Antioxidants
Antioxidants are chemicals (both naturally occurring and man-made) that can prevent or slow cell damage. An “antioxidant” is actually not a substance; it’s a behavior. Any compound that can donate electrons and counteract free radicals has antioxidant properties.  Natural antioxidants are mainly found in fruits and vegetables, marine plants, and some seafood that eat marine plants. There are thousands of antioxidant compounds out there, but the most common dietary ones are vitamins A, C, and E, beta-carotene, and lycopene. Antioxidants can also be produced artificially and consumed in supplement form. Source: Greatist

Peptides
Peptides are a protein that can stimulate new cells to grow and help skin cells to heal, and are found in dozens of products currently on the market. If they work, they do so by stimulating the replacement of collagen, elastin, and other components that suffer during aging. Peptides as good hydrating skin when they are found in moisterizers, which, in turn, ‘can make lines less noticeable.  They are commonly used [for] getting rid of dead skin cells, allowing new cells to grow.  ‘It allows the deeper layer of the skin to come to surface faster — which speeds up the cycle of skin turnover.’  Source: DailyMail

Vitamin A
Best overall age-fighter you can find it in OTC lotions, night creams (vitamin A derivatives are known as retinoids), and prescription products, proven to reduce wrinkles, fade brown spots, and smooth roughness. “There are more than 700 published studies on retinoids—they’re tried-and-true ingredients. Anyone who wants younger-looking skin should use one,” says Doris Day, MD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at New York University Langone Medical Center. Source: Prevention
