what type of face creams or other face care products actually have benefits?

Andrew Huberman and Teo Soleymani provide insights into skincare products that are known to be beneficial:

1. Sunscreens: Mineral-based sunscreens containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are highly recommended, especially for children. These products are considered safer than chemical-based sunscreens, particularly for young children whose skin absorbs substances more readily 1.

2. Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid: Products containing niacinamide (also known as nicotinamide) and hyaluronic acid are beneficial for skin health. Niacinamide helps with reducing inflammation and collagen production, while hyaluronic acid retains moisture, providing a youthful skin appearance 2 3.

3. Gentle Cleansers: For cleansing, simpler options like unscented Dove soap or Cetaphil are often recommended. These products are effective and do not have the plethora of irritants found in more expensive options 4 5.

4. Moisturizers: Moisturizing is an essential part of skincare, with hyaluronic acid-based moisturizers being particularly beneficial for maintaining skin hydration without irritation 6.

5. Licorice Root: This ingredient has been noted for its potential benefits in skincare products 3.

Overall, consistency in using gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, moisturizing regularly, and protecting your skin with mineral-based sunscreen can significantly enhance skin health.
