Let’s get one thing straight—ageing skin is beautiful skin. But if you want to support it with skincare that works smarter (not harder), the right ingredients make all the difference.
From fine lines to a loss of elasticity, your skin changes with time. And that’s completely natural. The key is choosing products that nourish, protect, and restore—without overwhelming delicate skin.
Here are some of the best ingredients to look for if you’re focused on supporting ageing skin.
1. Hyaluronic Acid & Sodium Hyaluronate
These hydration heroes are essential at any age—but especially as we get older. They help replenish water in the skin, giving it that plump, healthy look.
Why they matter:
Hydrated skin looks smoother and more radiant, which helps soften the appearance of fine lines.
Try:
Glow Compact Cushion
Matte Compact Cushion
2. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
This multitasking ingredient helps brighten dullness, improve skin elasticity, and even out tone—making it a top pick for anyone seeing signs of environmental damage or pigmentation.
Why it matters:
It helps strengthen the skin barrier and reduces the appearance of dark spots, without being harsh.
3. Antioxidants (Like Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract)
Also known as Baikal Skullcap, this powerful plant-based extract is rich in flavonoids that help protect the skin from oxidative stress.
Why it matters:
Antioxidants fight the free radicals that speed up ageing, while calming inflammation and supporting brightness.
Try:
Glow Compact Cushion
Matte Compact Cushion
4. Peptides
Peptides are small proteins that help support collagen production—your skin’s natural “bounce” factor. They can help improve firmness, reduce wrinkle depth, and support overall smoothness.
Why they matter:
Collagen production slows as we age, and peptides help keep the structure strong and supported.
5. Squalane
This lightweight oil mimics your skin’s natural oils and helps keep it moisturized without clogging pores.
Why it matters:
Dryness is a common concern as skin matures. Squalane helps lock in hydration and keeps your skin soft and supple.
