We covered a few of the best anti-aging ingredients in a previous post, but the list certainly doesn’t stop there. In fact, there are many scientifically-proven anti-aging ingredients, some of which are even natural ingredients for anti-aging. Today, we’re going to take a look at five more of the best anti-aging ingredients for you to look out for in your skincare products.
5 More Anti-Aging Ingredients You Should Start Using Now:
#1: Zinc Oxide?!
Mode: Lifestyle
If you recognize this as the active ingredient in physical (also known as mineral) sunscreen, you’d be right! Realistically, it’s less that the zinc oxide is performing its own direct anti-aging benefits… and more that you’re protecting yourself from sun damage. So, if you really want to get the most out of your anti-aging regimen, don’t forget to protect your skin at the source and use sunscreen every day!
#2: Retinoids & Retinol
Mode: Topical
You’ve likely heard about these ingredients as they’ve long been considered a staple in anti-aging regimens. Retinoids and retinol products increase cell turnover, but also help to reduce inflammation and firm up sagging skin (our Advanced Firming Cream is great for that, too!)

#3: Vitamin C
Mode: Topical & Internal
It’s no secret that vitamin C is a huge source of antioxidants for the body. We take it to avoid getting sick, and many people use it to help them absorb iron from the food they eat. However, vitamin C can be helpful as an ingredient in skincare products, too. Since it’s an antioxidant, it can help protect the skin against many types of damage.
#4: Curcumin
Mode: Internal
A critical component in turmeric, curcumin is well-documented to have effects on the natural aging process. From reducing inflammation to increasing the body’s antioxidant capacity, curcumin is an anti-aging powerhouse. Plus, it can very easily and safely be taken as a supplement if you don’t enjoy turmeric in your foods.
#5: Alpha-Hydroxy Acids
Mode: Topical
Also known as AHAs, alpha-hydroxy acids are known for being a great solution for hyperpigmentation of all kinds. They brighten the skin, which can be especially helpful if you have lots of age spots or sun spots. AHAs come in a variety of applications, including facial masks and peels. Be careful not to use AHAs and retinoid products the same day, though, because they can both contribute to irritation and dryness.
