Are any of you using an anti-glycation product? If so, what? TIA

Life Extension brand makes a face serum called anti glycation. You can google it.

Yes, quite a while ago. I used it for a while...and then quit. It is not for quick changes...more for long term protection . I use so many things sometimes...too many to keep up with them all.

I started doing research on this about a year ago. You reminded me I never quite finished. Nice to see a topic like this posted on the Board.

Can someone give a lay person's perspective on what glycation is and why you are avoiding it? Anything to do with diabetes? (I'm so ""lay"" in medical things!)

Harpa, basically glycation is the reaction of sugars with skin molecules that can cause the loss of collagen and signs of aging. Antioxidants can stop glycation. There is a very good article here that explains the whole thing more clearly (note that this is from a website that sells supplements and products, but the information about glycation is sound): http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2009/nov2009_Prevent-Glycation-Induced-Skin-Aging-with-Topical-Nutrie...

Elvis, you don't need something that is specifically labeled as anti-glycation, ingredients like blueberry, pomegranate, vitamin c, tea, and hyaluronic acid protect against glycation. If you use serums or moisturizers containing these ingredients, then you're already using anti-glycation products.
