The Seven Ideal Ingredients For Skin Rejuvenation

Personalized Skin Care Analysis from Beauty.com

Making good decisions in rejuvenation is not about having to use every product available or finding one that is "better" than all the rest. Rather, it's about trying to incorporate into your regimen at least two excellent ingredients - ingredient that work in a complementary fashion on the epidermis (the outer most layer of your skin), and the dermis (the layer underneath the epidermis), and are appropriate for your skin type.

Currently, there are seven primary active ingredients that have been proven to be helpful in skin rejuvenation. There are also a variety of antioxidants, an array of ingredients that play a supporting role, and some new (and as yet unproven) entries into the rejuvenation scene. This list is in constant flux because of technological advances - and the claims of snake-oil salesmen. (When it comes to skin rejuvenation, distinguishing fact from fiction is practically a full-time job!) Let's take a look at the various ingredients you should know about.

The Ideal Seven To Look For:

  • Retinoids
  • Glycolic Acid
  • Idebenone
  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic-acid)
  • N-6 furfuryladenine
  • GHK copper peptides
  • Amino acid peptides
