Anti-Aging Serum |
Today we will help you understand what are the components of anti-aging products and why they are used.
• AHA and BHA Ingredients: These are the acids that help
mitigate sun damage and are considered to be some of the best ingredients for
skin care against aging. Use the AHA if you have normal to dry skin and BHA if
your skin is normal to oily.
*Note: Currently, the BHA most commonly used in cosmetics is
salicylic acid. On rare occasions, citric acid is also cited as a BHA in
cosmetic formulations. More commonly, citric acid is referred to as an AHA. The
safety of salicylic acid used as a cosmetic ingredient has been evaluated by
both the cosmetic industry and FDA.
Vitamin C helps to stimulate the production of collagen, it
is also an antioxidant and helps eliminate free radicals. It is suitable for
all skin types, especially people who smoke and have acne.
It is used in the form of a serum that is applied overnight
after cleansing the skin and before the usual cream.
• Retinol
Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A, it is also one of the
best ingredients for skin care and helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines of
expression and improves skin tone. Comes as a component of many night treatment
creams.
It is a great anti-aging component for skin care against the
passage of time. Coenzyme Q-10 fights free radicals and reduces fine lines,
especially those that appear around the eyes, which is why it is often found in
almost all eye contour creams.
It is a vitamin as important as vitamin C for its beneficial
role in protecting cells against free radical damage.
Vitamin E is found in facial products with a large number of
different names, including tocopherol acetate, tocopherol linoleate,
tocotrienols, alpha-tocopherol and tocopherol succinate.
This acid is used to reduce the signs of aging by its great
ability to retain water. It is commonly found in many anti-aging products, but
it is always better to know if it is one of the active ingredients, i.e. if it
is found in large quantity.
Either way, it is always best to apply it in the form of
hyaluronic acid serum, such as vitamin C after washing your face and before any
cream.
• Green Tea Extract
The green tea extract is full of
antioxidants, usually appears on the labels like EGCG. Used for all skin types,
especially those of smokers, who expose too much sun or have acne.
