Skin-Restoring Ingredients
When it comes to getting and keeping healthier, younger-looking skin, everyone needs to use skincare products that contain three types of ingredients: antioxidants, skin-restoring ingredients, and skin-replenishing ingredients. Along with daily sun protection, each is vital to giving skin what it needs to visibly improve in numerous ways—but what do we mean by “skin restoring”? We’re about to tell you!
What are Skin-Restoring Ingredients?
Skin-restoring ingredients are active components that help your skin appear noticeably younger-looking. Daily use of these skincare ingredients may lead to a renewed feeling of firmness, brightness, smoother texture, and a more even-looking skin tone.
Skin-restoring ingredients can also help improve dullness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including deep ones. They’re an incredibly exciting category of anti-aging ingredients for the way they complement and reinforce the benefits of a complete skincare routine.
Our Favourite Skin-Restoring Ingredients
Unlike with antioxidants, there isn’t an endless list of skin-restoring ingredients to consider—which many will find a relief! The most researched skin-restoring ingredients include retinol, niacinamide, linoleic acid, ceramides, adenosine, and various peptides.
You’ll find these ingredients in Paula’s Choice Singapore skincare products, including:
- Toners: RESIST Weightless Advanced Repairing Toner
- Moisturizer: RESIST Skin Restoring Moisturizer SPF 50
- Boosters: 10% Niacinamide Booster
These ingredients also work incredibly well to restore skin on the body. For instance, to tackle uneven skin tone on your chest, legs and arms, all while also strengthening your skin’s barrier, the 5% Niacinamide Body Serum is an excellent option.
How Skin-Restoring Ingredients Work
Think of skin-restoring ingredients as the “connecting wires” of your skin’s communication system. With factors like age and sun damage, your skin’s natural ability to restore itself weakens. Skin-restoring ingredients help to re-establish this connection so skin can “hear” the complete message on how to look better, younger, and healthier.
By applying skincare products that contain such ingredients, you help your skin regain a more vibrant, youthful appearance as its surface is better able to act in a way that keeps you looking great.
Consistent, daily application of these ingredients, found in products like your face moisturizer, face serum, eye cream, and sunscreen, helps strengthen skin against external aggressors. This fortification may reduce various signs of aging, from pronounced wrinkles to increasing loss of firmness.
At Paula’s Choice, we’re devoted to using skin-restoring ingredients in as many leave-on skincare products as possible because research is clear about how vital they are for all skin types across all ages!
