Hyaluronic acid, collagen, anti-oxidants... Anti-ageing 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-ageing formulations, in order to choose the most suitable for your skin.
Hyaluronic acid and collagen, naturally-derived 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 go for products containing active ingredients and anti-ageing formulations that will fight against the effects of oxidative stress caused by external factors.
Understanding anti-ageing active ingredients and formulations
Anti-oxidants help fight against oxidative stress caused by pollution, sun or tobacco, which accelerate skin ageing. To limit the effects, vitamins C and E are recommended from the age of thirty: they are antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radicals Hyaluronic acid is the ideal active ingredient to visibly firm skin and reduce the appearance of deeper wrinkles that appear from the age of forty onwards. It helps to firm and plump the look of skin, while filling in the wrinkles that have already set in. And to help your "mature" skin regain, vitality and comfort, use Bakuchiol: this plant-based active ingredient is as effective as retinol and is a powerful cellular restorer. restores your skin's radiance.
You can add nutritional supplements to your anti-ageing care routine.
A course of vitamin C, the anti-oxidant par excellence, is known to 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-AGEING ACTIVE INGREDIENTS AND FORMULATIONS

Night products
Did you know that the skin renew itself best at night? So why deprive yourself of night care, with active ingredients and anti-ageing formulations that complement your day care? For example, retinol and its derivatives such as retinaldehyde (one of the most effective anti-ageing ingredients) are found in night care products.
