What acids are contained in face creams?
In addition to salicylic acid, creams may contain other types of substances that also help improve skin condition:
- Hyaluronic acid. Most often found in creams with a moisturizing effect. Products containing it are ideal for moisturizing skin of any type. Its main task is to replenish moisture deficiency. In addition, it activates the natural production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the elasticity and youth of the skin.
- Fruit acids. These components are present in many cosmetics. They can be contained in creams in the form of extracts or in synthesized form. As a rule, cosmetics manufacturers enrich their products with glycolic, lactic, tartaric and citric acids.
Another equally effective component of creams with nourishing and moisturizing properties is lecithin. The substance improves the condition of the skin, makes it smoother, more elastic, controls the secretion of the sebaceous glands, and does not clog pores. The product is considered an excellent conductor into the deep layers of the epidermis of other biologically active substances.
Lecithin paired with other active ingredients has an amazing effect. For example, a face cream with lecithin and salicylic acid relieves inflammation, promotes the regeneration of epidermal cells, and is an excellent prevention of early wrinkles. This product not only prevents the appearance of wrinkles, but also improves the condition of the skin in the presence of inflammatory elements, acne, and acne marks.
