Retinoids
Aside from sunscreen, retinoids are the rulers of anti-aging skin care, especially where scientific data is concerned. "I love this ingredient for its ability to increase cell turnover, help the skin look younger and protect skin cells from free radicals," says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Marina Peredo. "Applying retinol can slow down the aging process and firm up the thin skin and fix any crepey texture. It can also reduce hyperpigmentation, age spots and acne scars."

This delicate eye cream was just launched as part of the brand's new collection, which also includes a body butter and a pink algae serum.
Vitamin C
There are many skin care benefits of topical vitamin C. "Vitamin C is known for its ability to neutralize the effects of aging and fine lines and give skin a beautiful glow," says Peredo. "It is one of the most important ingredients for reducing damage from free radicals and can also help boost collagen production." She adds that it works by binding to receptors in skin cells, which in turn helps strengthen the skin barrier, protects our collagen supply and stimulates skin cell turnover.
