30 Year Old Male and Skincare. How To Slow Aging Process?
I'm a 30 year old caucasian male and I feel like my skin is aging faster than it should. I have oily skin sometimes and then dry/combination other times. I need a simple skincare region that won't take up all my day that will also help with anti-aging. The pores on my face are large and I'm developing wrinkles on my forehead. I've tried multiple products but can't seem to find the right products. I also have sensitive skin as well. thanks

Male skin care for aging.
The single most effective, and only FDA approved, treatment for anti aging are compunds called retinoids, which are vitamin A derivates. Over the counter versions of products which contain retinol (like Olay ProX) work in the same way but are a little less potent. Retinoids also shrink pores to some degree, but can be irritating to "sensitive" skin. Many people who have sensitive skin actually have rosacea, a treatable, acne-like, condition.
