Trending Ingredients Explained

At Ohana Beauty Apsley, we believe great skin starts with understanding what you’re putting on it. Here’s a simple breakdown of four powerful ingredients you’ll often see in professional skincare—and how they can benefit your skin.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a hydration powerhouse. It attracts and holds moisture in the skin, helping it look plumper, smoother, and more radiant. It’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, and is especially helpful if your skin feels dry, tight, or dehydrated.

RetinolRetinol (a form of Vitamin A) is known for its anti-ageing and skin-renewing benefits. It works by speeding up cell turnover, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. It can also improve acne by keeping pores clear. With consistent use, skin appears smoother, clearer, and more youthful.

RetinalRetinal (retinaldehyde) is another form of Vitamin A and works similarly to retinol—but faster. It requires fewer conversion steps in the skin, meaning you may see results sooner. It helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and target breakouts, making it a great option for those wanting effective results with a balanced approach.

Chemical Exfoliants (e.g. 10% Peels)Chemical exfoliants use gentle acids to remove dead skin cells from the surface. A 10% peel can brighten dull skin, improve texture, and help reduce congestion and breakouts. It also allows your skincare products to penetrate more effectively, making your routine more powerful overall.

Understanding these ingredients helps you make better choices for your skin—and achieve healthier, glowing results with confidence.
