Best Anti-Aging Skincare Ingredients to Add to Your Skincare Routine (Wrinkles, Dark Spots, & More)

My patients are constantly asking me for skincare products and ingredient recommendations to help with the signs of aging (wrinkles, dark spots, collagen loss, etc). So I put together this video to share the best anti-aging skincare ingredients to look like retinoids, peptides, exfoliants, and more. I also share my favorite skincare products to find these ingredients in!

Great video 🙂 would you be able to do a video showing how to incorporate all of these into your routine? For example, which products should not be used together, which for am and which for pm, and what order to apply for maximum results? Thank you!

Great video, it's always nice to have a professional confirm you're on the right path. Would you by chance be able to make a video that talks about lasers or procedures that might be the next step if your dark spots aren't fading as much as you'd want with just tropicals?

Always full of knowledge :) Could you please introduce some cheaper choices with anti - aging ingredients?

Love to have some affordable products on the list here and there😅
Loved the video💚

This video was wonderfully executed Dr. Ellis. The educational line up was clear, concise, and easy to follow. I also enjoyed each product rundown with its power house ingredients. Thank you again!

I love the Avene RetinAL. It caused my skin to wake up after using for only two months. This is after years of using Retinol. I also use in the winter LaRoche Cicaplast cream at night to seal everything in. I do like one of the Paula’s Choice 50 sunscreen. It seems to go on white but sinks in and is a light lotion. Thank you for this video.

About PHAs, are they good for skin with roseacea? Can they be incorporated in the same routine with Azelaic acid ( using Fineacea)? How many times per week?

Excellent video, Dr. Ellis! Just what I was looking for.
I am in my 80's and I know that no matter what products I use I will never look like I am in my 20's but I really want to have my skin like the best 80 year old skin. LOL

I’m in my 30s and starting to look at incorporating anti-aging ingredients, but I also have acne. Right now I use vitamin C and sunscreen in the AM, and then benzoyl peroxide wash and adapalene at night.

I'm 23 and started using Retinol last year and moved my way up to Differin a few months ago. It has been really effective for my hormonal acne and I've noticed my skin looking more glowy and even! That, along with sunscreen every day has totally transformed my skin. Thanks for your recs, Dr. Ellis!

I need to add an exfoliant so I am glad that you dove deeper into this topic as I was confused whether to choose glycolic, lactic or mandelic acid and my next addition is gonna be a peptides serum.

[drpeggyhudson]

I started using the Skin Medica TNS Advanced+ Serum this past summer. Love it!!! ♥️ I use Altreno at night & Skinceuticals C E Ferulic in the morning. Great video, Dr. Sam!

FINALLY, I understand free radicals now! That was such a quick and simple explanation. So far, I only ever got confused when someone tried to explain it.

[kristyadler]

Can you do a video on anti-aging neck creams and treatments? 🙏🏻

[devynryan]

Amazing video. I absolutely love how organized it is and the visual text boxes are great for understanding the info. Keep it up!!

I’m so happy I started on a good skin care regimen, but a little late to the game when I did in my late 40s, I’m now 59. My go-to’s are tretinoin and I’ve worked up to the 1%, Maelove’s the glow maker for the vitamin C, Hylamide’s niacinamide, but I believe Deciem is doing away with the Hylamide line. I do love the ordinary AHA/BHA exfoliant acids. I have a little routine that I do every week and I know my dermatologist had told me several years back to only do the Tretinoin twice a week due to the black box warning’s.

Hello Doctor. Thank you for all the content you create for us. I have just one question, what are the best body retinol creams/lotions that you recommend. I have started seeing sign of aging in my body and apply sunscreen but I would like to know if there are any useful body retinols? Thank you.

[fosterk]

So helpful with the categories and breaking everything down. I also appreciated the different options/price points! Thanks for providing great info that is trustworthy and not overwhelming.

I'm 67 and use Differin (along with other actives) for anti-aging. My skin looks fabulous.

I never liked the word "anti-aging" I'm not against aging, I know I'm gonna age. I like the term "pro-health" when you look healthy, you look younger <3
