Hydroxy Acids
Promote exfoliation of dull, dead skin cells on the outer layers of the skin by breaking down and loosening the cellular junctions that hold them together. An effective and relatively quick method to improve the appearance of dull uneven skin tone, smooth out rough texture and brighten your complexion. This mechanism also activates the skin’s natural regeneration process and reduces fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and hyper-pigmentation.
Multi Fruit Acid
Multi Fruit Acid is derived from bilberry, sugar cane, sugar maple, orange and lemon fruit extracts. It is composed mainly of Lactic (AHA) and Glycolic acid (AHA).
Glycolic Acid- Due to its small molecular size, Glycolic Acid penetrates deeply and quickly to work on the lower layers of the skin. It is the most effective hydroxy acid at stimulating collagen production and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Lactic Acid- Due to its larger molecular size, Lactic acid does not penetrate as deep. It brightens and hydrates the outer layers of the skin and assists the skin’s barrier function.
Salicylic Acid (BHA)
An oil soluble hydroxy acid that unclogs pores by penetrating and dissolving lipids on the epidermis and within hair follicles. It has anti microbial, anti fungal and soothing properties. A suitable option of acne, blackheads, whiteheads, breakouts, blemishes and regulating oil production. Salicylic acid is also known to enhance the penetration of other topical agents.
Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
A highly stable vitamin C derivative that does not require conversion into ascorbic acid to function. Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a powerful anti oxidant most notable for its ability to fight photo ageing, reduce dark spots, stimulate collagen and evening out skin tone.
Liquorice Root Extract
Evens out skin tone, reduces dark spots and brightens skin.
Cosmoperine [Tetrahydropiperine]
A patented natural permeation enhancer to increase the absorption and efficacy of actives in topical applications.
