Vitamins in skincare products that are good for your skin.
- Vitamin A (Retinol)
Retinol is one of the best anti-aging ingredients. It can reduce wrinkles and firm your skin. However, it may irritate your skin, sensitive to the sun, and better to avoid if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
I don’t have any experience with retinol but here are a few products that contain retinol or retinol derivatives. Please back dulu about retinol because this is not for someone yang skincare routine dia baru nak start or basic sangat. Strictly not for beginners.
2. Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
I don’t know how many times I’ve mentioned niacinamide. For brightening? Yes. Fight acne and regulate sebum? Yes. It can also reduce the appearance of pores (pores tak boleh kecilkan tapi kita boleh buat dia kurang nampak).

3. Vitamin B5 (Panthenol)
Vitamin B5 is actually pantothenic acid. Panthenol is the alcohol form of pantothenic acid and it is also known as pro-vitamin B5. Panthenol is one of the best ingredients used in skincare. It is a humectant (tarik/attract air kedalam kulit) and very good for hydration.

4. Vitamin C
This is also one of my fav ingredient for brightening, nak kurangkan kulit kusam, reduce pigmentation, anti-aging, anti-oxidant and nak firmkan kulit.

5. Vitamin E (tocopherol)
One of the best ingredients and well-researched anti-oxidant. However, based on research, Vitamin E tak effective sangat untuk scars, although banyak tips yang I dengar, Vitamin E is good for scars.

6. Vitamin F

You can read about it here, based on Paulaschoice’s website
7. Vitamin K (phytonadione)
There’s a study suggested that Vitamin K can reduce dark circles however, tak banyak product yang ada Vitamin K and jarang sangat jumpa.
