Everyone is obsessed with looking young and throughout the past few years, there has been a tremendous amount of money spent on scientific research into finding the best anti-aging ingredients to put into the skincare products that are on the market today.
Below is a list of the most common ingredients and where you might find them.
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
Commonly known AHAs include lactic acid, malic acid, glycolic acid, and citric acid. They have been commonly used in skincare products for helping to soften fine lines/wrinkles, and to improve the texture and tone of the skin by acting as a deep exfoliator. AHAs are also used in higher doses at dermatologist’s office for procedures such as chemical peels.

Coenzyme Q10. This is a powerful anti-oxidant that is also present in our skin to help repair damaged skin from free-radicals in the environment. With age, the amount of this Coenzyme Q10 is less, making our skin more susceptible to damage and loss of elasticity.
