Skincare: here are the 10 most searched ingredients on Google
Our skin has needs and sometimes the Internet can be a great tool to find out what would be good for it. Hyaluronic acid, retinol, or vitamin C… These ingredients are highly sought after on the web.
What a fascinating world the world of skincare is. Creams, serums, thermal waters, or even booster… All these cosmetic products with ever more unpronounceable names and components exalt us. Why? Because - most of the time - it works. In fact, in order to slow down skin aging, to give the skin a long-term boost or to deflate our bags under the eyes, there are products that can help us greatly. We hear a lot about these famous ingredients in TV ads or in our favorite fashion magazines. So on the internet, certain keywords are particularly sought after to know precisely their usefulness. The beauty giant Cult Beauty has unveiled the 10 most sought-after ingredients since the start of 2020. We take stock here.
1-VITAMIN C
Yes, it is found in our oranges and in our fruit juices, but our skin is hungry for this Swiss Army knife ingredient in skincare. An antioxidant, complexion booster, and natural self-tanner, vitamin C also helps cell renewal and collagen production. In short, it is a must-have, and Internet users know it well. It can be found in Paula’s Choice C15 Super Booster, C25 Vitamin C Booster by Hylamide or Vitamin C Radiance Serum by Honest Beauty.
2-RETINOL
It is also considered a miracle ingredient in cosmetics. First of all, retinol is a great ally in the face of fine lines and wrinkles. It tightens, reduces acne, and shrinks pores. Retinol stimulates cell renewal, which is to say that it is a molecule that we love. Be careful though, as some skin types may not tolerate retinol. Tests are then carried out by gradually increasing the level of retinol in the product.
Retinol can be found in Tipology's Serum Wrinkles & Fine Lines Retinol 0.3% from Tipology, Skinceuticals Retinol 0.3 or Poppy Austin's Retinol Day and Night Cream.
3-CASTOR OIL
Who hasn't wanted to try castor oil to make their hair grow faster or to fill in depleted hair density? It is a natural product so we have known its effectiveness for years and which never lets us down. Castor oil is rich in fatty acids and vitamin E and is known to eliminate inflammation, moisturize and promote hair growth, of course.
It can be found in Aromachologie Repairing Oil from L'Occitane or Luscious Lash Oil from BBB London for lash growth.
4-HYALURONIC ACID
Star of the famous molecules in skincare, hyaluronic acid is a little gem of hydration and anti-aging. Indeed, it is able to contain 1000 times its own weight in moisture. It will thus have a plumping and so hydrating action. Finding hyaluronic acid in cosmetic products is becoming more and more frequent as its effectiveness is impressive.
5-THE SQUALANE
You have surely heard of it before. Squalane is taking pride of place in the world of beauty. This ingredient of natural origin is present in many products and especially in cleansers. Its more? It helps the skin to retain its water. Be careful, however, because not all skin types tolerate squalane. It can be tested in The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser and Makeup Remover, Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Firming Serum, or Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream.
6-SALICYLIC ACID
Do you have acne-prone skin? Bingo, you have surely found a miracle product that will help your skin fight these imperfections. Its action is bluffing: it penetrates the pores and exfoliates the skin, dissolves dead cells clogging the pores, and eliminates blackheads. Obviously, we do not forget to hydrate WELL after such stripping.
You can try Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Fluid, Kate Sommerville's Eradikate®, or Clinique's Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Gel.
7-BENZOYL PEROXIDE
Among the powerful ingredients that can treat the skin against (large) imperfections, we find benzoyl peroxide. No surprise to see it among the most searched molecules on Google, then. It kills the bacteria on the skin that cause acne. Benzoyl peroxide is not to be taken lightly and it is best to seek professional advice before using it.
It is found in the Curaspot 5% rinse gel.
8-HAMAMELIS
Witch hazel is a plant extract that aims to tighten the pores of the skin and effectively reduce redness thanks to its purifying properties. However, it may have a tendency to dry out the skin. If the latter reacts badly to the product, especially in the long term, it is better to stop using it.
To be found in witch hazel floral water from Warm or in Murad anti-redness tonic.
9-NIACINAMIDE
Like vitamin C, niacinamide is also a beautiful Swiss knife. Its benefits are countless: tightened pores, hydration, protection, and improvement of hyperpigmentation of the skin. Niacinamide balances the skin to be perfectly healthy.
It is an ingredient found in The Ordinary 100% Niacinamide powder or in Charlotte Tilbury's Crystal Elixir serum.
10-CERAMICS
Last ingredient in the list of the most googled: ceramides. These molecules help to strengthen the skin barrier which protects in particular against external aggressions. The ceramides will also smooth and plump the skin.
Ceramides are present in Sunday Riley's Ice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream or in CeraVe Moisturizing Face Cream.
