At some point in almost everyone's life, they desire younger-looking skin and aim to bid farewell to fine lines, wrinkles, and imperfections. As a result, they seek out solutions to help them preserve their youthful radiance.
Anti-aging skin care is highly desired in the beauty industry, with products formulated to prevent skin damage, reverse signs of aging, and keep your skin looking and feeling healthier. Projections suggest that the anti-aging market will be worth 119.6B by 2030, but do anti-aging creams work?
This guide will outline everything you need to know about anti-aging skin care:
Do anti-aging creams work?
To put it simply, yes. Anti-aging creams do work, and there are a few reasons why.
1. Ingredients
The best anti-aging creams, lotions, and moisturizers work when their expert formulations contain good-for-your-skin ingredients. With the right nutrient-rich ingredients, people can reduce the appearance of imperfections and achieve a younger-looking appearance.
2. Hydration
Keeping your skin hydrated will ensure it stays plump, soft, and supple. Hydrating components improve your skin's elasticity, which helps to eliminate fine lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet.
3. Consistency
For anti-aging skincare to work, you must have a consistent skincare regimen. Consistently using the products increases the likelihood of seeing results. Sporadic use of anti-aging skincare products may be the primary reason you struggle to see a significant difference in your skin.
Which Ingredients to Look For
There are four ingredients to look for in anti-aging skin care essentials. Studies suggest these ingredients can eliminate skin imperfections and visually improve your appearance.
SPF
Summer or winter, SPF is a must-have and will protect your skin from harmful UVB rays. UVB rays can cause skin discoloration, wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of premature aging without protection.
Retinol
Retinol is the holy grail of anti-aging skincare. Derived from vitamin A, over-the-counter retinol is excellent for use during your nighttime skincare routine as it stimulates collagen production, leading to plump and supple skin.
Hyaluronic Acid
If you suffer from dry, sensitive skin, hyaluronic acid may be the answer to your problems. This ingredient works as a humectant, attracting and retaining moisture in the outermost layer of your skin, improving elasticity, keeping your skin plump and hydrated, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants protect your skin from free radicals, which can cause oxidation, leading to saggy skin, fine lines, crow's feet, and wrinkles.
Did you know your hands are often the first part of your body to show signs of aging? The Hand Treatment is one of the best anti-aging hand creams on the market. Our innovative Cream is jam-packed with antioxidants and deeply nourishes and hydrates, preventing signs of aging, scarring, and hyperpigmentation.
Which Ingredients to Watch Out For
Maintaining your skin's youthful appearance requires being mindful of the skincare ingredients you use. Some can disrupt your skin barrier and cause chronic irritation with regular use, so avoiding these ingredients is vital to keeping your skin healthy and glowing.
SLS and SLES
These are foaming agents commonly incorporated in cleansers and other beauty care products to create the foaming effect. Both are well-known carcinogens and toxins that can irritate the skin and damage your skin barrier, leading to common skin conditions.
Synthetic Fragrances
Synthetic fragrances may smell nice, but they can irritate sensitive skin types. You never really know what ingredients go into synthetic fragrances; hundreds of chemicals can create a single fragrance, but the only thing you'll see on the ingredient list is "synthetic fragrance." Regular use of products with synthetic fragrances can lead to ongoing irritation and signs of aging.
Parabens
Parabens are preservatives that beauty companies use to prevent mold and bacteria. These preservatives can disrupt your body's hormone function and lead to premature aging.
Augustinus Bader Eye Cream
One of the first places individuals notice fine lines and wrinkles is directly under the eyes. The skin under your eyes is fragile and delicate, which means it's more susceptible to signs of aging. With The Eye Cream, you can take a more targeted approach to skincare. Our formulation helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while increasing elasticity and firmness to achieve a plump, youthful look.
This formula contains four potent antioxidants and nutrients your skin needs to thrive: Jojoba oil, vitamin C, vitamin B15, and vitamin B3. During our clinical trials, participants noticed that The Eye Cream visibly reduced fine lines by 57% and wrinkles by 52%.
We recommend pairing our Eye Cream with a daily moisturizer for the best results. The Cream, our daily moisturizer, is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, helping you maintain your youthful glow.
