Product summary
What can the product work for?
Works for
Does not work for
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
The addition of Hyaluronic Acid reduces the chance of skin feeling stripped of natural, essential oils, instead leaving a luminous, youthful glow in its wake.

Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH
A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing a smoother, more even skin. PHAs tend to be gentler on the skin compared to AHAs (for example, glycolic acid). It also has hydrating properties and helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It can help calm down inflammation in skin and support restoration of the barrier function. It has an anti-oxidant effect as well. It can help reduce fine line, wrinkles and improve skin elasticity
