The experts from SkinCeuticals are here to discuss the most in demand skin care ingredients on the market today.

Beyond the tens of thousands of skin care products currently available, even more skin care ingredients exist. Several trending ingredients tend to top every beauty buff’s most-wanted list. From protective to purifying, find out which essentials beauty gurus are stocking up on.

Vitamin C

Find it in: SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum

In terms of powerhouse skin care ingredients, few have the ability to shield the skin from environmental damage, brighten the complexion and improve the appearance of visible signs of aging with just a few drops. A potent antioxidant (which means it neutralizes free radicals before they cause cellular changes that lead to long-term skin damage), L-ascorbic acid is a form of vitamin C that is extensively proven to do all of the above. SkinCeuticals offers several vitamin C-based antioxidant serums tailored for different skin types and concerns, so everyone can get in on its protective and skin-improving benefits.

Antioxidants

Find it in: SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E Antioxidant Night Concentrate

Vitamin C isn’t the only antioxidant out there, and the more you supplement your regimen with the better. While vitamin C is ideal for morning use since it shields skin from environmental stressors encountered throughout the day, other antioxidants, such as resveratrol, can help prevent further free-radical damage by promoting the skin’s natural repair process overnight. When a serum with resveratrol—which has come to be known as the “longevity molecule”—is formulated with other antioxidants like baicalin and vitamin E, skin’s firmness and elasticity improves while boosting radiance as well.

Hyaluronic Acid

Find it in: SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier Serum. Skin Care. Face Treatment

A sugar naturally produced by the skin, hyaluronic acid is capable of holding 1,000 times its weight in water, which translates to healthy, hydrated skin. Yet, hyaluronic acid production slows with age, so it’s important to provide skin with this moisturizing ingredient. Ideal for all skin types, hyaluronic acid instantly plumps fine lines and wrinkles while smoothing and firming skin. Whether you have oily or aging skin, there are several effective hyaluronic acid serum options that balance hydration levels.

Aloe

Find it in: SkinCeuticals Simply Clean Gel

With cooling and refreshing properties, this naturally derived botanical skin care ingredient soothes all skin types. It is especially effective when combined with other calming ingredients. Aloe contains vitamins, antioxidants and hydrating agents that quell redness and various other concerns.

Clay

Find it in: SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Mask

Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin, clay clarifies and absorbs excess oils and impurities. Kaolin and bentonite clays are especially beneficial, as these natural earth-based ingredients possess calming and exfoliating benefits as well.

Sunscreen Filters

Find it in: SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50

There’s no disputing daily sun protection is an integral part of every skin care routine. Shielding the complexion from damaging UV rays is the number one way to keep skin looking youthful and healthy. Fortunately, there’s a SkinCeuticals sunscreen for every skin type and lifestyle. From hydrating and mattifying options for daily wear to extreme conditions, SkinCeuticals has you covered.
