    GlossarySkin Elasticity

    ability of skin to stretch and return to shape

    Skin elasticity, also known as skin resilience or suppleness, refers to the skin's ability to stretch and then return to its original shape. This property is primarily due to the presence of elastin and collagen fibers in the dermis. As we age or due to factors like sun exposure and smoking, these fibers can degrade, leading to reduced elasticity and the formation of wrinkles and sagging skin.

      in Research/Science  9 upvotes 3 months ago
      Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
