Ingredient callouts

  • this product contains an effective form of Retinoids (vitamin A): retinol 0.00% (declared). Retinoids are potent multitasking actives. They work to improve and prevent early signs of aging, reduce hyperpigmentation (age spots and post-acne marks), and prevent inflamed blemishes and clogged pores. The downside of Retinoids is that they can be irritating. If you are not already using a Retinoid in your routine, it is best to start slowly and apply the Retinoid product only a few times per week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually increase the frequency to daily.
  • Ceramides (ceramide eop 0.15% - 0.25%, ceramide ng 0.30% - 0.55%, ceramide ns 0.30% - 0.50%, ceramide ap 0.25% - 0.45%, ceramide as 0.25% - 0.45% and ceramide np 0.30% - 0.55%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
  • Peptides (hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.15%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.15% - 0.30%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.20% - 0.35%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.20% - 0.40%, tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.45%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.20% - 0.40%, nonapeptide-1 0.25% - 0.45% and acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 0.25% - 0.50%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
  • Adenosine 0.25% - 0.45%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
  • Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - madecassoside 0.25% - 0.45% The Centella Asiatica Actives help strengthen and restore the skin barrier, decrease inflammation in skin and neutralize free radicals. They also can help to reduce scarring. The good news is that these actives work even in low concentrations.
  • Humectants (hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.15%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.45% and glycerin 3.00% - 3.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
