Has your skincare routine been feeling a little outdated?
Each year brings with it new and exciting skincare ingredients, and 2024 is no exception. No matter your skin type or the skin concerns you’re dealing with, read on as Celestolite shares the skincare ingredients you need to try this year if you’re hoping for a glowing and youthful complexion.
Sodium Hyaluronate
Let’s start with an ingredient that has been exceptionally popular for the past few years; sodium hyaluronate. This ingredient comes from hyaluronic acid – a compound that’s loved for its hydrating properties. The difference is that sodium hyaluronate has a much smaller molecular size. This means that it works on a slightly deeper layer of the complexion, providing hydration to the cells that don’t often receive it.
The result? Skin that looks full, plump, and dewy. The more hydrated your skin is, the more it will glow, which is why sodium hyaluronate hasn’t stopped trending for quite a while now!
While sodium hyaluronate can be found in an array of skincare products, the best way to maximize on its hydrating power is with a serum. The Celestolite Jade Spectra Night Capsules would be a great choice since the encapsulated format will help to preserve the vitality of the ingredients within, which includes sodium hyaluronate.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
Peptides in general have been having a moment, with more and more people recognizing the many benefits that this ingredient group can offer. However, there’s one peptide in particular that has been soaking up most of the attention…
Meet acetyl hexapeptide-8, which is also sometimes referred to as Argireline. There has been so much hype surrounding this ingredient, largely because of its ability to quickly smooth away the appearance of wrinkles. It’s one of the best ingredients to turn to if you’re hoping for skin that looks smoother and firmer.
This is why acetyl hexapeptide-8 is one of the key ingredients in the Celestolite Estrella Anti-Wrinkle Syringe. In this formula, it’s joined by a couple of other peptides, plus sodium hyaluronate, caffeine, and an assortment of vitamins. It’s a unique combination of ingredients that not only enables this product to instantly soften the look of wrinkles but also to combat the appearance of aging in the long run too.
Salicylic Acid
The market for salicylic acid products is currently a big one and is set to expand even further. In fact, experts predict that within the next ten years, this already-thriving market is going to double in size.
Why all the fuss about salicylic acid? If you have acne-prone skin, you’ll quickly understand. This multi-tasking ingredient is able to prevent the appearance of acne breakouts in a few different ways. It reduces the feeling of inflammation, clears out pore blockages, and leaves the skin feeling less greasy.
With salicylic acid primarily being an exfoliating ingredient, it’s most commonly found in cleansers and exfoliators. However, if acne is a big problem for you, it would be worth seeking out additional products that contain the ingredient, such as the Celestolite Luna Mineral Cream. This lightweight moisturizer will hydrate your skin without weighing it down or clogging your pores.
Kojic Acid
One of the big skincare trends for 2024 is a focus on hyperpigmentation. This is caused by a few different factors but sun exposure is usually the main culprit. Whenever your skin receives too much sun exposure, it produces excess melanin – the pigment that gives your skin its color. All of that extra pigment has nowhere to go, causing it to cluster up and give the patch of skin above it a darker color.
While there are plenty of chemicals out there that can help with this, 2024 sees people take a turn toward naturally derived ingredients that won’t harm their skin. This is where kojic acid comes in.
Numerous studies confirm that kojic acid is highly effective at lightening the look of discoloration. It targets the appearance of excess melanin, rebalancing the skin tone so that it looks even in color once again.
This is why we’ve used kojic acid in the Celestolite Nova Dark Spot Corrector. It’s combined with other ingredients that have a similar effect on the complexion, such as arbutin, peptides, and vitamin C, enabling this powerful formula to get to work quickly!
Licorice Root Extract
When it comes to the appearance of discoloration, licorice root extract works in a similar way to kojic acid. The main difference in terms of results is that with licorice root extract being milder, it can take a little longer to fade the look of hyperpigmentation.
Of course, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The super-gentle nature of licorice root extract makes it an ideal way for those with sensitive skin to even out their complexion. It also means that the ingredient can safely be used on the delicate skin around the eyes.
This is why the Celestolite Estrella Eye Serum has been infused with licorice root extract. With peptides, vitamin C, and green tea extract in this blend too, any dark circles that you have under your eyes will soon look lighter, with your entire eye area taking on a more radiant finish.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
You’re probably aware of how beneficial vitamin C is for your skin. It has been one of the most hyped-up ingredients in recent years, and for good reason! From tightening the look of loose skin to banishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to brightening the complexion, it can seem as though this ingredient truly does it all.
What makes using vitamin C a little tricky is the fact that there are so many different forms of the ingredient out there. These vary in terms of potency and stability. Ideally, you want to be using a form of vitamin C that’s not only powerful but also stable enough not to quickly degrade once the product has been opened.
This led to the development of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, which you’ll find in the Celestolite Estrella Renewing Vitamin C Serum. This vitamin C derivative checks all of the boxes, making it a great way to lavish this ingredient onto your skin. Better still, this serum also boasts vitamins A and E, creating a powerhouse of antioxidants!
Lactic Acid
Many dermatologists would say that lactic acid is one of their favorite skincare ingredients. Why? Because not only is this one of the gentlest of alpha-hydroxy acids, making it great for exfoliating the skin without damaging the skin’s natural protective barrier, but it also has humectant properties. This means that it effectively hydrates the skin too.
Lactic acid is also loved for how it makes the skin look younger. It plumps up the complexion to reduce the visibility of wrinkles while also giving the skin a brighter appearance.
While most people use lactic acid as an exfoliant, it works well in other skincare products too. Case in point; the Celestolite Cosmic Firming Serum. This serum contains a small amount of lactic acid. It’s not enough to properly exfoliate your skin but it will still brighten your complexion and provide plenty of hydration. This is enhanced by the sodium hyaluronate in the serum. Meanwhile, vitamins A and C work to keep the skin feeling healthy from within.
Retinol
Although retinol remains a popular skincare ingredient, some experts believe that it is slowly being pushed aside by retinol alternatives. Ingredients like bakuchiol are replacing retinol in many skincare routines. Why? Because many find retinol to be too irritating for their skin.
While that may be the case, retinol isn’t always to blame. In fact, this vitamin A derivative is one of the best ingredients around for turning back the appearance of aging and giving the skin a glow. If your skin has been irritated by retinol in the past, you may be able to get around this by looking for a product that combines retinol with a few complexion-soothing ingredients, just like the Celestolite Luna Luminous Touch.
This lightweight moisturizer brings retinol together with extracts from cucumber, chamomile, coral seaweed, and sea buckthorn. These ingredients are all known for how they calm the feeling of irritation and inflammation. This enables your skin to benefit from the retinol without having to deal with side effects!
Collagen
You’re probably aware of how your skin contains collagen fibers. This protein gives your skin its structure and volume. The more collagen you have in your skin, the smoother and firmer your skin will be.
Sadly, collagen production in the skin declines with age. This is why the skin takes on a looser and more wrinkled appearance as the years go on. In an attempt to counter this, many people are now turning to collagen-infused skincare products. They believe that these will help to compensate for the collagen that their skin is no longer producing. Unfortunately, this belief is misguided. The collagen in your skin lies deep, at a level that topical products can’t reach.
So, if this is the case, why are we recommending that you add collagen to your skincare routine? Well, even though this ingredient may not be able to replace the collagen fibers in your skin, it’s still one of the best ingredients for hydrating the skin. Just like sodium hyaluronate, collagen functions as a humectant. Its moisture-binding properties immediately leave the skin looking smoother and fuller.
See this for yourself by trying the Celestolite Mars Stellar Serum. The hydrating effects of the collagen in this product are amplified by the other humectants that we’ve added in, including sodium hyaluronate, peptides, glycerin, and castor oil. This serum also contains vitamin C, giving it antioxidant properties that will leave your skin looking refreshed and revived!
Summary
If you’ve been failing to see good results from your skincare routine, it could be time to take a closer look at the ingredients you’re using. Make sure that they’re all backed by science and proven to be effective, just like the ingredients that we’ve featured above. If you’re ever in doubt, treat yourself to a few Celestolite products and you’ll be able to quickly power up your entire routine!
