Moisturizers, which worked in their 20s and 30s, often lose their magic as their skin matures. This is because lipid production naturally decreases over time, leading to dryness, dullness and loss of hardness. Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 ($155) is formulated to address it accurately and is a go-to for new readers in their 40s.
In a recent survey of over 400 Newbeauty Readers, we asked them to name their sacred grail skincare products. For many in their 40s, Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 was the clear winner. One 47-year-old respondent said, “The feel and results are better than any other product I have tried.” Another 41 said, “I love making my skin look softer and younger. I love ceramides. The results are proven and I can see them. I recommend it to all my friends.”
