The most common skincare ingredient of all. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product. It’s mainly a solvent for ingredients that do not like to dissolve in oils but rather in water. Expand to read more Once inside the skin, it hydrates, but not from the outside - putting pure water on the skin (hello long baths!) is drying. One more thing: the water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized (it means that almost all of the mineral ions inside it is removed). Like this, the products can stay more stable over time. Propanediol is a natural alternative for the often used and often bad-mouthed propylene glycol. It's produced sustainably from corn sugar and it's Ecocert approved. It's quite a multi-tasker: can be used to improve skin moisturization, as a solvent, to boost preservative efficacy or to influence the sensory properties of the end formula. It's a nice glycerin-based humectant and emollient that gives skin a smooth and luxurious feel. Retinol (pure Vitamin A) is probably the most proven anti-aging ingredient available OTC It has to be converted in the skin to retinoic acid to work its magic Once converted, it has the same effect as all-trans-retinoic acid, aka tretinoin A generally accepted ballpark number is that retinol is 10-to-20 times less potent than retinoic acid It makes skin less wrinkled, smoother, firmer and tighter It might also be helpful for acne prone skin as it normalizes keratinization and makes the pores produce less sebum Possible side effects and irritation are also much less than with retinoic acid Do not use whilst pregnant A six amino acid peptide that is claimed to improve firmness and skin tone. Its amino acid sequence is Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly that is also called the "spring fragment" and is repeated six times in the important skin protein, elastin molecule. The manufacturer made a double-blind, one-month long clinical study on 10 women and found that twice a day application of 4% Biopeptide El improved skin firmness by 33% and skin tone by 20%. A four amino acid peptide with the amino sequence of glycine-glutamine-proline-arginine. It is attached to palmitic acid (a fatty acid) to increase oil solubility and skin penetration. It works by reducing the production of the signal molecule, interleukin-6 (IL-6) which promotes inflammation in the skin and less inflammation means slower degradation of important things (like collagen) that results in younger looking skin for a longer time. It works in synergy with its pal, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 in the famous Matrixyl 3000 complex. You can read some more about the famous duo here. Green tea is one of the most researched natural ingredients The active parts are called polyphenols, or more precisely catechins (EGCG being the most abundant and most active catechin) There can be huge quality differences between green tea extracts.
