In every skincare product we use, we have active ingredients and what I call “fluff” ingredients. Fluff ingredients are the hocus pocus plants and flowers that doesn’t add much value to a skincare product other than boosting an ingredients list and making it smell better. What actually works on our skin – works FOR our skin – are the active ingredients. These are the stuff that actually makes a difference on our skin.

With technology comes new discoveries on the next best thing for our skin. Here are 6 oldies but goodies:
