Preservatives are a necessary evil. If you don’t want fuzzy little bacteria to grow in your fave moisturizer, you need to use some sort of poison (for them, not us) to kill them off.

Wouldn’t it be great if you get rid of wrinkles while washing your face? Anti-aging cleansers promise just that. They pack anti-aging actives inside your cleansers (a non-negotiable step into your skincare routine), so you’re always guaranteed to get your dose. But… Do anti-aging cleansers actually work?

A supplement seems like the safest bet, but what if you don’t like to pop a pill? Vitamin D creams, serums and oils claim to soothe inflammation, fight wrinkles and keep your skin healthy.
