Top 6 Skincare Ingredients you should be using: 1. Retinoids 2. Vitamin C 3. Azelaic Acid 4. Peptides 5. Ceramides 6. Tranexamic acid 1. Retinoids Retinoids speed up cell turnover and stimulate collagen production. They are great for anti- aging, acne and dark spots. Even if you're not ready for prescription strength Tretinoin you should consider adding in a gentler version like retinol, retinal or HPR 2. Vitamin C Besides just brightening skin and helping to fade dark spots, Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your skin from UV damage and pollution. It also helps boost collagen production. It comes in a few forms so if you don't like one type then try another 3. Azelaic acid Azelaic acid is great for many skin types due to its multiple functions. It helps kill acne bacteria, reduces inflammation, clears pores, fades both dark spots and post inflammatory erythema (red marks after acne). It's great for acne prone skin, sensitive skin and rosacea. There's lots of OTC options but for higher strengths you'll need a prescription in some countries (like US) 4. Peptides Peptides act as messengers for your cells. There are lots of different peptides that send different signals but most skincare include ones that do they following: signal cell repair, signal collagen and elastin production, block production of certain enzymes that breakdown collagen, and ones that signal facial muscle to relax to smooth fine lines 5. Ceramides Ceramides are a natural lipid that make up about half of your skin barrier. They essentially help keep your skin cells together to keep moisture in and all the bad things out. Using products with ceramides helps to replenish them and allow fors your skin to repair itself and locks in moisture 6. Tranexamic acid Tranexamic acid (TXA) blocks the message to cells to produce excess melanin which causes dark spots/hyperpigmentation. It's usually paired alongside other ingredients to help fade dark spots like niacinamide and should be combined with consistent sunscreen use Available at: YesStyle OLIVIAS25 Style Korean OLIVIA2025 Kiyoko OLIVIASNKCARE
