Did you know that combining certain ingredients can supercharge your skincare routine? These ingredient combos are some of the most effective go-to’s for delivering targeted solutions for your specific skin concerns. With the right combinations, achieving your skincare goals is just a pairing away!
Antioxidants + SPF = enhance sun protection
Sunscreen is non-negotiable, but did you know that pairing it with antioxidants can enhance its protective powers? Antioxidants neutralise free radicals caused by UV exposure, while SPF shields your skin from harmful UV rays. Try our Sun Zone Dry Mist SPF 50 fortified with antioxidant-rich Cloudberry extract, which counteracts oxidative stress from both sunlight and pollution. Pair it with Optimals Hydra Radiance Day Cream, infused with antioxidants from Swedish Plant Extracts and a cocktail of vitamins, for superior sun protection and anti-ageing benefits.
Salicylic Acid + Niacinamide = balance oil production
Struggling with oily skin and pesky breakouts? Meet your dynamic duo of Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide. Salicylic Acid dives deep into your pores, dissolving excess oil and unclogging them, while Niacinamide regulates sebum production, keeping oiliness in check without over-drying your skin. For an effective treatment, try our Pure Skin Face Wash and Smoothing Face Scrub, both enriched with Salicylic Acid, paired with NovAge ProCeuticals Niacinamide & Cica Bio-Cellulose Sheet Mask for a balanced, shine-free complexion.
Retinol + Peptides = clear stubborn acne
Say goodbye to stubborn acne with the powerhouse combination of retinol and peptides. Retinol, a derivative of Vitamin A, accelerates cell turnover, unclogs pores, and reduces inflammation, while peptides promote collagen production, aiding in the healing process of acne scars. Experience clearer, smoother skin with targeted treatments such as NovAge ProCeuticals Retinol Power Drops and Instant Peptide Ampoules to combat flareups and redness for a flawless complexion.
Vitamin C + Vitamin E = fade dark spots
Struggling with hyperpigmentation and dark spots? Team up Vitamin C and E for a radiant, even-toned complexion. Vitamin C inhibits melanin production, brightening dark spots and promoting skin radiance, while Vitamin E nourishes and protects the skin barrier, enhancing the effects of Vitamin C. Try Optimals Even Out Serum, enriched with Vitamin C, paired with Optimals Even Out Day Cream SPF 20, infused with Vitamin E derivatives from Cranberry Seed Oil, for a powerful brightening and moisturising combo that fades dark spots and reveals luminous skin.
