While it\u2019s rich in vitamins, fatty acids and nutrients, Crown doesn\u2019t advise slathering this liquid gold on your face.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cYou\u2019ll need to turn to brands with pedigree like La Prairie and their Skin Caviar Collection<\/a>, as they\u2019ve been harnessing the benefits of caviar\u00a0science for\u00a0the past 35 years. I call it a superstar ingredient to get that instant \u2018expensive-looking skin\u2019 we all crave,\u201d says Crown. <\/p>\n \n\tValmont features sturgeon DNA in their cult-favorite L\u2019Elixir des Glaciers Cr\u00e8me Merveilleuse face cream<\/a>. \u201cThe sturgeon is the oldest and rarest fish in the world, and produces the best caviar available,\u201d says the brand\u2019s senior aesthetician Krista Francescut. Valmont partnered with Caviar de Neuvic, renowned for its ethical sturgeon breeding. \u201cThis double sturgeon DNA is easily absorbed by the skin cells to help reduce the signs of aging.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \n\tKorean skin-care brand Medicube\u2019s PDRN Pink Peptide Serum and Collagen Capsule Cream duo<\/a> are infused with salmon PDRN, which offers similar benefits to sturgeon DNA. The ingredient helps to stimulate skin cells and tissue repair and promoting elastin and collagen production.<\/p>\n \n\tKnown as the master antioxidant, glutathione is a powerhouse. \u201cIt has the ability to combat oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin health,\u201d says Dr. Nayan Patel<\/a>, a globally renowned researcher of glutathione. \u201cAs we age, our skin\u2019s natural production of antioxidants decreases. Glutathione helps by maintaining collagen levels, promoting skin elasticity, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tProducts that contain glutathione including Patel\u2019s Auro Skincare<\/a> collection, help prevent skin aging and can also help with acne, discoloration and redness.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-hollywoodreporter-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")

\n\tLeading skin-care pros know one of the secrets to ageless skin is using high-quality products formulated with science-backed ingredients. And with the forthcoming Met Gala and Cannes Film Festival, a camera-ready visage is paramount.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhile hyaluronic acid (for hydration and boosting elasticity), retinol (known for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles) and vitamin C (for brighter, firmer skin) are ubiquitous, there are heaps of other powerful ingredients stepping into the limelight. <\/p>\n
\n\tBefore they head off to prep clients for Met and Cannes this month, we asked industry-frequented doctors and estheticians to weigh in on the under-the-radar ingredients and products deserving of prime positioning on your countertop. Below, read on for intel from Adeela Crown<\/a> (who works with Mikey Madison, Monica Barbaro and Paris Hilton), Linda Ross (clients include Uzo Aduba, America Ferrera and Aubrey Plaza), dermatologist Dr. Timm Golueke (Cynthia Erivo, Demi Moore and Emma Stone are among clientele), Gina Mar\u00ed<\/a> and more Hollywood beauty<\/a> insiders.<\/p>\n \n\tDiscovered and patented by the lead guitarist of Incubus, Mike Einziger and his master violinist wife Ann Marie Simpson-Einziger (after developing a benign condition that resulted in lightened spots of skin on her back), malassezin is a breakthrough ingredient with published data proving its effectiveness in reducing the appearance of brown spots. Derived from Malassezia furfur (a naturally occurring yeast on the skin), it\u2019s reportedly 10 times more effective\u00a0than vitamin C for evening skin tone.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201c<\/strong>Malassezin inhibits pigment production and is made from a chemical produced by a yeast that is considered part of the normal skin flora,\u201d says dermatologist Dr. Sonia Batra. \u201cIt is more potent and less irritating than some older ingredients to address hyperpigmentation.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAfter years of clinical trials, the Einzigers bottled malassezin. Mother Science<\/a> is the result of their work and the only brand featuring this ingredient.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \n\tThe prolific fern, yes, the classic household plant, has survived millions of years, and its resilience has been studied by scientists.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cFerns have outlived dinosaurs, continental shifts, climate changes and the birth of the internet,\u201d international facialist Adeela Crown<\/a> tells THR<\/em>. \u201cDue to the plant\u2019s superior environmental adaptability, its menthol extracts have been credited with antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tDermatologist Dr. Timm Golueke<\/a> created his Royal Fern skincare collection<\/a> around this marvel. \u201c<\/strong>Fern extracts have shown the potential in shielding the skin against environmental stress, decreasing inflammation and boosting collagen,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWhether it\u2019s acne inflammation or restoring the barrier after a thermal energy treatment, I always rely on the Royal Fern collection to recommend to my clients as the ideal antidote for a youthful, rested complexion,\u201d adds Crown who has delivered her Crowning Glory facial treatment to Cate Blanchett and Demi Moore.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \n\tWhile most face serums are in cream or gel form, powder formulations are causing a stir. \u201cI prefer a dry powder formula because it does not require stabilizers or preservatives, so your skin is getting the purest form when activated,\u201d says elite esthetician Gina Mar\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cExponent Beauty<\/a> and their perfect \u2018dosing\u2019 system takes out all the guesswork. With their powder serums and multi-weighted hyaluronic acid, you mix up a fresh batch every time you apply,\u201d she adds.\u00a0 Brand founder Liz Whitman was so convinced of the efficacy of her powder-based serums, she invested in costly clinical trials<\/a>. \u201cTheir 0.5 percent Firming Filter CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is my new favorite active. It helps brighten discoloration and improves firmness,\u201d adds Mar\u00ed.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \n\tPlastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond<\/a>, whose Metacine Instafacial Collection<\/a> is adored by Kate Hudson and Nikki Glaser, formulated his Plasma serum with biomimetic growth factors engineered to be identical to those found in young, healthy skin. \u201cAging is an injury \u2013 it is just happening everywhere, all at once,\u201d he tells THR<\/em>. \u201cGrowth factors help the body\u2019s capability to fight the signs of aging and applying them daily puts you in the best position to look and feel your best.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJanel Luu, a formulator lauded for pioneering the use of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in creams and serums, says growth factors are \u201ca must\u201d for people over thirty whose skin is starting to show the signs of aging. Her Le Mieux EGF-DNA Serum<\/a>, developed alongside scientists and physicians, is formulated with EGF, referred to as a \u201cYouth Molecule\u201d for its ability to regenerate the skin.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \n\tDeveloped by the makers of Botox (previously Allergan, now AbbVie), Skinmedica\u2019s TNS Advanced+ Serum<\/a> contains two chambers of the company\u2019s proprietary formulas: one with a nourishing peptide complex and a growth factor blend to support the skin barrier; and another with marine extract and green microalgae for activating the skin\u2019s renewal process and supporting collagen and elastin levels. When dispensed, the ingredients mix on the spot to provide the most effective results \u2014 think visibly smoother and lifted skin in as little as two weeks. \u2014 Danielle Directo-Meston<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tThank cows for this radiance-inducing wonder. After witnessing the eye-popping benefits of colostrum (the first milk an animal produces right after giving birth), celebrity esthetician Linda Ross created a Colostrum Mask<\/a> derived from the first milking of grass-fed cows, free of hormones and antibiotics. \u201cNutrients found in colostrum strengthen the skin\u2019s immune system and help calm acne, eczema and rosacea,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n \n\tRoss\u2019 colostrum mask is so pure and free of oils, it can also be used with LED<\/a> and microcurrent treatments. Many of her celebrity clients use the Colostrum Mask before red carpet events, press junkets and photo shoots. \u201cThe colostrum aids in making the application of make-up more flawless and is gentle enough to use daily,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n \n\tMany of her clients, including Uzo Aduba, America Ferrera, Aubrey Plaza and studio heads use the Colostrum Mask before red carpet events. \u201cIt provides an immediate glow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\tMalassezin\t<\/h2>\n
