"If you could change one thing about your skin, what would it be"?
....................................
Now you need to know what skincare ingredient will be effective in adressing those concerns.
Are the products you are using contain the recommended concentrations of active ingredients? or contain ingredients that actually do what they say their going to do?

They may contain the ingredient that you are looking for, however the concentration may not be high enough for you to see a continued difference with your skin.
(You wouldn't take baby aspirin for a migraine would you?)
Have you ever purchased a skincare product that worked for a few weeks, then you realize it stops working? The reason is because the concentration of the active ingredient is not high enough to continue changing your skin for the better, much less correct and prevent.

Cosmetic Ingredient List
Alpha-Hydroxy Acid: (Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid):
Widely used for therapy of photodamaged skin, and also have been reported to normalize hyperkeratinization (over-thickened skin). A vast amount of research has substantially described how the aging process affects the skin and has demonstrated that many of the unwanted changes can be improved by topical application.
Benzoyl Peroxide:
Considered the most effective over-the-counter choice for a topical antibacterial agent in the treatment of blemishes. Benzoyl peroxide’s attributes is its ability to penetrate into the hair follicle to reach the bacteria that cause the problem, and then kill them—with a low risk of irritation. Current research shows benzoyl peroxide is more effective than some other prescription treatments for acne, such as oral antibiotics or topical antibiotics
Beta Hydroxy Acid: (Salicylic Acid)
For decades dermatologists have been prescribing salicylic acid as an exceedingly effective keratolytic (exfoliant), but it also is an anti-irritant This is because salicylic acid is a derivative of aspirin (both are salicylates—aspirin’s technical name is acetylsalicylic acid), and so it also functions as an anti-inflammatory
Coenzyme Q-10:
Also known as ubiquinone, it is a vitamin-like substance present in all human cells and responsible for cell protection and production of the body’s energy.
Collagen:
Collagen in cosmetics, regardless of the source, has never been shown to have a direct effect on producing or building collagen in skin.
Copper Peptides:
Copper is an important trace element for human nutrition. The body needs copper to absorb and utilize iron. Research shows that copper in skincare products is effective for wound healing and as an antioxidant
DHEA:
Topically, it is possible that DHEA can increase collagen production and prevent collagen destruction
DMAE:
As an oral supplement it is popularly known for improving mental alertness, much like Ginkgo biloba and coenzyme Q10. It is possible that DMAE can help protect the cell membrane, and keeping cells intact can have benefit
Hyaluronic Acid:
Component of skin tissue that is used in skin-care products as a good water-binding agent. Great ingredient to look for in a moisturizer.
Hydroquinone:
Strong inhibitor of melanin production that has long been established as the most effective ingredient for reducing and potentially eliminating melasma, a condiditon that causes the skin to darken in areas.
Kojic Acid:
There is definitely convincing research showing that kojic acid is effective for inhibiting melanin production. However, Kojic acid is an extremely unstable ingredient in cosmetic formulations. Upon exposure to air or sunlight it turns a strange shade of brown and loses its efficacy.
Liposomes:
Capable of holding other ingredients and releasing them after the liposome is absorbed into the skin. Liposomes are microscopic lipid (fat) sacs that are widely used as a way to deliver other ingredients into skin
Retinol (a form of Vitamin A):
A MUST for skin rejuvenation! Retinol is the name for the entire vitamin A molecule. Retinol has value for skin on several fronts: it is a cell-communicating ingredient and antioxidant. Skin cells have a receptor site that is very accepting of retinoic acid, which is a component of retinol.
Retinol helps skin cells create better, healthier skin cells and increase the amount of skin-support substances.
Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A derivative):
Form of vitamin A. It is a combination of retinol (pure vitamin A) and palmitic acid. There is research showing it to be effective as an antioxidant and skin-cell regulator.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid):
Considered a valuable antioxidant and protectant against photodamage that is created by sunlight in both the UVB and UVA bands…. Although oral supplementation may also be useful, topical preparations are able to deliver a higher dosage to the needed area. Topical vitamin C protects against [free-radical damage] caused by sunlight, thereby preventing photodamage to the skin. It becomes an integral part of the skin and remains unaffected by bathing, exercise, clothing, or makeup.
Topical vitamin C is an important adjunct to the use of sunscreens, an adjunctive treatment to lessen erythema [redness] in skin resurfacing, a helpful addition to Retin-A in the treatment of fine wrinkles.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
Considered an antioxidant superstar. Vitamin E is the major naturally occurring lipid-soluble … antioxidant protecting skin from the adverse effects of oxidative stress including photoaging [sun damage]. Many studies document that vitamin E occupies a central position as a highly efficient antioxidant, thereby providing possibilities to decrease the frequency and severity of pathological events in the skin.
