Supplements
Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin derived from the microalgae, Haematococcus pluvialis, One study performed over 8 weeks combined 6 mg per day oral supplementation and 2 ml (78.9 μM solution) per day topical application. There were noticeable improvements in skin wrinkles, age spot size, elasticity, texture, moisture content, and corneocyte condition. NOTE: these changes took between 4-8 weeks to become visible. Another study over 6 weeks of oral supplementation again showed improvements in crow's feet wrinkle and elasticity, transepidermal water loss, moisture content and sebum oil level at the cheek zone.[2]. It also helps protect the skin against UV damage, especially when applied in.a topical, liposomal formulation.

Anecdotes
A good humectant (such as hyaluronic acid and/or niacinamide) - A good occlusive moisturizer (look for a product with ceramides and fatty alcohols) - A tretinoin prescription (seriously, this is the gold standard of skincare. If you can’t get the Rx, use an OTC retinol - Most importantly, use at least SPF 30 every single day, rain or shine, and reapply every 2 hours (look for a physical blocker with zinc oxide as the active and iron oxide in the ingredients list) As a bonus you can look into antioxidants for further protection against free radicals. Vitamin C, vitamin E, green tea polyphenols, ginseng, etc.
Vitamin C and Retinol have the most immediate noticeable benefit for me.
