When it comes to good skin care ingredients, your first instinct may not be to look underwater.
However, microalgae – found in oceans, lakes, and ponds – are said to help with fine lines and wrinkles, brighten your complexion, and hydrate your skin. Since it’s a natural ingredient, it has fewer potential side effects – so it comes as no surprise that it’s become a trending skin care ingredient in face masks and creams alike.
