Results: Different compounds are analyzed from a preventive and reparative used. It is observed how the use of many of them can have a dual action, and these compounds can be used with a hydrating and antioxidant purpose moreover the effects taken may be varied and with different intensity. Therefore proteoglycans, hyaluronic acid, peptides, melatonin and DHEA, two hormones recently used, are studied. Among the analyzed antioxidants, vitamin E and polyphenols seem to be more evidence that supporting their beneficial effect. Conclusions: The combination of several cosmetic compounds is a factor to be taken into account. In this sense, the future of anti-aging treatment may depend of a previous genetic study and the development of appropriate formulation for each type of skin.
