Anti-Aging Breakthrough: €5 Aroma-Zone Active ingredient Rivals Hyaluronic Acid
Paris, France – A little-known active ingredient sold by French beauty retailer Aroma-Zone is gaining traction as a potent, affordable option – or complement – to popular anti-aging treatments like hyaluronic acid. Priced at just €4.50, the “Algo’derma” cosmetic active ingredient, derived from golden algae, promises to smooth wrinkles and improve skin texture for a fraction of the cost of customary serums.
The active ingredient’s effectiveness has been validated by brand testing, reportedly leaving skin “smoother, hydrated and soft” after a few weeks of use, according to Aroma-Zone’s website. Its versatility allows for easy integration into existing skincare routines: users need onyl add around 2% to a cream or serum, or two drops to a small amount of product. Cosmopolitan suggests mixing it with vegetable oils like jojoba or hemp for a restorative night treatment.
Unlike hyaluronic acid, which focuses on retaining water to plump the skin, golden algae “acts more on the protection and repair of the skin barrier,” creating a synergistic effect when used in combination. Fans of homemade skincare appreciate its compatibility with other ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and coenzyme Q10, for a combined action on skin suppleness and density.
The product’s appeal lies in its affordability and natural composition – it is both vegan and 100% natural - offering a “smart alternative for those who want to pamper their skin without choosing between efficiency and budget.”
