By Alison McGill<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to get lost in the lexicon of beauty, especially when we\u2019re talking skincare. Buzzworthy ingredients seem to change week-to-week so it can be hard to keep up and know what your skin really needs. \u201cIngredient knowledge is imperative today,\u201d say Mark Curry, co-founder, The INKEY List<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Selfless by Hyram<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s important to know what you are putting on your skin and how it works.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to help you navigate what\u2019s what with today\u2019s skincare ingredient essentials. Here are four key skincare ingredients you should be using now to deliver the ultimate glow up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hyaluronic Acid<\/strong>
\nThis is the supreme hydrator. It keeps your skin\u2019s moisture levels optimized resulting in a smooth, plump appearance. Tina Chen Craig, founder of UBeauty<\/a>, says the hyaluronic acid can sound daunting to the uneducated. \u201cIt\u2019s not an acid. In unscientific terms, hyaluronic acid is a clear, sugary goo that acts as a cushion for our skin, nerves, and joints and it\u2019s a naturally occurring substance in the body.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chen Craig explains in skincare, hyaluronic acid is used as a humectant because it can hold water very efficiently. \u201cWhen applied, it draws moisture into the skin\u2014it can actually hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water!\u201d Chen Craig has made hyaluronic acid the standout skincare ingredient of a few UBeauty products, most notably the SUPER Hydrator, a serum that she says features five unique hyaluronic acids to deliver maximum impact.<\/p>\n

29Secrets<\/em> recommends:<\/strong> UBeauty SUPER Hydrator<\/a>, $168<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Niacinamide<\/strong>
\nAlso known as vitamin B3. <\/sub>niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin which supports your skin to improve tone and minimise the appearance of pores. Curry reports this ingredient is an all-around all-star and plays a number of important roles in your skincare regime. \u201cMost notably it helps maintain a healthy skin barrier function and reduces and controls sebum on the skin to reduce blemishes and redness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curry says at The INKEY List, niacinamide has its own stand-alone product, a treatment serum to be used morning and night after cleansing. \u201cWe love powering a formula with a single ingredient focus,\u201d Curry says. \u201cIt makes your skincare journey easier to navigate because you are focused on just one ingredient and the benefits derived from it.\u201d<\/p>\n

29Secrets<\/em> recommends:<\/strong> INKEY List Niacinamide<\/a>, $9<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Squalane<\/strong>
\n\u201cThis is a natural lipid found in our skin,\u201d shares Connie Lo, co-founder of skincare brand Three Ships<\/a>. \u201cIt is a natural emollient as well as a natural antioxidant which helps to fight free radicals, reduce fine lines and reverse UV damage and skin hyperpigmentation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lo explains because squalane is something native to our bodies, it\u2019s perfect for use on all skin types. It\u2019s also an ingredient that never feels heavy, greasy and will not clog pores or cause breakouts. Three Ships Radiance Grape Stem Cell + Squalane Day Cream has become the company\u2019s best seller (Lo reports it has sold out four times over the pandemic) and contains squalane sourced from sustainable cane sugar. \u201cWe upcycle so we don\u2019t impact the global food supply chain,\u201d says Lo.<\/p>\n

29Secrets<\/em> recommends:<\/strong> Three Ships Radiance Grape Stem Cell + Squalane Day Cream<\/a>, $39<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Retinol<\/strong>
\nRetinol or Vitamin A is the gold standard of skincare ingredients. Technically speaking, retinol is a type of retinoid which work by increasing collagen production and rate of cell turnover. \u201cIt reduces the appearance of fine lines, boosts skin clarity and skin tone for a brighter complexion,\u201d Curry says.<\/p>\n

Though Retinol is incredibly effective, be warned it\u2019s also extremely potent and can leave sensitive skin looking and feeling angry. Curry recommends starting small with retinol use to see how your skin tolerates it; if all runs smoothly work up to greater concentrations. Another tip Curry has for sensitive skin types is to use formulas like Selfless By Hyram\u2019s Retinol & Rainbow Algae Repair Serum which pairs retinol with soothing and hydrating ingredients. \u201cWe use encapsulated retinol in this serum which means it\u2019s slow release and less aggressive. Combined with our rainbow algae complex and squalene, it\u2019s perfect for all skin types.\u201d<\/p>\n

29Secrets<\/em> recommends:<\/strong> Selfless By Hyram\u2019s Retinol & Rainbow Algae Repair Serum<\/a>, $39<\/p>\n
