Ginseng Is the Hero Ingredient You Need in Your Skin Care Regimen
There are plenty of powerhouse ingredients we’re trained to look for on our skin care products’ labels. Think hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, retinol, vitamin C, etc. But there’s one superstar you’re probably missing out on: ginseng.
Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, it improves circulation and boosts skin elasticity. That’s why it’s such an important ingredient in anti-aging creams, eye creams and facial serums. It’s also a key ingredient for products promising brighter complexions. And the under-the-radar superfood even tackles hyperpigmentation by blocking melanin production.
Here are the best ginseng skin care products to keep your skin soft, supple and glowing no matter the season.
