Signs of skin aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity, are common concerns. Luckily, there are several effective anti-aging actives that can help slow down these signs and maintain youthful, glowing skin. In this article, we’ll explore four must-have anti-aging actives to incorporate into your skincare routine.
1. Hyaluronic acid: the ultimate moisturizer
Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that occurs naturally in our skin. It has the incredible ability to attract and retain water, making it a powerful moisturizer. As we age, our skin produces less hyaluronic acid, which can lead to dehydration and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Why use it? Hyaluronic acid helps to fill the dehydration of the skin, making it smoother and plumper. It limits the appearance of wrinkles by maintaining optimal hydration.
- How to incorporate it: Look for serums and creams that contain hyaluronic acid. Apply them morning and night to clean, slightly damp skin to maximize absorption.

2. Peptides: Collagen stimulants
Peptides are chains of amino acids that play a crucial role in stimulating the natural production of collagen. Collagen is an essential protein that maintains the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
- Why use it? By stimulating collagen production, peptides help strengthen the skin's structure, reducing wrinkles and improving firmness.
- How to integrate it? Use the Kurku-ma Serum based on peptides in the morning and/or evening. These products are particularly effective in addition to hyaluronic acid for a hydrating and plumping action. In addition, the Kurku-ma Serum also contains Vitamin C, a perfect anti-oxidant to hydrate the skin while lightening spots.
3. Collagen: for firmer skin
Collagen is a key structural protein in the skin, but its production declines with age. When applied to the skin, collagen can help improve elasticity and firmness.
- Why use it? When the skin really starts to lose elasticity and peptides are no longer enough, collagen helps restore the structure of the skin, making it firmer and smoother.
- How to integrate it? Opt for creams and masks enriched with collagen. Apply them regularly for visible results.
4. Retinol and bakuchiol: to visibly reduce wrinkles
Retinol is a form of vitamin A known for its ability to speed up cell turnover and stimulate collagen production. Bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative, offers similar benefits without the potentially irritating side effects of retinol.
- Why use them? Retinol and bakuchiol help visibly reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture by promoting cell turnover.
- How to integrate them? Introduce retinol or bakuchiol gradually into your routine, starting with an application twice a week in the evening, then increasing the frequency according to your skin's tolerance. Be sure to always use sunscreen in the morning, as these active ingredients can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays.
