Anti-ageing care: high-tech ingredients that do you good
Hyaluronic acid, retinol, vitamin C... You often hear about them, come across their names in beauty articles, they're even recommended by your dermatologist, but what do they really do for your skin? Focus on 6 high-tech ingredients that promise to revolutionize your beauty routine!
Glycolic Acid: the star of complexion radiance and beauty
Glycolic Acid is in fact a Fruit Acid recommended for skin thatlooks greyfor an instant radiance boost, but also for those who complain of irregularities (whether in skin texture or in the visual appearance of the skin, caused by blemishes). Small imperfections or the fear of scarring? You can trust this active ingredient to exfoliate dead cells from the epidermal surface, while stimulating the synthesis of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. As you may have guessed, this molecule is also great for treating the signs of aging!
The star glycolic acid product to adopt: the Good Genes Sunday Riley! This powerfully formulated multi-action serum acts as a skin perfector to reduce residual marks (blemishes and spots), plump, smooth fine lines and boost complexion radiance. It's the "beautiful skin" treatment par excellence, to be tried at least once in your life!
Peptides: mini-proteins to the rescue of mature skin
Peptides are small molecules capable of boosting the mechanisms of even the most tired skin by transmitting "messages" to skin cells. These brave little soldiers, for example, are capable of calling on the skin to produce more collagen for an overall anti-aging action (firming and fighting wrinkles), or to reduce melanin production to limit spots, or to fight sagging to redefine the oval of the face. Concentrated in peptides derived from weights, the Smoothing Peptide Booster Pai Skincare Smoothing Peptide Booster firms, reduces the appearance of fine lines and stimulates collagen production, while improving hydration for smooth, healthy skin. It's the perfect Better-Aging booster to pair with your moisturizer.
MSM: the rising high-tech asset
Known by the barbaric name of MethylSulfonylMethane, this molecule is being used more and more to the delight of sensitive skin, reducing inflammation at source and strengthening the skin's defenses. It is also appreciated by skins wishing to combat ageing, thanks to its stimulating properties... We also love it for its detoxifying power, which Hervé Herau uses in his Gel Lotion Care (a treatment lotion to be used after his cult cleanser) to eliminate toxins. Drawing on its anti-aging properties, the Oskia brand also makes extensive use of this molecule, notably in its Nutri-Active Day Creama day cream with a complete moisturizing, revitalizing and repairing action. So there are no contraindications for this new active ingredient, which is fast becoming a must-have and should be used day and night...
