Wrinkles are a symptom of structural failure in the dermis. They indicate that the skin is losing its ability to support its own weight, and that fibroblasts in the dermis are losing their capacity to attach to collagen fibers and transmit mechanical information.

This article reports on an arabinoxylans-rich rye extract that stimulates the skin’s own lifting properties and boosts the mechanical resistance of the dermis.
