Hyaluronic acid, collagen, antioxidants... Anti-aging skin care products are full of active ingredients with proven effectiveness and somewhat mysterious names! We will help you see a clearer picture of active ingredients and anti-aging formulations, to choose the most suitable for your skin.
Hyaluronic acid and collagen, natural active ingredients
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the dermis. It acts as a super sponge to keep the skin hydrated and toned.
Collagen is also present in the dermis, and its fibres also help to support the skin. But from the age of thirty onwards, the natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen decreases. The skin becomes drier, less firm and the first wrinkles appear. At this point, it’s time to opt for treatments containing active ingredients and anti-aging formulations that will boost the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, but also fight against the effects of oxidative stress caused by external factors.
Understanding anti-aging active ingredients and formulations
Antioxidants help fight against oxidative stress caused by pollution, sun or tobacco, which accelerate skin aging. To limit the effects, vitamins C and E are recommended from the age of thirty: they neutralise free radicals and effectively preserve the skin. Hyaluronic acid is the ideal active ingredient to correct the loss of firmness and deeper wrinkles that appear from the age of forty onwards. It helps to firm and plump the skin, while filling in the wrinkles that have already set in. And to help your "mature" skin regain density, vitality and comfort, use Bakuchiol: this plant-based active ingredient is as effective as retinol and is a powerful cellular restorer. It stimulates both collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis and restores your skin's radiance.
You can add nutritional supplements to your anti-aging care routine.
A course of vitamin C, the antioxidant par excellence, will help to increase collagen production. Evening primrose is involved in the regeneration of skin cells and is suitable for slack skin. However, the use of these food supplements is not something to be considered trivial. Don't hesitate to talk to your doctor about it and, above all, to focus on food as the main source of your inner beauty. Fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables are the main reservoirs of antioxidants.
BOOST ANTI-AGING ACTIVE INGREDIENTS AND FORMULATIONS
The daily application of a serum and a night care product will optimise the benefits of your anti-aging day care.
Serum
It has become an essential part of anti-aging skin care rituals. Ultra-concentrated, it acts in a targeted manner (to protect the skin, smooth wrinkles or redefine the jawline) and prepares the skin to receive its anti-aging treatments, whose effects are multiplied tenfold.
Night treatments
Did you know that the skin regenerates best at night? So why deprive yourself of night care, with active ingredients and anti-aging formulations that complement your day care? For example, retinol and its derivatives such as retinaldehyde (one of the most effective anti-aging ingredients) are found in night care products.
