The Skincare Ingredient Power Couples That Are Stronger Together

Here are our power duo's that are stronger together...

 

Vitamin C &  Vitamin E (& Bonus Ferulic Acid)

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, however a little stubborn, and can be unstable. 
When it is paired with Vitamin E (another antioxidant), it becomes more stable and effective.
It actually increases the effects of Vitamin C by 8 times.
 
 

Salicylic acid + Niacinamide

If you suffer from breakouts then the combination of Salicylic acid & Niacinamide is a must.
Helping to reduce pore size and sebum production.
 
 

Ceramides + Fatty Acids 

Both of these ingredients help to hydrate, strengthen and smooth the skin's surface.
Ceramides help to keep skin hydrated by sealing in moisture, which can help the skin appear smooth and plump and even out fine lines.
Fatty acids repair the skin's barrier to improve moisture and elasticity.
 
 
 


Vitamin C + Retinol 

If you’re looking to brighten skin and reduce wrinkles then it has to be Vitamin C in the morning and Retinol at Night.
Vitamin C helps to diminish existing fine lines and wrinkles while protecting against future damage.
Retinol is the gold standard of anti-aging skincare since it helps increase cellular turnover which stimulates the production of new skin cells.
 
 
 
 
 

Sunscreen + Antioxidants 

Choosing sunscreens with added antioxidants increases Photoprotection.
Antioxidants counteract free radicals that accelerate skin aging.
