t took years of preparation but here it is: glutaredoxin! I know that it does not sound “sexy” but maybe it will after you read the following (from the patent application):

“Methods for the prevention and treatment of skin damage arising from the exposure to UV radiation, air pollution and other stressors capable of leading to the formation of free radicals, using the small dithiol protein glutaredoxin in a dermatologically acceptable carrier that can be applied topically are disclosed.  Some embodiments may include other proteins such as superoxide dismutase and/or catalase, as well as other antioxidant molecules such as reduced glutathione, vitamin E, vitamin C, lycopene, astaxanthin and/or tocotrienols.”

If you still don’t think it sounds sexy, maybe this will change your mind: think as big as vitamin C but an enzyme, like superoxide dismutase, but doing a job that neither ascorbic acid or superoxide dismutase can do.

“Glutaredoxin seems to provide antioxidant protection in human coronary arteries and placental function against the oxidative stress caused by pre-eclampsia and may even protect cerebellar granule neurons from dopamine-induced programmed cellular death. Glutaredoxin may also help catalyze the regeneration of ascorbic acid…”, so there you are!

This does not mean that using glutaredoxin will make you younger, but will certainly help keep your skin healthy.
