Best skin care ingredients of the future

There are so many creams in the market at present for pretty skin that it can get confusing. Newer and newer products are being released every minute but how can you be sure of which product works and how well it will work? Here are a few of the more popular new ingredients that are promising to give you baby smooth skin in a few days time-

Acai oil
We’ve heard of the acai berry that has supernatural weight loss properties but the oil seems to be great for skin. The berries are filled with antioxidants that are great for repairing skin damage and even healing and smoothing wrinkles. We don’t know how far it works but its popping up in products all across the counters from masks to scrubs and even body butters

ALA or alpha lipoic acid
This is a product that was well known for its properties to protect against antioxidant damage and the action of free radicals. Most naturopathic practitioners recommend this supplement for oral use as a stress buster and adaptogenic. But it is also able to penetrate skin membranes and reduce the damage due to aging and sun damage. It is not found in skin care creams like sun blocks and lotions for night use.

Caffeine
Who knew that caffeine was good for the skin? Apparently it is as it can ward of skin cancer! This action has not been substantiated yet but the ingredient is popping up in skin creams all across the world.

Retinol
Topical applications of retinol have long been used to reduce acne scars but in the recent years, it has also been popping up as an alternative to reduce skin wrinkles. The vitamin A derivative can increase the turnover of skin and increase collage formation causing skin to appear healthier and plumper. Dark patches, wrinkles and even irregular skin tones can be reduced completely.

More and more products are added to market shelves daily with revolutionary new ingredients. Just make sure that you read up on them before use and do not use any cream more than the recommended time.
