With age, the skin loses its firmness, elasticity, and hydration. These changes result in the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and that famous "wrinkled skin", especially on the face, neck, or around the eyes. This phenomenon is not only linked to natural aging: it can also result from unprotected sun exposure, skin dehydration, oxidative stress, or an unsuitable skincare routine.

 

Fortunately, certain cosmetic ingredients can prevent or reduce this effect of wrinkled skin, by stimulating skin regeneration, strengthening the hydrolipidic barrier, and improving skin texture.

 

Focus on 7 active ingredients to prioritize in your facial care if you want to fight against this loss of firmness and smooth your skin texture!

summary of the article

1. Hyaluronic acid: to plump up wrinkled skin

It is one of the best-known ingredients, and for good reason: the hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in our skin, capable of retaining up to 1000 times its weight in water. With age, its production decreases, contributing to skin sagging and to the wrinkled appearance of the skin.

 

In facial care, hyaluronic acid exists in several forms, depending on its molecular weight. High molecular weights hydrate the skin surface while smaller molecules penetrate deeply and plump the dermis. A cream or serum based on hyaluronic acid used regularly restores skin density and visibly improves its elasticity.

2. Peptides: to stimulate collagen

Peptides are small chains of amino acids that play a key role in cellular communication. Some families of peptides, such as oligopeptides or signal peptides, send messages to skin cells to produce more collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

 

Result? firmer skin, smoother, less wrinkled. Facial care products based on peptides are especially recommended from age 40, when signs of aging become more visible. In synergy with other actives like niacinamide or vitamin C, peptides strengthen the skin structure and offer a true tightening effect.

3. Vitamin C: for brighter and firmer skin

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a powerful antioxidant that acts against free radicals responsible for premature aging. It also stimulates collagen synthesis, improves skin firmness, and revives complexion radiance.

 

It is ideal for treating wrinkled skin that also appears dull, with spots or fine lines. Vitamin C serums are particularly effective when used in the morning, under a moisturizer and sun protection.

4. Plant-based squalane

Plant-based squalane is a precious ingredient to prevent the appearance of wrinkled skin, especially in mature or dehydrated skin. Derived from plant sources like olive or sugarcane, squalane is a stable form of squalene, a lipid naturally present in human sebum. In cosmetics, it acts as an excellent emollient, mimicking the structure of the skin’s hydrolipidic film.

 

Thanks to its light and non-greasy texture, it penetrates easily without clogging pores. Its main role: intensely nourish the skin, strengthen the skin barrier, and prevent water loss, which often causes the wrinkled or creased appearance. By protecting the skin from external aggressions and maintaining good hydration, plant-based squalane helps smooth fine lines, improve skin suppleness, and restore a softer, plumper texture.

 

Integrated into a daily routine, it offers immediate comfort and a true plumping effect on skin marked by time or climatic variations.

5. Prunus armeniaca

Prunus armeniaca, or apricot kernel oil, is a natural ally to prevent the wrinkled skin effect. Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A and E, this vegetable oil intensely nourishes the skin while restoring suppleness and radiance. It strengthens the skin barrier, helps maintain hydration, and protects against external aggressions responsible for premature aging.

 

Its light texture penetrates quickly without leaving a greasy film, making it an excellent daily care for dry or mature skin. When applied regularly, it helps smooth fine lines and reduce the wrinkled appearance of the skin. It is a gentle and revitalizing ingredient, perfectly suited for natural anti-aging care.

6. Allantoin

Allantoin is a soothing and regenerating active ingredient particularly useful to prevent the appearance of wrinkled skin, especially when linked to dryness, irritation, or a weakened skin barrier.

 

Naturally present in some plants like comfrey, or obtained by gentle synthesis, allantoin promotes cell renewal, softens the skin, and helps repair damaged tissues.

 

Well-hydrated, supple, and smooth skin is less prone to folds, fine lines, and the creased effect. Allantoin is also very well tolerated, even by sensitive or flaky skin, making it an ideal ingredient in creams or serums for delicate and marked areas of the face, such as the contour of the mouth or eyes. By enhancing softness, suppleness, and skin resilience, it helps maintain a smooth and comfortable appearance, far from the notorious “wrinkled skin” effect.

7. Niacinamide

Niacinamide, or vitamin B3, is a multifunctional active that acts on many fronts: anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and moisturizing. It helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve skin elasticity, smooth wrinkles, and reduce uneven skin tone.

 

It is a well-tolerated ingredient suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive. Integrated into a skincare routine, niacinamide optimizes the effects of other actives while making the skin visibly firmer and more radiant.
