Hotter weather and increased exposure to sun, heat, and humidity can lead to buildup on the skin, dullness, and even pesky breakouts. Incorporating clarifying and brightening ingredients into your routine can help keep skin fresh, balanced, and radiant all season long. “Key ingredients like salicylic acid, papain extract, niacinamide, and ultra-fine rice powder are perfect additions to any summer skincare routine to achieve the glow we all long for,” explains Vitaderm’s marketing manager Ruan Winter.
Here’s why these powerful ingredients deserve a spot in your skincare lineup this season:
The pore-purifying powerhouse, salicylic acid
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its deep-cleaning abilities, perfect for summer when skin is more prone to oil buildup and breakouts. This oil-soluble ingredient penetrates pores to dissolve excess sebum, clearing out debris and reducing the chances of blemishes. It also gently exfoliates the skin’s surface, helping to smooth texture and improve clarity.
Nature’s gentle exfoliator, papain extract
Papain extract, derived from papaya, is a natural enzyme that provides gentle exfoliation without the harshness that some scrubs can bring. Known for its brightening and softening properties, papain helps slough away dead skin cells on the surface, revealing a smoother, more even-toned complexion beneath. This botanical enzyme is particularly beneficial for those who prefer a gentler exfoliation process, as it works without irritating.
The brightening all-rounder, niacinamide
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a multitasking ingredient that strengthens the skin barrier, improves texture, and enhances overall skin radiance. This powerful antioxidant is ideal for summer as it helps manage excess oil, reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, and even out skin tone. Additionally, niacinamide supports moisture retention, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and balanced even under the summer sun.
Ultra-fine rice powder for smoothing and polishing
Rice powder has long been a staple in Asian skincare for its ability to gently exfoliate and brighten. Ultra-fine rice powder works as a physical exfoliant that polishes the skin’s surface, removing any buildup of dead skin cells while imparting a smooth, soft finish. It’s also packed with natural antioxidants that help protect skin from environmental stressors, making it an excellent addition to a summer skincare regimen.
Vitaderm’s newly launched Salicylic Powder Exfoliator is an advanced tri-active powder formulation designed to deliver smoothing and brightening, harnessing the power of the above-mentioned essential ingredients.
