The 7 Anti-Ageing Ingredients Proven To Work

With a slew of anti-ageing ingredients on the market, choosing your skincare products can be overwhelming. Before investing, it pays to swot up: which are worth the hype, the price, and which will work for your skin type and lifestyle? We’ve asked leading dermatologists to demystify the seven ingredients you should look out for that are guaranteed to yield results.

Hyaluronic Acid

What It Is: Produced by our bodies naturally, it hydrates and plumps for fresher, healthier-looking skin.
 
How It Works: “Hyaluronic acid can also be found on an ingredients list as ‘hyaluronan,’” says Nina Prisk, an aesthetic and cosmetic Nurse. “It’s a clear substance that’s produced naturally by your body – largely in your skin, connective tissue and eyes. Unfortunately, as we get older, levels tend to deplete which can lead to dullness and loss of elasticity, along with fine lines and wrinkles appearing – notably on your face, neck and hands. It’s essential to use it in your regime as it retains water in the skin, keeping your skin tissue lubricated which, in turn, reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. It has a plumping effect that fills and smooths. Remember your skin is an organ, it needs to be protected and hydrated regularly, which is why this ingredient is so key. Use hyaluronic acid post-cleanse and after you’ve applied any antioxidant serums in the morning, then follow-up with an SPF. Don’t forget to apply a little to your lips, too.”
