The pathogenesis of skin aging is well defined.

It is characterized by a decrease in collagen synthesis and an increase in collagen breakdown, mediated by metalloproteinases (Arch. Dermatol. 138[11]:1462-70, 2002).

This net loss in dermal collagen is believed to cause wrinkling.

Biologic factors that stimulate collagen production in wound healing might provide similar benefits for aging skin.

Accordingly, growth factors, peptide fragments, and other biologically active molecules are being incorporated into antiaging cosmeceuticals.
