  Background: Available data suggests that the manifestation of aging has a strong genetic basis, which can modify an individual ‘ s susceptibility to specific skin aging signs. Proteins such as matrix metalloproteinases, aquaporins, filaggrin, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase have specific roles. Their encoding genes present single nucleotide polymorphisms resulting in different responses to skin aging for elasticity, hydration, barrier function and wrinkles. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the anti-ageing and anti-oxidant efficacy of a skin care regimen designed to address the specific needs of a certain genetic risk profile: high risk for collagen breakdown, medium risk for antioxidant production and low risk for dehydration and impaired barrier function. Methods: DN.. View More»
