These Powerful Compounds Will Help You Win the War Against Wrinkles and Crocodile Skin.
The key to feeling younger? Acid. Not dropping it – wearing it. “People think all acids cause damage or peeling,” says dermatologist Dr. Terrence Keaney. But the truth is, they have a wide range of benefits. Some types are hydrating, while others exfoliate or work on lines and pigmentation. You just have to select an acid that’s right for your skin. Read on for five options that can give you a healthier, young erlooking mug.
01 SALICYLIC ACID
BEST FOR
Destroying stubborn blackheads as well as preventing blemishes in the first place.
Imagine taking a power washer to your face: this popular beta-hydroxy acid, found in most acne cleansers and spot treatments, penetrates deep into your pores to sweep away grime and oil and break down the bonds between dead cells. As a result, that clean slate paves the way for other grooming products to work more effectively. Other benefits: salicylic acid promotes new skin growth, which tends to slow down starting around age 30, and it contains anti-inflammatory properties to calm irritated skin. It works for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin. Your face can end up feeling parched, though, so apply moisturiser immediately after use.
TRY THIS
The oil-free formulation contains carnitine, salicylic acid technology and mineral magnesium to restore the skin’s oil-moisture balance, provide long-lasting shine control, and prevent breakouts.
02 GLYCOLIC ACID
BEST FOR
Best for sloughing away dead skin cells that cause acne and make your face look dull and gray.
