So what is Active Ingredients?

     Active Ingredients are the ingredients contained within skincare products that actually work to address the skin concern the product is meant to target. They are the ingredients that supposedly been scientifically proven to actually have the desired effect, meaning the product will do what it says it will.

     Here's the List of 5 Skincare Active Ingredients. And I know it can be hard to know when to start because there are so many products on the market that contains these active ingredients, so I’m going to mention also below those skincare products to consider.

 

Did you know ceramides is one of the best anti-aging ingredients for skincare?

Ceramides are produced naturally by the skin, but they become depleted overtime as we age. And since ceramide production becomes depleted overtime, the skin barrier is weakened, so it’s important to use skincare products containing ceramides to restore your skin’s hydration and moisture, leaving your skin looking supple. The deficiency in ceramides causes dry skin, skin disorders, trans epidermal water loss from the skin, and the loss of elasticity.

Peptides are amino acids that make up certain proteins needed by the skin. More specifically, collagen is made of three polypeptide chain, so adding peptides can stimulate your skin to make collagen and more collagen can lead to firmer, younger-looking skin and that’s what we want.

Peptides work to rebuild and repair damaged cells and signal skin to produce collagen, slowing the aging process. It’s a go-to moisturizer for a large range of women and men, including those with sensitive, dry and acne-prone skin.

Among those active ingredients Hyaluronic Acid plays a crucial role in skin moisture. As people age, the moisture in their skin decreases, so some people choose to take supplemental Hyaluronic Acid.

Hyaluronic Acid helps reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles retaining moisture to the skin, creating plumping effect when the skin is protected and hydrated, increased skin cell production can take place, as the skin isn’t busy fighting for hydration. This leads to smoother, plumper skin cells. 

Hyaluronic Acid can increase skin moisture and improve the quality of life for those with dry skin.
