When is the right time to start skincare?

We say – “Now is the right time.” With people slowly embracing the clean beauty revolution, there has never been a better time to renew, replenish, and make your skin happy. The new-age skincare products grab significant attention with their powerful formulation of skin-friendly ingredients.

Just like fashion trends, skincare ingredients go in and out while some trends stick for long. We delved a little deeper, studied some of the prominent brands, and found out few skincare ingredients expected to trend in 2023.

Niacinamide

The powerful ingredient is now a part of science-backed beauty formulation. The antioxidant-rich active is known for multiple proven benefits. It’s largely used in serums, creams, face oils etc. and prevents signs of ageing, brightens skin, reduces inflammation, decreases the appearance of pores, and hyperpigmentation. Regarded as the holy grail for acne breakout prevention, niacinamide balances sebum production and helps in refining pores. According to research, it is also known to promote ceramide production which is the natural lipid barrier of the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid

Suffering from the bane of dull and dry skin? Hyaluronic acid is the magic potion that locks moisture and keeps skin hydrated. The active ingredient draws moisture from the surrounding atmosphere and gives a supple, plumping effect. Although hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin, its level depletes with age leading to dryness and early signs of ageing. Hyaluronic acid enriched serums, creams, face wash etc. are just the products you want to stock for topical hydration.

Alpha Arbutin 

If your skin is prone to pigmentation, blemishes, acne scars, and sun spots, consider alpha arbutin your best friend. The skin-friendly active is a natural skin lightener and is known to improve skin tone and texture. A dermatologist recommended trending skin ingredient is now a part of various serums, toners, moisturisers, masks etc. Alpha Arbutin primarily protects the skin against cellular damage and reduces melanin concentration on the skin. It’s one of the most sought-after ingredients for reducing hyperpigmentation.

Ectoin Natural

A proven and potent skincare ingredient known to prevent premature signs of ageing. The 100% natural molecule repairs skin, improves damaged or stressed skin, promotes skin barrier repair, and provides prolonged hydration. According to some studies, Ectoin is known to prevent UVA-induced premature photoaging damage.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C in the right amount is what you need for bright, flawless skin. The use of serums, moisturisers, creams and facewash enriched with Vitamin C defends skin from sun damage and acts miraculously to give a radiant glow. A water-soluble vitamin and powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C neutralises free radicals and prevents inflammation. It keeps skin hydrated, boosts collagen production and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Try incorporating a Vitamin-C-enriched serum or cream in your everyday routine to give your face a daily dose of goodness.

VC20 Intense Boost Face Serum

Ferulic Acid 

It is a highly efficient antioxidant found in the cell wall of plants like oats and rice. Ferulic acid is quite the underdog but an ingredient likely to trend in 2023 for its ability to regenerate skin. The topical application of beauty products like serums, creams, face masks etc. formulated with ferulic acid slows down the ageing process. Ferulic acid is known to stabilise and improve the efficacy of vitamins C and E.
