogenic effect, and the use of glycolic acid, vitamin C and bakuchiol is suggested.
