Nowadays, combat the passage of time and maintain a radiant and younger skin is not impossible. There are different options on the market and for all pockets, focused on giving our skin what you need: nutrition, resistance, firmness, luminosity. To achieve this we only have to look for the right ingredients in our beauty products, and be constant in your application.
Here we give you a list of 8 essential ingredients in anti-aging treatments, and how they work.

Retinol
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that functions as a light peeling, and helps eliminate spots and small wrinkles. Retinoids in general make the skin layers thinner and smooth. Retinol uncovers the blocked pores, reduces its size, eliminates dead cells and stimulates cell renewal. It also increases the natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen.

Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a precursor of collagen, so it increases its concentration into the skin, giving it more volume while reducing the signs of age, such as lines of expression and wrinkles. In addition, vitamin C is an important antioxidant, so it protects the skin and combats the damage caused by free radicals. As if that were not enough, it also reduces stains and improves the texture of the skin in general.


Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that combats free radicals that damage and age the skin, neutralizing oxidation. The body does not produce vitamin E naturally, so it is essential to consume it in our food, as well as apply it on our skin with cosmetic treatments. Vitamin E also reduces inflammation of the body and skin.


Vitamin K.
Vitamin K has an anti-aging vital function, by improving blood circulation, which contributes to removing calcium that is deposited in elastin fibers, causing wrinkles to harden and occur. It is particularly effective as an ingredient in creams for the area around the eyes. It is also effective against hematomas, scars, burns and stretch marks. It favors hydration and provides luminosity.

Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisturizer that is naturally found in our body, but which begins to decrease around 35 years, causing loss of volume and firmness. Its greatest benefit is its ability to attract water, so it is an ideal ally in beauty treatments, by giving the face a more smaller appearance and filling the lines of expression.


Alfa hydroxide acids
Alpha hydroxide acids, also called AHA, are acidic acids that are obtained from fruits such as lemons and oranges. In this group, glycolic acid and lactic acid are found, among others. These acids work as exfoliating, eliminating dead cells from the surface of the skin, and increase blood flow. They also fight stains, discoloration and damage caused by the sun, because they inhibit the formation of melanin. Glycolic acid in particular has a very small molecular chain, so its penetration into the skin is faster and faster. The AHA regenerate the skin and reduce wrinkles.


Green tea extract
Green tea has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Its anti-agency benefits are attributed to polyphenols, a type of flavonoids that reduces the damage caused by the sun, protects skin from cancer, and decreases the decomposition of collagen. The polyphenols of green tea also stimulate cell regeneration and reduce aging of blood vessels.


Resveratrol.
Resveratrol is an antioxidant found in plants and fruits such as blackberries, red grapes and currants, which combats oxidation, reduces the appearance of the lines of expression, regenerates skin cells and improves the appearance of the face in general. It has anti-inflammatory properties, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and most importantly: studies have revealed that it seems to act directly in a gene related to longevity, delaying aging.
