(BPT) – With all the skincare products out there, and more popping up all the time, it can be very confusing to figure out what you need. Between the different acids, vitamins and antioxidants, most of us can’t decipher what’s on the labels without a chemistry degree.

A breakthrough skin health brand has introduced a new concept in skincare that aims to take some of the guesswork out of the process. It’s called Dr.Age^®.

According to Dr.Age founder, plastic surgeon Nikolaos Metaxotos, M.D., Ph.D., “My approach to medical aesthetics is to achieve maximum efficacy with minimum disruption of the natural functions of the skin. Every part of the face and body has different properties and needs that cannot be addressed with all products and treatments. Dr.Age aims to micro-manage all skin needs with the precision and efficacy of a plastic surgeon and to approach each goal individually.”

The Dr.Age philosophy is based on the way a plastic surgeon would analyze your face. Every anatomical region of the face has different qualities and needs that must be addressed in a unique way, according to Dr. Metaxotos.

Veteran beauty writer and editor Cheryl Kramer Kaye in New York City shares her insights on skincare trends. “As a writer, it’s my job to keep an eye on the hottest ingredients and big-picture market shifts, like the current moves toward clean beauty, sustainable packaging and minimalism. But as a consumer, I just want to know what works. What impresses me about Dr.Age is that the brand skillfully incorporates trend with the tried and true. The brand’s team of medical experts is committed to high-quality ingredients chosen based on proven science and performance rather than popularity.”

So, what ingredients should you look for in facial skincare products to really make a difference in your skin?

Here are five to know:

Antioxidants

These potent ingredients, including vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, and polyphenols derived from plants, help protect the skin’s surface from oxidative damage caused by free radicals and environmental aggressors like UV rays and pollution.
