Cosmetic ingredients from A-Z to take care of your face without damaging your skin
🚨 Attention all units. This is an emergency call, baby. Man with skincare overdose. We need backup.🚨
📣 Siwon speaking: We are forced to release an urgent statement.
We're experiencing an avalanche of creams:
- With asset names that are more complicated to pronounce than IKEA furniture
- With ingredient lists that make you cross-eyed like those magic eye books from when you were a kid (memory unlocked)
- With 'it's natural', 'clinical results', more is more…
And in the end, you're covered in potions and not really knowing what for.
Therefore, and to practice conscious cosmetic hedonism - few things, but with great pleasure and intention - we have prepared this guide with the richest and healthiest cosmetic vitamins for your face. We will be touching on it and expanding it from time to time.
VITAMINS FOR YOUR SKIN
Vitamin A 🥕 'A'... for AA: Anti-Aging
What is it?
Some people eat carrots by the pair. We're more into slathering ourselves in retinol, vitamin A in cosmetic form. It's the best-known anti-aging ingredient: it reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and more. It stimulates your skin's renewal (like Wolverine's), getting your skin's production going full steam ahead to produce the things that are lost or slowed down with age: collagen, proteins, and so on.
How does that make your face?
Well, with a more youthful appearance... more handsome than James Dean in his younger days.
Where can I find it?

Vitamin B(3) 💃 'B3'... for good, beautiful and naughty
What is it?
Also known as niacinamide, it's the quintessential "anti-establishment" vitamin: anti-blemish, anti-inflammatory, anti-acne, anti-redness, and therefore, anti-hater. It's such a democratic ingredient that it works for almost all skin types. (Yes, it turns out niacinamide is more forgiving than Roy Galán.)
How does that make your face?
Well, to clap your hands with joy when you look in the mirror.

Vitamin B(5) 🙏 'B5' of… with hydration and lubrication I'll stick it in you…
What is it?
If in this lottery that is life, you've been dealt dry skin, then even more For the tight skin Lomana wears every winter, panthenol or vitamin B5 is your ally in this tough battle.
How does that make your face?
Stay hydrated, stay hydrated. There's also some research that attributes to it an anti-inflammatory and regenerative effect on your skin's natural barrier, like something out of Easter Sunday.
Vitamin C 🍊 'C' for Color of the sand of the Rocío Way
What is it?
The most sought-after ingredient since Britney in 2007. It has many functions, but above all it stands out for bringing luminosity to your face.
How does that make your face?
Lola Flores said that "the sparkle in your eyes can't be surgically enhanced"... but the luminosity you get after using vitamin C in the mornings is something you won't find even with the Kardashians' favorite surgeon.
Where can I find it?
It's also in our all-in-one tuner, Handsomefyer.
Vitamin D ☀️ 'D' for Give me cream
What is it?
The vitamin that comes from space. The one that warms you up and makes you blush. The one that gives you the feeling of sunshine on your face.
How does that make your face?
Well, actually, getting a tan is secondary. Vitamin D is more beneficial for the overall health of your skin, hair, muscles… even your teeth and bones. When you're deficient in vitamin D, your body knows it.
Where can I find it?
Sunbathing is fine, but don't overdo it. 10-15 minutes, 3 times a week (depending on your skin type) is more than enough. Don't be a fool, or you'll age faster and worse than Christopher Nolan movies.
Vitamin E 🌊 'E' for mirror mirror…
What is it?
Vitamin E, or tocopherol—we know, it sounds like a prison name, but its benefits are far more pleasant than frightening—is a powerful antioxidant. And, as if that weren't enough, it can extend the shelf life of other cosmetic ingredients: the little blue pill of skincare.
How does that make your face?
Well, protected: from the weather, from pollution, and from free radicals (which aren't just angry anti-establishment types).
Where can I find it?
For example, in Dragon Shot, Besides leaving your face moisturized, you'll notice that shine disappears throughout the day.
