Let's cut through the noise of endless skincare trends and focus on what actually works. If you're looking to level up your skincare game, understanding the holy trinity of skin vitamins—A, B3, and C—is non-negotiable. These aren't just trendy ingredients; they're scientifically-backed powerhouses that have revolutionized modern skincare.
Think of these vitamins as your skin's dream team: Vitamin A (the rejuvenator), B3 (the balancer), and C (the protector). Each plays a crucial role in transforming your skin from the inside out, and COSMEDIX has masterfully incorporated these ingredients into products that deliver real results—no snake oil here.
Ready to decode these game-changing ingredients and discover how to incorporate them into your routine? We're breaking down the science, benefits, and exactly which products will give you the most bang for your buck. Whether you're battling breakouts, fighting fine lines, or just wanting to maintain that glow, understanding these vital ingredients is about to change your skincare game forever.
The first key skincare ingredient that we want to focus on is Vitamin A! This popular ingredient is found in Retinol and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as it helps improve the look of skin tone, texture, and blemishes. You can find Vitamin A in several COSMEDIX skincare products, such as Serum 16 Rapid Renewal Serum which features 2x the Vitamin A to help address early signs of aging, as well as Define Age-Defying Treatment to help gently exfoliate skin to promote a smoother looking texture.
Products that are formulated with Vitamin A can be used every other day once your skin has developed a tolerance. We recommend pairing Vitamin A with gentle skincare products such as Benefit Clean Gentle Cleanser to help wash away any dirt, oil and makeup. Vitamin A also works well with products formulated with Ceramides, such as Humidify Deep Moisture & Firming Hydrator to help hydrate skin while locking in moisture for lasting hydration. Vitamin A can cause your skin to become more sensitive in the sun, so we recommend always applying a SPF such as Zinc Defense Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 in your morning skincare routine to help protect your skin from UVA/UVB rays.
Pro Tip: If you have sensitive skin, try applying a moisturizer before applying any skincare products with Retinol/Vitamin A to help provide a barrier to your skin.
Vitamin B3
Skin-loving Vitamin B3 is found in Niacinamide to help improve the look of skin tone and texture. You can find Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) in fan-favorite skincare such as Surge Hyaluronic Acid Booster to help revitalize the look of skin, as well as our fan-favorite moisturizer Humidify Deep Moisture & Firming Hydrator to help skin appear smoother and softer.
Niacinamide can be used both morning and night, making it a great ingredient to add to your daily skincare routine! We recommend pairing Niacinamide with products formulated with Salicylic Acid to help even the look of skin tone such as Clarify Salicylic Acid Foaming Cleanser, as well as products with Hyaluronic Acid such as Surge Hyaluronic Acid Booster and Skin Thirst Moisturizing Hyaluronic Acid Cream to help hydrate and plump the look of skin.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a well-known skincare ingredient as it has several skincare benefits such as brightening the look of skin and helping to protect skin from environmental stressors. You can find Vitamin C in COSMEDIX skincare products such as BrillianCy Vitamin C Brightening Face Oil to help visibly brighten the look of skin, Pure C Vitamin C Mixing Crystals to help promote brighter, smoother, more even-looking skin and Revert Boosting Brightening Serum to help reduce the appearance of dark spots.
Vitamin C can be used daily to help give your skin a more radiant-looking appearance! Vitamin C pairs well with hydrating skincare products formulated with Coconut Oil such as Crystal Cleanse Hydrating Liquid Crystal Cleansing Cream to help deeply hydrate and soothe the skin as it helps wash away dirt, oil, and makeup. Vitamin C also pairs well with Niacinamide, which can be found in Shineless Oil-Free Moisturizer to help hydrate and smooth the look of skin.
