Essential Knowledge For Anti-Aging: Top 6 Anti-Aging Ingredients Certified by Beauty Instructors Revealed!

Exosomes are active vesicles secreted by stem cells, rich in proteins, growth factors, and various cellular information. They can act as signaling factors between cells, enabling recipient cells to perform functions such as repairing damage and suppressing inflammation, thereby achieving anti-aging effects. Due to their ability to penetrate deeply into the skin and deliver important active molecules, exosomes have become the star ingredient in anti-aging skincare for 2024! Exosomes can be classified based on their sources into animal exosomes, fungal exosomes, and plant exosomes. Yeast-derived exosomes (fungal origin) are the top choice for anti-aging skincare because their cellular structure is highly compatible with human skin, gently regulating gene expression, repairing damaged cells, and causing minimal allergic reactions, making them the mildest yet effective anti-aging option. Exosomes not only promote intercellular signaling but also stimulate collagen production, achieving effects that delay aging and repair cells. They can deeply act on the skin, restoring youthful vitality while effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and improving skin elasticity and firmness.

Whether from internal or external factors, skin damage can lead to decreased tolerance and protection, making the skin more prone to dryness, itching, redness, flaking, sensitivity, roughness, tightness, and irritation. Among these, itching and redness are the most unbearable! Because the body’s temperature rises at night, the skin is more prone to itching, making it difficult for many to fall asleep. Subconscious scratching leads to worsening of the skin barrier, leading to greater discomfort. As the protection weakens, the impact of one’s quality of life becomes more significant.

Edelweiss itself possesses antioxidant properties and a high degree of self-healing ability! Edelweiss grows in extremely cold environments, and its extracted essence contains a high concentration of leontopodic acid, providing effective antioxidant power. It restores mitochondrial vitality, protects the integrity of the extracellular matrix, resists oxidative stress caused by environmental factors, and restores skin firmness, achieving anti-aging effects. Therefore, it is widely used in various anti-aging skincare products and has become a precious ingredient that has garnered significant attention recently.

Retinol is one of the members of the vitamin A family, known as retinoid or a derivative of vitamin A. It primarily acts on the deeper layers of the skin, providing anti-aging benefits, promoting metabolism, removing dead skin cells, and tightening fine lines, resulting in smoother, finer, and more elastic skin. At the same time, it can also inhibit sebum secretion, reducing enlarged pores and the occurrence of acne, which is why it is often applied in medical aesthetics and anti-aging skincare products. In addition, we can also obtain retinol from foods rich in Vitamin A, such as animal liver, dairy products, and orange, yellow, and green fruits and vegetables like carrots and cantaloupes. This not only makes the skin healthier but also enhances the skin's condition from the inside out!

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring moisturizing substance found in human skin tissue that attracts and locks in moisture, maintaining the skin's moisture balance and deeply penetrating the skin's layers to reduce moisture loss, resulting in plump, hydrated skin and improving dryness and roughness. As we age, the hyaluronic acid in our bodies continuously diminishes, causing the skin to become dry, lose elasticity, and develop wrinkles. Various signs of aging will then come knocking at the door. Therefore, replenishing hyaluronic acid in the skin to maintain hydration and moisture retention is a crucial key to combating aging! Additionally, hyaluronic acid also helps regulate the skin's microbiome, contributing to a healthy and youthful complexion.

Glutathione is a small molecule tripeptide composed of three amino acids (glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine) that exists in human cells and possesses powerful antioxidant properties. It can work synergistically with vitamins C and E to enhance the neutralization of free radicals, thereby slowing down the aging process of skin cells. Additionally, it can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, obstruct the formation of melanin, and suppress melanin deposition, resulting in a fair and radiant complexion. In addition to supplementing glutathione through skincare products, we can also obtain it from food sources, including: asparagus, avocado, okra, broccoli, and kiwi.
