Nowadays there are many popular skincare ingredients that each have their own effect on the skin. Some of these have been known for years as gems in skin care products, but more and more new ingredients are being added to the list. However, we can tell you that not every ingredient is worth it and sometimes there is more hype than it actually benefits your skin. How do you know which ingredients in skin care products suit your skin? Here's a list of what they do!
AHA's
Alpha Hydroxy Acids, also known as AHAs, are being used more and more since multiple studies have shown their benefits to the skin. Some of the amazing benefits it has to offer are:
- Fighting dry skin
- Contributing to smooth, shiny skin texture
- Anti-aging
- Fighting blemishes
- Reducing sun damage
The AHAs found in our products are citric acid, lactic acid and glycolic acid. The reason these acids can do their job so well is because they penetrate the top layer of the skin, down to the deeper layers of the skin and that is often where the problems arise. So you understand that AHAs could not be missed in Clay And Glow products. It is clear that our Triple AHA Straw-Jelly Facial Cleanser contains AHAs, but we also have more products containing these top ingredients, find them here!

SPF
More than 80% of skin aging is caused by sun damage, so it is very important to protect your skin at an early stage. In addition to preventing sun damage, SPF is also beneficial for repairing already damaged skin. It helps with:
- Protecting against free radicals (such as blue light)
- Regulating discoloration
- Renewing the skin
However, prevention is better than cure, so we never go a day without our Protecting Face Sunscreen SPF30.
VITAMIN C
Vitamin C can do a lot for your skin. This is a substance that your body does not make itself. That's why it's important that you get this through food, and of course, your skin care products. It is crucial for:
- Regulating hyperpigmentation
- Stimulating collagen production

- Hydrating the skin
In addition, vitamin C is safe to use for most skin types. Taking all this into consideration, of course, we couldn't omit this ingredient from our skin care products. Here you will find all products that contain vitamin C.
VITAMIN E
Although many people think that vitamin E consists of a single compound, it is actually made up of eight fat-soluble compounds with powerful antioxidant properties. Together they serve many purposes for the skin. They provide protection, but also nourish the skin. This is useful for:
- Antioxidizing the skin
- Hydrating the skin
- Smooth texture
- Strengthening the skin barrier
In addition, it ensures that other active substances can penetrate the skin better. Concluding, this is a power ingredient in skincare. Check out these products for vitamin E rich skin care.

Of course there are more key ingredients that the eight we just told you about. However, these are the faves that could not be missed in our skin care routine. Have you already experienced them working wonders on you skin?
