The newest craze in anti-aging cream is a product from South Korea with a cult following by [Mizon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyalugen) called Returning Starfish Cream. One of the things that makes this product so unique is that it gets many of its moisturizing properties from a formula that's made up of 70% starfish extract. This ingredient is said to be extremely good at the [regeneration and rejuvenation of skin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regenerative-skincare-serum), leaving it firm, dewy and radiant. Since starfish have the ability to regenerate their own limbs, it's no wonder that the addition of this ingredient is a huge selling point for healthy skin. Additionally, women are also crazy about the cream's ability to reduce wrinkles, fight blemishes and provide a layer of protection against the elements.

Aside from that one exotic ingredient, the [nourishing face cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ympossible-cream) is composed of other go-to beauty remedies like olive oil, evening primrose and sweet almond oil.
