Once you realise that great skincare is so much more than just cleansing and moisturising, a whole world of new and exciting products opens up. However, it can be difficult to navigate the skincare jungle with all the hard-to-pronounce ingredients. Get in the know with this list of our favourite ingredients that every skincare junkie keeps in their bathroom cabinet!
Peptides
Peptides can help to increase collagen production in the skin. They are made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins – basically what your skin is mainly made of! Peptides are often found in anti-ageing products and are your go-to if you want to smooth out wrinkles and keep your skin looking young. You will find this ingredient in NovAge ProCeuticals Instant Peptide Ampoules.
AHA - Alpha Hydroxy Acid
Alpha Hydroxy Acids are chemical exfoliants that can be found naturally in things like fruit and milk, that help to loosen dead skin cells to reveal the fresh new skin underneath. Use AHA’s a few days before a big event to make your skin look fresh and glowing. You can enjoy the benefits of this ingredient by using NovAge ProCeuticals 6% AHA Peel Solution.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is the active form of vitamin B3. Often found in serums and masks, it can help reduce redness, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce melanin production, which means it can also help reduce pigmentation. This ingredient can be found in NovAge ProCeuticals Niacinamide & Cica Bio-Cellulose Sheet Mask.
BHA - Beta Hydroxy Acid
Beta Hydroxy Acids are chemical exfoliants. The most well-known BHA is salicylic acid. It helps to remove dead skin cells, prevent blackhead formation, clean out pores and improve texture and smoothness. It works to clean inside the pore (in contrast to AHA that primarily work on the skin’s surface) and has skin calming properties. You will find this ingredient in NovAge Skin Renewing Peel.
Vitamin C
You may know it as the cure-all for all minor winter ailments, but it also works wonders on the skin. It’s a powerful antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables and is used in skincare to help brighten the skin and reduce dark spots and signs of ageing. NovAge ProCeuticals 10% Vitamin C Solution is infused with this vitamin.
Glycolic Acid
Glycolic Acid is an AHA, and what’s so great about it is that not only it exfoliates to help smooth out fine lines and uneven texture, but also helps hydrate the skin. Glycolic Acid is one of the ingredients in NovAge Skin Renewing Peel.
Hyaluronic Acid
If you haven’t heard of Hyaluronic Acid by now, you’re missing out on some serious hydration. Hyaluronic Acid is a natural substance already present in the human body that can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water. When gently massaged into the skin, it imparts a deeply moisturised and dewy feel. Experience these benefits with NovAge Skin Priming Essence.
