Everyone is talking about active ingredients such as retinol, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and retinol . But what is their purpose actually? Don´t worry we got you covered, below we explain what each ingredient actually does so you can create your perfect skincare routine tailored to your individual needs. 🕵️♀️✨

Niacinamide:
Bye bye pores! This ingredient helps to visibly refine enlarged pores and even out uneven skin tone. It strengthens the skin barrier, reduces sebum production, reduces redness and pigmentation spots and thus improves the skin's appearance. Niacinamide is good for every skin type and therefore deserves a safe place in every routine!

Hyaluronic acid:
Hyaluronic acid is found in the connective tissue of the skin and is responsible for retaining moisture. Creams and serums with hyaluronic acid provide the skin with extra moisture, improve elasticity, can reduce the depth of wrinkles and therefore prevent premature skin ageing.

Ceramides:
This active ingredient strengthens the skin's barrier function, protecting it from moisture loss and at the same time from pollutants and external irritants. They also stimulate the formation of collagen, improve the skin's appearance through moisturization and make the skin appear fresher and plumper. This is really a must in everyones skincare routine!

Salicylic acid (BHA):
Salicylic acid helps the skin to naturally exfoliate the top layer of the skin (a peeling, so to speak), stimulates cell renewal and regeneration and counteracts impurities to restore the skin's natural glow. And don´t we all love a healthy glow?!

Glycolic acid (AHA):
These fruit acids are water-soluble, which means that they can penetrate even deeper into the skin than salicylic acid. They remove dead skin cells and have a skin-rejuvenating effect. These acids are particularly suitable for normal to dry and sun-damaged skin, as they can moisturize the skin. Perfect to use right now, when your skin has been exposed a lot to the sun.

Vitamin C:
We all heard about this powerful antioxidant which protects against harmful environmental influences, has a cell-renewing effect and makes the skin appear more even by counteracting pigmentation spots and minor blemishes.

When applied to the skin, it smoothes fine wrinkles, has an antioxidant effect, refines the skin texture, promotes cell renewal and stimulates collagen production. This ingredient is truely SKINTASTIC!
