Putting together your skincare routine is a journey of discovery, not defined by age but by your skin's unique needs. These needs are as diverse as we are, ranging from managing acne and oiliness to combating dryness and aging. While a teenager might prioritize acne control, and someone in their 60s may be more concerned with firmness, the reality is that skin concerns often transcend age boundaries.
At INNBEAUTY Project, we’ve built our entire product line with this forward-thinking approach. We recognize that the future of skincare is shifting from age-specific solutions to more versatile, multigenerational formulations. Here, we explore what it means to use skincare solutions for any age and skin concern and our top product recommendations.
What issues can multigenerational skincare help with?
There are a number of skincare products that are great for all ages, and they’ll soon be mainstays in your routine. Here’s which ones you should pick up, based on your concern.
Acne
Acne is caused by clogged follicles in the skin, which then leads to bacterial overgrowth and inflammation. Acne often occurs in adolescence, but it can persist into adulthood. To combat acne, a number of products and ingredients can be added to your skincare routine. Our FDA approved Acne Serum Medicated Treatment for Acne & Blackheads, includes salicylic acid, tranexamic acid, and niacinamide to promote a healthy skin barrier, improve skin texture, regulate oily skin, and help tackle the unwanted pigmentation that can happen after pimples and blackheads. The formulation also includes tranexamic acid to help target uneven skin tone and improve the appearance of acne scars.
For overnight treatments, try the Pimple Paste. The fast acting drying paste uses willow bark, sulfur, and azelaic acid along with unique ingredients like thyme & oregano to fade the look of blemishes, and it can also prevent new spots from popping up.
Hyperpigmentation
A rise in the skin’s melanin production levels leads to hyperpigmentation, and it can be triggered by acne, sun exposure, harsh topical products, skin injuries, hormones, or other skin conditions that can occur at any age and stage of life.
Lifestyle changes like staying out of the sun, using sunscreen, and treating inflammation can reduce hyperpigmentation, and ingredients like vitamin C and tranexamic acid are powerhouses when it comes to lessening the look of dark spots. The Green Machine Serum uses a highly stable vitamin C in the form of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (THD for short) to improve skin brightness, and the cocktailed formula also includes tranexamic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide, 15 superfoods (spinach, spirulina, avocado and green tea to name a few), and plant stem cells sustainably sourced from the sea fennel plant to help boost luminosity.
Anti-Aging + Age Prevention
The aging process impacts all parts of our bodies, including the skin, our largest organ. Aging on the skin can look like wrinkles and/or sagging skin and you might also notice a loss of elasticity and firmness, which can be partly attributed to lower levels of collagen in the body.
By introducing high performance ingredients into your routine, you can help keep your skin feeling and looking great for years to come.
Bio-Retinol is one of those ingredients. The plant-based retinol alternative has been clinically shown to have similar benefits to traditional retinol and retinoids (Vitamin A derivatives), but you won’t experience the side effects or irritation that can happen with retinol. Bio-Retinol is a key ingredient in the Extreme Cream Firming & Lifting Moisturizer, and the cream is a powerhouse moisturizer that is clinically proven to visibly firm, lift, hydrate, and plump your skin with the addition of peptides.
If you would like to use a serum, try the Elastic Skin Firming & Plumping Serum. Elastic Skin contains both copper and bio-hacking peptides which leads to visibly firmer, lifted skin, and it also works to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles (clinically proven to reduce wrinkles by up to 44% in just 6 weeks!), so it can take you through decades of skincare. The peptides in this formula are also paired with wild yam extract, vegan collagen amino acids, and encapsulated vegan growth factors to further plump and lift the skin.
And if you have sensitive skin, our Retinol Remix 1% Retinol Treatment was formulated with you in mind. It includes three types of vegan retinoids (retinal, retinol, and a retinol ester to produce a time-released effect and not overwhelm skin), a powerful retinol that visibly reduces fine lines and deep wrinkles. The Centella Asiatica, Tasmanian Pepperberry, and Roman Chamomile in the formula is what will prevent the irritation, bumps, and flaking associated with retinol use, and the peptide and tranexamic acid will further firm and fade any lingering hyperpigmentation.
Dry and Dehydrated Skin
Dry and dehydrated skin can be the result of internal or external factors, so in addition to making sure you're staying hydrated throughout the day with an adequate amount of fluids, you can also externally supercharge your skincare to moisturize your dry skin.
One of the easiest ways to do that is to pair a hydrating moisturizer with a deeply penetrating serum. As well as working to lift and firm skin, Extreme Cream contains ceramides to help hydrate and keep your skin barrier strong. Ceramides are great for pretty much all skin types, as they aren’t known to cause irritation, and a fortified and healthy skin barrier is an important facet of skin health no matter your age. Extreme Cream also features a powerhouse hydration combination that approaches hydration from a surface & deeper level. Snow mushroom helps plump up skin with hydration while glyceryl glucoside boosts aquaporin function (essentially helping drive water & glycerin to deeper levels of the skin). This combination of powerful ingredients leaves skin hydrated, plump, & juicy.
Elastic Skin is similar to snail serum, but it’s vegan! The wild yam extract, vegan collagen amino acids and ceramides in the serum work to visibly plump, firm and boost the skin’s moisture levels, while keeping that hydration locked in the skin for plump, hydrated looking skin that lasts all day. In a third party, independent consumer clinical study, Elastic Skin boosted skin’s hydration immediately 91% and a whopping 218% after 12 weeks!
The wrap-up
Multigenerational skincare is slowly but surely becoming a priority on the market. For consumers, knowing that a product is formulated to take care of their skin needs throughout their lives is a game changer.
Some products truly embody the idea of "skincare for any age," and multigenerational skincare is a prime example. Ingredients like peptides, bio-retinol, and ceramides are versatile enough to be part of both preventative and anti-aging routines, offering benefits throughout the years. This approach is gaining traction with both brands and consumers, and we can anticipate even more innovation in this exciting area of skincare.
