Anti Aging Skin Care Ingredients: Three Ingredients You Should Know

Before buying anti aging and anti wrinkle skin treatment products it’s important to research the ingredients in the anti aging products you’re considering. But what ingredients should you ultimately look for? Here are three important anti aging ingredients featured in Murad anti aging and anti wrinkle skin care products, along with information on why these ingredients matter!

AHAs and BHAs: Exfoliating Elements in Anti Aging Skin Care
You’ve probably seen the terms AHA and BHA used in reference to anti aging skin cleansers and treatments, but what do they mean? AHA stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acid, and BHA stands for Beta Hydroxy Acid. The most common AHA used in skin care products is Glycolic Acid, and the most common BHA is Salicylic Acid. AHAs and BHAs are often used in chemical peels, but in skin care products they’re in much lower concentrations. AHAs and BHAs help to remove the dead layers on top of the skin, revealing the younger, newer and healthier skin underneath. That’s why using skin care products with AHAs and BHAs gives the skin a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7: Anti Wrinkle Ingredient
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 is one of the key ingredients in Murad Age-Diffusing Serum, the popular anti wrinkle treatment step in the Resurgence® regimen. It reduces the appearance of medium to deep wrinkles without irritating the skin the way that harsher wrinkle-reducing ingredients can. This popular anti aging skin treatment not only minimizes the appearance of wrinkles, it also firms the skin and reduces sagging.

Antioxidants: An Anti Aging Skin Care Must
The best anti aging skin care products combine the best of science with the best of nature, and that typically means a healthy dose of antioxidants from sources such as Pomegranate Extract, Vitamin C and other natural sources of these powerful age fighters. Antioxidants are nature’s response to free radicals, which build up in the body over time and cause many of the signs of aging on the skin. Antioxidants counteract the damaging effects of free radicals, which is why they’re so common in anti aging skin care products.

Of course, these are just some of the ingredients found in your favorite anti aging skin care products. Before you buy a new skin care product, read the label and learn about the ingredients so you can make smarter skin care choices.
