Skincare experts highlight effective ingredients and mindful habits

Skincare experts and consumer organizations are emphasizing the importance of ingredient synergy and mindful habits for maintaining skin health. To achieve visible results with anti-aging products, specialists recommend combining specific active ingredients rather than relying on a single product.

Pharmacist Helena Rodero suggests using peptides in a morning serum before sun protection to enhance the effects of retinol. Additionally, using exfoliating acids like glycolic acid can help remove outer skin layers, allowing retinol to penetrate more effectively. While ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C, and peptides are effective for firmness and wrinkle reduction, the OCU warns that many creams may promise more than they deliver, making careful ingredient selection vital.

Beyond topical treatments, wellness experts suggest adopting healthier lifestyle habits to support skin health. These include prioritizing rest to aid physical recovery, disconnecting from digital screens to reduce stress, and viewing skincare as a moment of personal well-being rather than a mandatory or complex obligation.
