Whether you're refining your routine or starting from scratch, Nurse Luisa recommends these top 5 skincare ingredients as your skin’s best allies in 2025.
1. Vitamin C
Vitamin C remains a gold-standard antioxidant in 2025. It helps brighten the skin, protect against pollution and UV-induced damage, and improve collagen synthesis. Try:
2. Retinol (and its next-gen cousin, retinaldehyde)

3. Growth Factors & Peptides
