When it comes to skincare, each of us have varied skin types, tones, textures, issues and goals. Where some prefer a multi-step routine, some swear by a cleanser-toner-moisturiser regime. Some wax eloquent about a botanically-forward philosophy; some have a vigilant eye for science-backed glow-givers. Regardless of where on the spectrum you fall, the holy grail for a soft, supple visage is the right ingredient in your favourite formulations. But whittling down the ever-expanding ingredient jargon and plethora of products can be a confusing endeavour. And then, of course, different skin concerns warrant different ingredients. While you might be acquainted with the lauded classics, there are some strange-yet-superb additives gaining traction, and with good reason.
