The Best Anti-Ageing Skincare Ingredients for Women Over 45
After 45, your skin’s needs change dramatically. As oestrogen levels decline and cellular turnover slows, choosing the right active ingredients becomes crucial for maintaining vibrant, healthy skin. Let’s explore the most effective ingredients that can help you achieve remarkable results, with insights into how they work and why they’re essential for mature skin.
Understanding Your Skin’s Changing Needs
The Science of Mature Skin
After 45, your skin experiences significant changes that require a more targeted approach. Collagen production decreases by about 1% yearly, cell turnover slows dramatically, and the skin’s ability to retain moisture diminishes. These changes mean your skincare ingredients must work harder and smarter to maintain your skin’s health and radiance.
Essential Active Ingredients for Mature Skin
Peptides: The Communication Masters
Peptides are one of the powerhouse ingredients in Genova Skincare’s Firming Cream. These remarkable molecules act as messengers, signalling your skin to boost collagen production and repair damage. Our proprietary peptide complex explicitly targets the needs of mature skin, helping to improve firmness and reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles.
Niacinamide: The Multi-Tasking Marvel
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is particularly beneficial for mature skin because it:
- Strengthens the skin barrier
- Improves uneven skin tone
- Reduces inflammation
- It helps retain skin moisture
- Minimises the appearance of enlarged pores
Hyaluronic Acid: Advanced Hydration
Hyaluronic acid molecules penetrate different skin layers for comprehensive hydration. This advanced active ingredient helps plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines while providing lasting moisture throughout the day.
Cutting-Edge Ingredients in Modern Skincare
Growth Factors
Growth factors present in Genova’s Firming Cream help stimulate collagen production and cellular repair, making them essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity after 45.
Ceramides
These lipid molecules are crucial for maintaining skin barrier function. Ceramides mirror your skin’s natural composition, helping to:
- Lock in moisture
- Protect against environmental damage
- Strengthen the skin barrier
- Reduce sensitivity
Antioxidants for Skin Protection
Vitamin C: Essential Protection
Vitamin C, with supporting antioxidants, can:
- Fight free radical damage
- Brighten skin tone
- Support collagen production
- Reduce hyperpigmentation
Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid
These powerful antioxidants work synergistically in our formulations, enhancing the effectiveness of other active ingredients while providing additional protection against environmental damage.
