The trending skincare ingredients of 2020

by Arun Shirishkar

When it comes to skincare, there are always a handful of ingredients that seem to rise to prominence each year. These ingredients find their way in most formulations and new products are flooded in the market with them. The Google team took a deep dive into the most talked about skincare ingredients of 2020 and discovered the ingredients as below:

Retinol
Retinol describes over-the-counter vitamin A derivatives. The exfoliant is universally loved for its ability to smooth skin texture, reduce wrinkles and scars, and clear skin. The powerhouse ingredient is able to work all of this magic on your skin due to its anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-microbial properties, and anti-acne properties.

Hyaluronic Acid
The Hyaluronic acid has supreme moisturizing properties. The hydrator helps replenish and hold cell moisture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and speeds up wound healing.

Micellar Water
This skin tonic performs a trio of duties as it acts as a makeup remover, cleanser, and toner. Micellar water has been a central ingredient in many skincare product rollouts in 2020.

Lactic Acid
Lactic acid is an exfoliating acid derived from sour milk. It kills acne-causing bacteria, diminishes wrinkles, increases cell turnover, and helps your skin retain moisture. Many brands include this ingredient in their skincare formulas because of how it works overtime to treat your skin.

Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid has been dubbed the magic eraser for blackheads. When added to your skincare routine, the exfoliating ingredient minimizes pore size, regulates oil production, and brightens your complexion.

CBD Oil (Cannabidiol)
CBD oil may help reduce inflammation associated with certain inflammatory skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, and eczema as cannabis has anti-inflammatory properties.

Tea Tree Oil
Acne has been one of the leading problems of 2020, for those who naturally have it and those who got it by wearing masks or maskne. Tea tree oil has universally found its way in the skin care regime of many for the acne concern and has been trending this year.

Vitamin C
Filled with skin benefitting antioxidants, vitamin C can help neutralize free radical damage to the skin’s surface. The market is flooded with products with Vitamin C as the core ingredient and has shown many benefits for those skincare junkies.
