I just ran across this information from skin care expert Paula Begoun- author of the very popular book, "Don't go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me" and creator of the skin care line, Paula's Choice. She has created two lists of important anti-aging ingredients as well as product recommendations. As she puts it,
“What you will discover in this report is a comprehensive list of the more popular cosmetic ingredients that have substantiated research showing them to be among the top "anti-aging" ingredients available today.”
Here is the breakdown:
A-List- Leading the way to Healthier, Younger Looking Skin:
Glycolic (or Lactic) Acid:
Salicylic Acid
Retinol
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Niacinamide
Sunscreen Actives
B-List- Playing a Supportive Role To Help Skin Look its Best:
Green Tea
Soy Isoflavones / Extract
Pomegranate
Ceramides
Linoleic / Linolenic Acids / Phospholipids
I really like how she has the scientific research there for everyone to look into themselves and avoids some ‘breakthrough’ or trendy ingredients if they don’t have the research to back their claims.
