Integrated Dermatology Group of Reston

So, you have located the best skincare deals near you, but how do you know which products are the best options for your skin?

Today we put an end to the guessing game so that you can make an educated purchase at your next dermatology appointment.

What is Your Skin Type?

The first thing you will want to identify when choosing a skincare product or line is your skin type.

After all, even the best products can be useless if used on the wrong type of skin.

Generally, your dermatologist will classify you as having oily, dry, sensitive, or combination skin.

Below are the top ingredients that you will want to see on a potential new product.

Glycerin

Glycerin is one of the biggest ingredients to look for when searching for a great new product that can give your skin a major boost.

Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides

Any great product should contain hyaluronic acid and ceramides which are naturally found in the skin and provide moisturizing qualities to reinvigorate the skin.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C may also be identified as l-ascorbic acid and is essential to reverse UV damage and to stimulate the production of collagen.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E or tocopherol should be included in any product with Vitamin C as they work well together.

Retinol

One of the best ingredients for nighttime skincare is retinol.

This powerful ingredient stimulates collagen growth and turns over cells for antiaging benefits.

Vitamin B3

Vitamin B3 or niacinamide is ideal for a patient experiencing overactive oil glands for a more even tone.

Skincare Ingredients to Avoid

Your doctor will be the best person to consult regarding ideal skincare products.

However, as a general rule of thumb, you should always avoid products that include fragrance, sulfates, parabens, and formaldehyde.
