You must have seen countless videos of skin experts passionately recommending certain skincare products or talking about ingredients mentioned in skincare products. If you have often found yourself getting confused with strange ingredient names or pausing the video wondering what is the fuss all about, then you are not alone!
Ingredients create all the difference, making winter creams truly effective and efficient to combat winter dryness and help maintain glowing skin that you just cannot get enough of!
Here is the list of skin ingredients that you should look for in winter creams and gels so that your skin stays hydrated, well-nourished, and moisturised throughout the chilling winter day.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most powerful, naturally occurring molecules found in the human body. As a humectant in nature, this ingredient has the ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it an excellent hydrating agent to prevent moisture loss. Due to its lightweight and quick-absorbing consistency, this ingredient works absolutely well with most Indian skin types such as dry, oily, and combination skin types. In addition to this, Hyaluronic Acid can easily be combined with most skincare ingredients to help enhance the efficacy and usability of the product.
Choosing winter cream enriched with Hyaluronic Acid like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Night Gel offers you overnight deep hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, and plumps your skin for up to 72 hours after a single application. Use it daily to get that soft, supple, and healthy glow every time you wake up in the morning.
Glycerin
Often overshadowed by popular skincare ingredients, Glycerin is a game-changing skincare ingredient that should definitely be a part of your winter skincare routine. As a humectant in nature, Glycerin helps draw in moisture and water from the environment and hold it for a long time, preventing your skin from drying effects of cold winds and indoor heating. This ingredient also plays a significant role in repairing the natural barrier of your skin.
This gentle and non-irritant nourishing skin ingredient works best with Vitamin E in offering intense hydration and nourishment to your skin. This winter season, use POND'S Fresh Glow Light Moisturiser With Vitamin E to enjoy 24 hours of hydration that leaves no greasy residue and is suitable for all skin types. Use it daily twice to keep skin concerns like dryness, flaky skin, and more at bay.
Vitamin E
The winter season is not just about dryness; it is also the time when your skin needs a boost of antioxidants to fight oxidative stress and environmental stressors. This is where nourishing and replenishing skin ingredients like Vitamin E get into the picture. Vitamin E alone has the ability to strengthen the skin barrier, prevent moisture loss, and combat free radicals when used in the form of a moisturising cream.
When combined with Vitamin C and Vitamin A in the form of a cream, this ingredient works as a skin brightening and nourishing product which is suitable for every skin type and everyday use. If you are looking to incorporate Vitamins into your everyday skincare routine, POND'S Bright Beauty 1% VIT C+E+A Gel Crème is an excellent go-to option.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide has rightfully earned its place as a powerful skincare ingredient with a host of skin-beneficial properties to offer. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a go-to ingredient for addressing a wide range of skin concerns. Not only that, Niacinamide is also a popular choice among skin specialists due to its lightweight and quick-absorbing properties and its ability to be easily combined with most active ingredients.
When combined with Glutathione Precursor, Niacinamide works flawlessly well in fighting pigmentation, and dark spots, and brightening your skin after every use. Meet POND'S Bright Beauty Gel Crème With Glutaboost Niacinamide, a power-packed gel crème formula that reduces dark spots, brightens your skin, and offers deep moisturisation after every use.
However, if you are looking for a daytime moisturiser that brightens and protects your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays, opt for POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Spot Serum Cream With Niacinamide and SPF PA++ in your daytime skincare routine.
L-Glutamic Acid
A naturally occurring amino acid, L-Glutamic Acid aids in hydrating and conditioning the skin. This ingredient can be an excellent addition to your winter skincare routine as it helps maintain the overall health and hydration levels of your skin. Choosing a moisturiser infused with the goodness of L-Glutamic Acid helps in retaining moisture, strengthens the skin barrier, and balances the pH levels of your skin.
Conclusion
These were some of the most powerful, nourishing, and intensely hydrating skincare ingredients that you must look for while selecting a moisturiser for your skin type and winter needs. Hopefully, this article helped you understand the nature and purpose of all these ingredients and why they are the popular choices in the skincare industry.
So, revamp your skincare routine with POND'S Hydrating Moisturisers and don't let the winter chills stop your skin from glowing and radiating every day, throughout the season.
