Israel scientists have developed a new method for fighting skin wrinkles.

Scientists at the Hebrew University and the Bar-Ilan University succeeded in isolating a plant-based antioxidant that delays the aging process by countering the breakdown of collagen fibers in the skin, according to a report Thursday on the science news website of Alpha-Galileo.

Antioxidants operate against free radicals found in small quantities in the body which cause a breakdown of many tissues such as the collagen and elastin fibers in the body, including the skin and when this happens, there is a loss of skin elasticity and the formation of wrinkles, according to leading research Dr. Orit Bossi from the Hebrew University.

"A problem with many of the commercial antioxidants found today in the market that are said to retard the aging process is that they oxidize quickly and therefore their efficiency declines with time," Bossi was quoted as saying.
