Four Skin Care Must Haves:

1. Glycolic Acid
   The benefits: Using glycolic acid will leave your skin feeling soft and looking radiant and more youthful. Plus, it loosens clogged pores, so it helps with any blackheads and deeper cystic acne. It can also diminish the appearance of acne scars and reduce hyperpigmentation and photo-aging.
   

2. Vitamin C
   The benefits: Not only can it treat and prevent hyperpigmentation, photo-aging, and inflammation. Applying it daily can also boost collagen production. Another perk: If you live in a metropolitan area where pollution wreaks havoc on your complexion, Vitamin C can help stave off damage, keeping your skin looking radiant.
   

3. Retinol
   The benefits: Unlike other anti-aging ingredients that may only target the top-most layer of skin, topical retinol improves the elasticity of the top, middle, and deepest layers of skin by stimulating collagen and elastin formation. Simply put: It will give you amazing results.
   

4. Ceramides
   The benefits: While people with clear, healthy skin have over 340 ceramide species within their moisture barrier, those living with skin conditions like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, and dandruff have lower ceramide levels, which impact how well they can retain moisture. Ceramides hold water in the skin, which leads to a more hydrated complexion.
