Fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin are some of the obvious signs hinting at skin aging. To tackle or prevent aging, you’ll need to look for options with niacinamide (Vitamin B3) or hyaluronic acid, which help boost cell turnover, promote collagen production, retain moisture, and repair skin tissue. Additionally, snail mucin and pearl are known to fade dark spots and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Rice seed is also an excellent ingredient when it comes to firmness and elasticity.
