What You Need to Know About Anti-Aging Serums

Have you started using a serum in your skincare routine yet? If not, you should get on it! It’s not another word for “cream” or “lotion.” Serum is a mega-potent treatment for your skin, one that is so highly concentrated that it delivers key ingredients deep into the skin to really treat your skin concerns.

Adding in an anti-aging serum to your skincare routine can make a huge difference in your skin’s appearance. That’s because it has no emollients like creams and lotions. It’s specifically designed to power up your skin. Think of it like adding vitamins to a healthy diet. Serum just makes skin even better, and if you’re concerned about aging skin, you really need to grab an anti-aging serum.

When you do, take a look for these key ingredients that can change your skin for the better!

Retinol

Retinol is one of the best ingredients for anti-aging skincare. Dermatologists have recommended it for years because it works. It creates healthier skin cells and boosts collagen production to give you firmer skin, improved texture, and a stronger skin barrier.

Vitamin C

Topical applications of vitamin C increase collagen production – even in the dermal layer – which reduces wrinkles. It also helps correct discolorations, enhance the repair process, and keep the skin barrier strong. Plus, it can help your skin endure sunlight even if you’re not wearing sunscreen - though we always advise you never leave home without your sunscreen!.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is another great ingredient that keeps collagen from breaking down due to oxidative damage. When used with vitamin C, it’s like an unstoppable, dynamic duo that teams up to give you amazing skin.

Niacinamide

Another way to ageless skin is to use serums with niacinamide. This ingredient increases ceramide plus fatty acid levels in your skin to keep it from losing its water content. It boosts microcirculation and has the added bonus of lightening discolorations while reducing acne.

Green Tea

Rich with antioxidants, green tea does it all by building collagen and stopping cell damage. Drinking the stuff is great for your whole body, but in your serum? It will help you achieve flawlessness.

Resveratrol

Another protector rich with antioxidants is resveratrol. It can guard from sun and cell damage while boosting collagen production.

Grape Seed

Want to say goodbye to wrinkles? Grape seed is one of the best antioxidants there is, according to the experts.

And there are many more star ingredients to seek out in your anti-aging serums. Curcuminoids, which are found in turmeric, and ceramides which bind the intercellular matrix of the skin together, are just a couple more that will help your skin look youthful.

Choose an anti-aging serum that suits your skin type and include one or more of these key ingredients to enjoy your best results!
