Results from in-vivo clinical research have revealed for the first time the noxious effects of tropospheric ozone pollution (O3) on human skin ageing, alongside the potential for antioxidant skin protection. The study, SkinCeuticals, which will be published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology demonstrates that exposure to O3 damages skin by triggering oxidative and inflammatory responses, while decreasing collagen levels. Results confirmed that a daily antioxidant regime of C E Ferulic or Phloretin CF provides a significant protective function against the signs of atmospheric skin ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles and discolouration.
