Hyaluronic acid, retinol, niacinamide… what if these ultra-popular cosmetic active ingredients were to be dethroned in 2024? New ingredients seem to be all the rage lately, if the skin care innovations we’ll soon be seeing on our shelves are to be believed. Little a guide to skin care active ingredients which we will see everywhere next year.
Retinal
Retinal, also called retinaldehyde, is essential in a new anti-aging treatment for 2024. And for good reason, it has an effective effect on skin appearance and skin aging. Like retinol, retinal is a retinoid. This derivative of vitamin A thus acts on wrinkles, loss of firmness and the oval of the face.
Retinal can well overshadow retinol. There are already retinal treatments on the market, notably from Paï Skincare and Isdin.

Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 has already been well used in dietary supplements to prevent its deficiencies. Today it is also found in skin care. It helps hydrate the skin on the surface and reduce redness and dry skin.
It is the main ingredient of the latest innovation of The Ordinary, a soothing and protective serum for the skin barrier.
Seaweed
This active substance may not be new, but it is increasingly represented in skin care. Seaweed is ideal for the epidermis because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These help stimulate the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and elastin to restore skin’s hydration, firmness and elasticity.
We can find them mainly in Agrimec Cosmétique or in the range from Académie Scientifique de Beauté.
Rice
Rice is often used in Korean skin care. It must be said that it is full of benefits for the skin:
- It acts against skin aging
- Supports cell regeneration
- It slows down the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Tightens pores
- Softens skin texture
- Fight acne
In France, the Oriza Lab brand has made it their DNA and offers a wide range of rice-based treatments.
Chebula
Chebula is a active against aging which you will soon see in all your anti-wrinkle and firming treatments. This fruit helps support the regeneration of the epidermis, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and is a real source of antioxidants. It also has interesting moisturizing properties. It’s a good alternative to retinol!
Chebula is found in some beauty products, especially Paula’s Choice.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha has antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that are effective in reducing and preventing blemishes. This ingredient is often recommended in the treatment of acne. Even better, it also has an anti-aging effect as it stimulates the production of collagen, which helps fight skin aging.
Youth To The People is one of the first brands to use it in their cosmetics!
Houttuynia cordata
This is another active ingredient we borrow from Korean skin care. This plant has very interesting anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties against acne. It thus helps prevent and treat pimples and regenerate and repair the skin after a rash.
