Ozempic face – active ingredients against dull skin
Ozempic hype and the face as a side effect
Ozempic face is a side effect of Ozempic, originally developed as a medication for type 2 diabetes. It is currently experiencing a huge boom as a weight loss injection. The active ingredient semaglutide curbs appetite, leading to significant weight loss in a short period of time.
But with rapid success comes a downside: the so-called ‘Ozempic face’. Our face loses its youthful volume due to the breakdown of subcutaneous fatty tissue. The consequences:
- sunken cheeks
- a tired, exhausted expression
- increased wrinkling
- sagging skin contours
Ozempic face clearly shows how closely body weight, skin structure and radiance are linked – and why innovative skincare and active ingredient solutions are needed to counteract volume loss, lack of elasticity and skin fatigue.
The cosmetics industry already offers solutions that specifically target the Ozempic face
– Collagen boosters (e.g. peptides, retinoids): These promote the formation of the extracellular matrix.
– Hyaluronic acid plumps up the skin through intensive hydration from within.
– Lifting complexes (e.g. biopolymer-based firming agents): These produce an immediately visible lifting effect.
– Antioxidants (e.g. vitamin C, resveratrol): These protect against oxidative stress, which accelerates volume loss.
– Microbiome ingredients strengthen the skin barrier, improve elasticity and the overall structure of the skin.
By combining these ingredients, facial volume loss due to weight loss can be significantly reduced.
Innovative product ideas
The following product concepts can be developed to effectively combat facial volume loss due to weight loss:
– Volume-building serum with hyaluronic acid in various molecular sizes, peptides and antioxidants.
– Lifting cream: combination of biopolymer firming agents and barrier strengtheners for an immediately visible effect.
– Overnight repair mask: rich formula with retinoids, ceramides and collagen boosters.
– Eye contour gel: specially formulated to combat sunken eyes with niacinamide and microalgae extracts.
– Nutricosmetics: collagen peptides and antioxidants for internal regeneration.
Such concepts offer a holistic solution to address facial volume loss due to weight loss on various levels.
