Add The New York Post on Google In the past, when people stressed to me the importance of ageless skin, I laughed. I’m 23 — why do I need to be worrying about wrinkles?
As it turns out, fine lines can emerge as early as age 25, per Cleveland Clinic, although most people don’t seek wrinkle treatment until they’re older.
“As skin ages, we see reduced collagen and elastin support, slower barrier recovery, more dryness, more visible pigmentation irregularities and changes in texture and firmness,” Jane Yoo, MD, NYC-based board-certified dermatologist, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and medical director of the Clinical Research Center of New York, told the New York Post.
No need to panic. Beauty and wellness brands are well-aware of your concerns, and they have a simple solution: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
“Look for ingredients like retinol, peptides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides and antioxidants like vitamin C,” Erica Ogwumike, a dermatology resident physician and skincare content creator, shared with the Post. “These help support collagen, hydration and skin tone.”
Hyaluronic acid, in particular, is a skin superhero. Per Cleveland Clinic, it makes the skin “flexible” by helping it “stretch and flex and reduce skin wrinkles and lines.” Although many beauty brands formulate their creams and serums with the ingredient, there is also “direct evidence supporting the clinical efficacy of oral intake of HA in promoting skin health.”
One brand leading the way is Ritual. Its HyaCera Daily Skin Hydration Dietary Supplement is clinically proven to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, as well as improve skin smoothness in just 90 days. According to the brand, participants in a study they conducted confirmed a boost in skin radiance after three months.
The daily supplement was tested in a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study involving 63 adults ages 26 to 64. The results: a 3.6 times reduction in crow’s-feet and 2.9 times the improvement in facial skin smoothness, as compared to a placebo.
Although Ceratiq is a wheat oil extract composed of glycolipids and ceramides, the wheat has been processed and approved by the FDA as gluten-free.
So what are you actually ingesting? These small vegan capsules are formulated with Ceratiq Outer Capsule, a sustainably harvested plant oil extract that reduces the appearance of creased skin, and Hyabest Inner Capsule, a lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid that promotes overall skin hydration and glowiness. Nested-capsule technology blends both the oily and dry ingredients into one, easy-to-digest capsule.
If you’re tired of relying on creams and serums to achieve that glow, target signs of aging from the inside out. HyaCera offers a more streamlined way to boost your complexion.
If you’re curious, now is the time to try it. It’s currently 40% off on Ritual.com, along with all the brand’s other vitamins and supplements, between August 17 and September 8. You’ll also be eligible to receive a free, full-sized Magnesium+ when you bundle over three products (while supplies last).
The brand recommends taking one HyaCera capsule daily, with or without food. While it’s formulated to be safe to continue during pregnancy, it’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider first.
Regardless of how old you are, you’re never too young (or old) to care about your skin’s health, and HyaCera makes it easy to nourish it from the inside out.
*Editor’s Note: It’s important to always consult with your physician before adding a new supplement to your routine.
