The Most Effective Components for Skin Care Named

American dermatologists have for the first time compiled a list of cosmetic ingredients that actually help with the seven most common skin problems - from acne to wrinkles. The study is published in the prestigious Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology and is based on the expert consensus method, which involved dozens of leading specialists in skin diseases.

The long-awaited list includes only those components that received high ratings (7-9 points out of 9) from the majority of experts. The absolute leader of the rating was the mineral sunscreen filter - it is strongly recommended for dryness, redness, and signs of photoaging. Retinoids - vitamin A derivatives - firmly secured the top positions. These powerful compounds have demonstrated high effectiveness against acne, pigmentation spots, wrinkles, oily skin, and enlarged pores.

The study becomes particularly relevant during the summer period, when consumers are most susceptible to aggressive marketing and unverified recommendations from social media. The authors of the scientific work especially emphasize: many modern products contain dozens of active substances, but this does not make them more effective at all. Moreover, excessive care can seriously irritate the skin and significantly worsen its condition. According to Professor Murad Alam, the effectiveness of care is determined not by the number of products used, but by the precise selection of truly working active ingredients.
