That's got the most evidence for, you know, collagen stimulation and slowing down signs of aging in terms of skincare.

past SPF, vitamin B, which is anti-inflammatory and soothing, and vitamin C, which is an antioxidant, which is great for preventing environmental damage and the free radicals that we have through everyday life from causing the damage.

And then we've got SPF, P for peptides.

So peptides are

You know, there are some neuropeptides.

So these are topical molecules that can potentially reduce the superficial muscles from contracting as strongly as they normally do.

And that may help with fine lines and wrinkles, but they also signal collagen production as well.

Yeah, we see a lot of that.

People are calling it like toxin a bottle.

Yeah.

Yeah, and again, it might be the closest thing to toxin bottle, but it's not.

Nothing compares to you.

And so that's skincare.

And then, you know, beyond that, it's other lifestyle factors like don't smoke, don't drink too much, get sleep.

Exercise, those things are all going to help us.

All the non-fun things.

The only thing that, you know, we might consider as a non-injectable alternative for dynamic wrinkles are these anti-wrinkle patches you might have seen around.

Mm-hmm.

What's good is that taping?

Yeah, so it's basically a form of a hydrocolloid dressing or tape and most people apply it at night to the area where they have the wrinkles so it stops the skin folding in that area.
