There are seemingly endless amounts of facial serums on the market right now — so how can you possibly choose which ones to incorporate into your daily skincare routine? When searching for the best face serums, you should find a product with ingredients that will benefit your skin type.
If you aren’t very familiar with skin types or can’t identify which one you have, try our skin care quiz to gain a better understanding of yourself. You won’t be able to curate a proper skincare routine without knowing your skin type! Many skincare products are meant specifically for sensitive skin or dry skin. At Aster Raine, we’re dedicated to offering products that all skin types will love.
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind facial serum that includes beneficial ingredients that will be useful for all skin types, look no further than our Tripeptide Reverse Serum! This serum reverses signs of aging, lightens dark spots, and restores the skin. Here’s everything to know about our Tripeptide Reverse Serum:
What is a Tripeptide?
If you’re not a chemist, chances are you won’t be very familiar with the concept of a tripeptide. You might as well be a chemist if you remember this word from high school science class! Essentially, a tripeptide is a peptide that comes from three amino acids joined by two or three peptide bonds.
Why does this serum work wonders on the skin? It is a combination of CoQ10, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. Please don’t worry if these ingredients look like a foreign language to you! The Aster Raine team is fully dedicated to familiarizing you with all things skincare on our blog. Let’s get into these ingredients — what they are, what they do, and why we inserted them into our daily facial serum:
What Are the Ingredients?
Let’s start with the three main ingredients we’ve just mentioned! Hyaluronic acid (HA) ) is a naturally-occurring substance found in the body. When applied to the face, HA will deeply hydrate the skin’s outer layers and promote the growth of collagen (which makes your face appear plumper).
Studies have found that CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10) improves the skin by providing antioxidative effects. In fact, our bodies rely on CoQ10 to produce energy! It’s deemed a coenzyme because it needs other enzymes to function, despite it being found in all our cells. CoQ10 helps protect the skin against oxidative stress, reduces wrinkles, and energizes your skin cells.
You’ve likely noticed that our Tripeptide Reverse Serum is yellow; the serum’s yellow appearance comes from CoQ10!
When you use a product that contains CoQ10 on your skin, it’s like giving your face a slight pick-me-up! You can envision CoQ10 as your favorite coffee from your local coffee shop. Since you need something else to activate the CoQ10 — you can think of it being paired with a barista. You can’t get your favorite coffee without collaborating with the barista first!
Niacinamide is a complicated word, but the benefits aren’t complicated at all. This form of vitamin B helps build keratin to make your skin stronger and healthier. It helps the skin retain moisture, reduces discoloration, boosts collagen production, and prevents signs of premature aging.
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rachel Nazarian says, “When used topically, niacinamide can improve skin hydration by preventing evaporation of moisture from the skin into the environment. It’s also a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient, so it’s great for calming irritated skin but also good for people with sensitive skin.”
We’ve blended the perfect amount of CoQ10, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to create an effective facial serum for all skin types. The benefits don’t stop there — we’ve thoughtfully blended a few other science-backed ingredients into this serum.
The Ingredients Doesn’t Stop There
While our Tripeptide Reverse Serum could have been great without additional ingredients, we wanted it to really pack a punch. We also infused matrixyl 3000, ceramide, evening primrose, and vitamin C into the serum!
Matrixyl 3000 is a blend of two peptides that encourage the skin to restore and repair itself — promoting healthy and youthful skin. Ceramides are essential lipids that make up between 30-40% of the skin’s outer layer. These lipids improve the skin barrier, hold hydration into the skin, and keep the skin feeling healthy. Want to know the best part?
Ceramides instantly begin to improve your skin!
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Morgan Rabach says, “This is one of the few times when you can see a product start to work immediately since hydration begins right after application.” That’s right! Our Tripeptide Reverse Serum immediately begins to improve your skin’s texture and overall appearance. Remember those last few years of aging, sun exposure, and other external factors? It’ll be almost as if they never happened.
The Benefits
If you’re looking for the best dark spot corrector in 2022, look no further than our Tripeptide Reverse Cream. Our cruelty-free and vegan formula will instantly begin to change your skin for the better. Not only will you notice a difference in your complexion, but you’ll start to feel it too. The serum will reduce signs of aging, brighten the skin, smoothen the texture, and provide a protective barrier for the skin.
How Often Do I Use It?
You should follow a few simple yet effective steps when doing your daily skincare routine. Experts recommend cleansing your face, using a toner, applying a serum, and then completing the routine with a moisturizer. Please don’t forget to add sunscreen at the very end if you’re doing a morning skincare routine!
For the best results, we recommend using the Tripeptide Reverse Serum twice per day. It’s most effective when paired with our Rejuvenate Cream (which contains many of the same ingredients).
