AHAs and BHAs
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) work by exfoliating away dead skin cells to reveal a complexion that's brighter, smoother and more youthful. "This process also helps active ingredients to better penetrate the skin so you can benefit more from your products," explains board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman.
There are many types of AHAs, including glycolic acid, lactic acid and mandelic acid, and they help with issues like pigmentation and texture. There's one primary BHA in skin care, salicylic acid, and its primary function is to target blemishes and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Ceramides
This science-backed anti-aging ingredient is excellent at hydrating and smoothing skin while bolstering the skin barrier. "Ceramides are naturally found within the skin, but as we age our ceramide levels decrease. This causes the skin to become more thin and fine lines become more noticeable," explains Peredo. "They help to repair and protect the skin barrier by keeping moisture in the skin which slows down the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Incorporating ceramides in your routine will keep the skin looking youthful, hydrated and plump."
