There are thousands of skin care products in the market today, but do they work? The key is to look for ingredients that have been scientifically proven effective in addressing the common signs of aging.

Here are the key ingredients to look for in anti-aging products:

1. Vitamins and Antioxidants – these ingredients nourish, rejuvenate, and protect skin the same way they do any other part of your body. Vitamins A to E can help rejuvenate, while antioxidants can block damaging free radicals.

2. Botanicals – plant-derived ingredients such as muscadine grape polyphenols and Lotus japonicus can help prevent collagen and elastin breakdown while providing nutrients to the skin.

3. Retinoids – a class of chemical compounds related to vitamin A; they can regulate epithelial cell growth, even out skin, and unclog pores. Retinyl palmitate and retinol are some of the ones commonly used in skincare products.

4. Hydroxy Acids – these chemical compounds weaken the “cellular glue” that makes dead skin stick together, which helps in exfoliation. Citric acid, glycolic acid, and lactic acid are some examples.

In conclusion, It is imperative to look at all the ingredients before choosing any products you are interested in, do your due diligence, do not believe what your friends say, check out for yourself.

In addition, check for a company that has been on the market for many years and do extensive research on their raw materials because sometimes we don’t always know what is in the products; although we look at the labels, it might be different.
