There are so many great skincare ingredients out there, yet some are far more effective than others. If you want to ensure that your skincare routine is really as good as it can be, read on as Venofye shares 10 superstar ingredients that are definitely worth using:
1) Bee Venom
While some of the skincare ingredients we’ll be discussing have already made a name for themselves, others, like bee venom, aren’t quite as mainstream…yet! Bee venom is an ingredient that offers some spectacular benefits. Research confirms that it significantly reduces the appearance of wrinkle depth and count, making it a great ingredient to use if you’re hoping for younger-looking skin. It can also help with the visibility of inflammation, acne, eczema, and more.
Although bee venom comes from bees, it’s very different from other animal-derived products. The extraction method doesn’t involve the bee losing its stinger or dying – it goes on to live a healthy and happy life!
Bee venom is still considered to be quite a ‘new’ ingredient, although it’s one that Venofye has championed from the start. Our entire brand is based around it, so you’ll find the ingredient in each one of our skincare products. For an easy way to add it to your daily routine, give the Blossom Bee Day Moisturizer a try!
2) Sodium Hyaluronate
You’ve probably heard of hyaluronic acid. It’s an ingredient that everyone knows and loves! In fact, you’ll find it in a few Venofye products, including the Blossom Bee Advanced Wrinkle Corrector. It’s a great ingredient for hydrating the surface of the skin.
Sodium hyaluronate is derived from hyaluronic acid. It features a much smaller molecular size, meaning easier penetration. It leaves the skin feeling hydrated on an even deeper level. This provides a long-lasting source of moisture for skin cells to draw from.
Again, you’ll find sodium hyaluronate in several Venofye products. If you want to see just how effective it is at quickly hydrating the skin, give the Orchard Bee Age-Defy Complex Solution a try. It works in seconds to plump, firm, and brighten the complexion, with sodium hyaluronate playing a big part in this.
3) Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
You likely expected to see vitamin C on this list. After all, it’s revered for being one of the best skincare ingredients out there! This powerful antioxidant tackles the appearance of aging, discoloration, dehydration, and more.
However, there are several forms of vitamin C available, which is where things can get confusing. They’re not all equal, making it worth checking that you’re giving your skin the vitamin C derivative that’s best suited to it.
Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is one form of vitamin C that works well for all skin types. Its oil-solubility is one of its distinguishing features. This means that it can penetrate through the lipid layer of your skin more effectively than water-soluble forms of vitamin C. This is why it’s one of the vitamin C derivatives that we’ve used in the Venofye Blossom Bee Vitamin C Serum. It’s joined by ascorbyl palmitate, along with several other antioxidant-rich skincare ingredients.
4) Peptides
Proteins give your skin its structure and support. Those proteins are made up of peptides, which shows just how crucial peptides are when it comes to the integrity of your skin. Although the body naturally produces peptides, this, as with many of the other processes that occur in your skin, declines with age. With peptides playing a key role in keeping the skin looking smooth, firm, and buoyant, a lack of these compounds can quickly lead to a wrinkled, dull, and sallow complexion.
This is when the topical application of peptides can be useful. These skincare ingredients will work to tackle the appearance of aging from multiple angles. Meanwhile, they’ll also keep the skin barrier feeling supported and resilient.
There are different types of peptides used in skincare. Each one will provide its own range of additional benefits. Skincare products that contain a peptide blend, like the duo of peptides in the Venofye Iron Bee Boosting Serum, tend to provide better visible results.
5) Lactic Acid
Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are a group of skincare ingredients that are primarily known for their exfoliating effects. They work by dissolving the chemical bonds that hold dead skin cells together, allowing them to be shed. This immediately gives the skin a smoother, brighter, and fresher finish.
Lactic acid sits within the AHA group. It’s produced by fermenting certain plants, like corn and beets. While most AHAs are known for being pretty potent, lactic acid is loved for its gentle nature. It’s one of the few AHAs that can be used on all skin types, although those with dry or sensitive skin tend to benefit from it the most.
Like the other AHAs, lactic acid comes with a few of its own unique benefits too. The main one is that it functions as a humectant as well. This means that it binds moisture to the skin to provide hydration. This is why we’ve included lactic acid in the Serpent ThermDeluxe Serum, which you’ll find in the Venofye Serpent Thermatox Collection. It’s joined by other ingredients that clarify and hydrate the skin, enabling this serum to give the skin a much brighter and more vibrant finish.
6) Panthenol
Some skincare ingredients are hugely underrated. Panthenol is one of them. Also known as Provitamin B5, panthenol turns into pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) when it’s absorbed into the skin, binding moisture and boosting hydration.
In addition to functioning as a humectant, panthenol is also classed as an emollient. Add this ingredient to your routine and you’ll see skin barrier function start to improve, with panthenol keeping that barrier feeling strong and revitalized.
Panthenol is a very gentle ingredient, making it great for the more delicate areas of the skin, such as the skin around the eyes. It provides the support that the eye area needs in order to keep itself looking firm, bouncy, and youthful. Add the Venofye Royal Jelly Bee Eye Firming Cream to your skincare routine, and you’ll soon see exactly what we mean!
7) Licorice Root
The world of botanical skincare ingredients is vast, yet some stand out from the crowd due to their superior properties. Licorice root extract, for instance, provides powerful antioxidants while quickly soothing the appearance of inflammation. Its main party trick, however, is in how it lightens the visibility of hyperpigmentation. Thanks to glabridin, a compound found in the ingredient, regular use of the ingredient will soon even out the look of your skin.
Another noteworthy compound in licorice root extract is licochalcone. It helps to regulate how oily the skin feels. Those with overly oily skin will be able to de-grease their complexion in the long run by making licorice root extract a part of daily skincare.
With the Venofye Beehive Silk Cream, this is easy. Designed for daily use, this lightweight moisturizer is packed with superstar ingredients. Licorice root extract, sodium hyaluronate, green tea extract, and bee venom are just a few of the famous names you’ll spot on this product’s ingredient list.
8) Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is an ingredient that people often turn to when their skin is feeling particularly inflamed. After a sunburn, for example, there’s no better ingredient to slather onto your skin than aloe vera!
However, if you aren’t including this ingredient in your regular, daily skincare routine, you’re missing out. In addition to feeling instantly soothing, cooling, and refreshing, this botanical packs some serious other benefits too. Being a humectant, it’s great for moisture retention. Its numerous bioactive compounds lend themselves well to tackling the appearance of aging. Many of those vitamins and antioxidants also play a crucial role in the overall health of your complexion.
Aloe vera leaf extract can be found in a number of Venofye products. However, if you want to really maximize on this ingredient’s properties, check out the Venofye Blossom Bee Facial Toner. One of the main ingredients in this formula is aloe vera leaf juice. This enables you to try the ingredient in a more natural form.
9) Green Tea
Green tea is another botanical worth focusing on. It’s already renowned for its health benefits when consumed. Applying it topically enables your skin to directly reap its potent properties too.
One of green tea’s claims to fame is its high levels of catechins. These are extremely powerful antioxidants that keep the skin feeling protected from environmental stress. EGCG is one catechin found in green tea that has been proven to make a big difference to skin hydration, the appearance of wrinkles, and more.
Green tea is another ingredient that’s worth using daily. The Venofye Iron Bee Transforming Cream is one moisturizer that’s infused with it. It combines green tea with some of the other skincare ingredients on this list, such as aloe vera and bee venom. With this moisturizer full of superstars, it will really enhance your daily skincare routine.
10) Pomegranate
Like green tea, pomegranate is famous for being a superfood. This means that it contains more antioxidants than average, and antioxidants are compounds that the skin absolutely loves!
There are numerous studies that support the many ways in which pomegranate extract can improve the complexion. From protecting against the appearance of UVB damage to keeping the skin microbiome feeling balanced and supported, it’s an ingredient that can make a big difference to the skin.
If you’d like to add this superfruit to your skincare routine, you’ll find it in the Venofye Beehive HydraLift Mask. This mask contains a cocktail of superfruits. It brings pomegranate together with the likes of acai berry, bilberry, mangosteen, goji berry, and more. Use it at night and its leave-on formula will enable those powerful antioxidants to saturate your skin while you sleep.
