Shopping for skincare products can be very confusing. With all the serums, scrubs, oils and acids out on the market it can be difficult to tell which is the right one for your skin. Below you will find some of the skincare ingredients to help you get an idea of what is best for your skin:
NIACINAMIDE – this serum boots collagen to improve skin texture which includes smoothness of fine lines and wrinkles. Also, it helps fades and brighten hyperpigmentation.
LACTIC ACID – this is an exfoliant which helps promote the shedding of skin cells. By getting rid of the buildup of dead cells, lactic acid, helps soften and smooth your skin.
SALICYLIC ACID – treats acne by reducing swelling and reddness and unplugging blocked skin pores to allow pimples to shrink.
GLYCOLIC ACID – the acid can remove the very top layer of skin cells without the need for scrubbing, which causes irritation. Glycolic Acid is useful in treatments for acne, hyperpigmentation and signs of again.
AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) – this is for a variety of purposes: smoothing fine lines, surface wrinkles, improving skin texture, skintone, unblocking and cleansing pores and improving skin condition in general.
CAFFEINE – it hydrates and awakens your skim from the outside in and the inside out with caffeine. The poweful antioxidants in caffeine protects skin from damage.
AZELAIC ACID – this acid counter and neutralize free radicals that cause inflammation. It has significant skin-calming effects and helps to improve redness. Evens skin tone. It decreases pigmentation, inhibiting an enzyme called tyrosinase that leads to hyperpigmentation, or dark patches of skin.
These ingredients appear in many skincare products. Yet, we use these products without really knowing what the products do to our skin. I hope this chat gives you some clarity as to what you are putting on your face.
