So, if elastin buildup is causing wrinkles, then do treatments that reduce wrinkles (like salicyclic acid) reduce elastin?
It seems no, they probably increase elastin production, and are thought to reduce wrinkles because they increase production of other things (like collagen) as well. [I note this is a pretty big inference from that one study, and I’m trusting more in the fact that I first came across that claim when trying to discover the link between the two.]
