Top 5 Ingredients That Should Be in Your Skincare Routine

Top 5 Ingredients That Should Be in Your Skincare Routine

May 3, 2025

The right skincare ingredients make all the difference when it comes to achieving healthy, youthful-looking skin. At Dream Spa Medical, we recommend incorporating these five powerhouse ingredients into your daily routine: 

  1. Vitamin C

Vitamin C is essential for protecting your skin against environmental damage, brightening dull complexions, and evening out skin tone. Look for stabilized forms like L-ascorbic acid for the best results. 

  1. Retinol

Retinol is a gold standard for fighting fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.
Start slow (a few nights per week) and always pair with SPF during the day. 

  1. Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin, giving it a dewy, plump appearance. It’s perfect for every skin type and an essential step for year-round hydration. 

  1. Niacinamide

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) improves skin elasticity, boosts the skin’s barrier function, reduces redness, and minimizes pores. It pairs beautifully with other active ingredients. 

  1. Peptides

Peptides help stimulate collagen and elastin production, keeping your skin firm, smooth, and resilient. They’re especially effective in anti-aging serums and creams.
