The tone and texture of your skin can be impacted by a variety of environmental, genetic, and hormonal factors. Wrinkles, fine lines, acne breakouts, and enlarged pores can all affect how smooth and even your skin looks and feels.
If you’d like to meet these skin concerns head-on, keep reading to learn about five powerful ingredients, from retinoids to spicules, for skincare routines targeting tone and texture.
Retinoids
Retinoids are a Vitamin A derivative used to target a variety of skin concerns, including visible signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines. This ingredient can achieve these results in the skin due to its ability to promote cell turnover, stimulate collagen production, and accelerate the shedding of dead skin cells. These effects enable retinoids to improve the skin’s overall texture, helping the complexion gain a more youthful appearance.
Glycolic Acid (AHA)
AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids) are a group of acids known for their exfoliating properties. Glycolic acid, for example, can be used to gently exfoliate dead surface-level skin cells and promote cell turnover. This results in a smoother skin texture and enhanced tone. At the same time, glycolic acid is effective in reducing dullness and fine lines, making it an excellent anti-aging agent.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C)
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a water-soluble form of Vitamin C that is known for its antioxidant properties. One of the key benefits of using Vitamin C in your skincare routine is how well it targets dark spots and uneven skin tone.
This important vitamin helps brighten the skin, boosts collagen and elastin production, and enhances skin firmness. Vitamin C also protects skin from damaging free radicals. Continuous application of sodium ascorbyl phosphate results in smoother, firmer, and more even skin tone and texture.
Salicylic Acid (BHA)
In addition to wrinkles and fine lines, acne and visible pores can contribute significantly to uneven skin tone and texture. Often used in tandem with AHAs, beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) like salicylic acid are oil-soluble exfoliants that penetrate deep into the pores, clearing out dead skin cells and excess oil to prevent breakouts.
This ingredient is an ideal choice for individuals who struggle with regular acne breakouts and prominent pores. Regular application of salicylic acid will help clear up your complexion, resulting in clearer, smoother, and more even skin.
Spicules
Spicules are one of the hottest skincare trends today proven to provide real results. Sourced directly from the ocean, spicules are micro-sized structural skeletons that come from marine sponges.
They are composed of calcium and silica, shaped like needles, and feature exfoliating properties that provide similar results to microneedling treatments (which is how they got nicknamed “liquid microneedling”).
Spicules benefit the skin by stimulating collagen production, enhancing firmness, and boosting cell turnover. If you have always wanted to try regular microneedling treatments, spicules are an affordable alternative that provides similar, lasting results to traditional microneedling.
