Struggle with dry skin? Hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerine, ceramides and squalane will help to replenish your skin's moisture. If your complexion is on the oily side, look for serums and cleansers formulated with salicylic, glycolic or lactic acid. These acids regulate oil production, deep clean your pores and prevent breakouts. No skincare routine is complete without a healthy dose of antioxidants. Ingredients like vitamin C and caffeine protect your skin from free radicals (think the sun and pollution) to slow down the ageing process.
