How to choose the right anti-aging serum?

Hyaluronic acid serum, collagen serum... Discover our selection of effective active ingredients to fight the signs of aging.

As skin ages, its natural mechanisms are altered, and it loses its natural ability to regenerate and protect itself. The result: skin becomes dehydrated and less plump, and wrinkles deepen.

From age 25, the skin's production of collagen and hyaluronic acid decreases.

It is therefore essential to apply an anti-aging serum that will strengthen the skin barrier and boost the natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

What active ingredients should you prioritize? What are their properties for the skin? Which facial serum should you choose?

Hyaluronic acid

Naturally present in the skin, hyaluronic acid is the essential active ingredient to prioritize in your serum.

Capable of retaining up to 1000 times its weight in water, it is renowned for its powerful moisturizing properties and its ability to naturally boost collagen production.

Collagen

Collagen is the other star of anti-aging molecules. Collagen is the main protein present in the skin, responsible for its firmness and elasticity. It is therefore a major active ingredient in the fight against skin aging.

In cosmetics, it is usually found in the form of animal or synthetic collagen.

> BcomBIO innovates by incorporating Plant-based Collagen derived from Acacia into its Ultra-Concentrated Active Serum.

Acacia collagen has many similarities with human collagen. It supports the proper functioning of plant cells, provides hydration, and is involved in regeneration mechanisms.

Like human collagen, it has a high molecular weight and a high content of hydroxyproline, an essential amino acid in the skin repair process.

Thus, it has a perfect affinity with the epidermis and is better assimilated by the skin. Its effectiveness on wrinkles, skin firmness, and elasticity is clinically proven.

Panthenol or provitamin B5

Over time, the skin's barrier function weakens. The skin becomes drier and more sensitive to external aggressions. A reference active ingredient in dermatology, panthenol is renowned for its moisturizing and soothing properties. Indeed, it reduces water loss and restores the skin's protective barrier.

Numerous dermatological studies have shown that panthenol also helps the skin repair itself. Of synthetic origin, this active ingredient with many properties is prohibited in organic cosmetics.

> BcomBIO has developed a complex of plant-based active ingredients with properties similar to panthenol. This complex, called Plant Panthenol, is exclusively incorporated into the certified organic Ultra-Concentrated Active Serum.

How to choose your hyaluronic acid serum?

There are different types of hyaluronic acid, and their benefits vary depending on their weight.

Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid is the one that will penetrate deepest into the different skin layers of the epidermis. It will plump, smooth wrinkles, and fight against skin sagging.

It is preferable to choose the pure form of hyaluronic acid, which will be more effective than a solution or a gel. You should also pay attention to the incorporation percentage.

> The BcomBIO Ultra-Concentrated Active Serum contains 3% pure hyaluronic acids. It contains a trio of low molecular weight hyaluronic acids.
