Melatonin
Topical application of melatonin-based day and night creams visibly softens crow's feet by fifteen percent while smoothing skin texture, enhancing firmness, and relieving dryness for women experiencing moderate to severe aging. This gentle active ingredient suits most skin types and is readily available in nourishing serums. Furthermore, it layers easily into any existing daily routine.
