Ingredient callouts

  • Exfoliating acids (mandelic acid 0.70% - 1.05%, lactic acid 2.20% - 2.70% and glycolic acid 4.30% - 5.30%). In this concentration, they will have a noticeable exfoliating effect. They can also have an anti-aging effect and stimulate collagen production in a long-run. Lactic Acid can also help to attract water to the upper layer (works as a humectant).
  • Peptides (hexanoyl dipeptide-3 norleucine acetate 0.15% - 0.30%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
  • Salicylic acid (0.75% - 1.15%). This is an oil-soluble exfoliating acid. Because of this property, it can work inside pores and help reduce the congestion. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and is used to treat acne. Because it is a quite strong exfoliator, be careful with using this product too often: it could result in over-exfoliation.
  • Humectants (zinc pca 0.20% - 0.35%, sodium pca 0.20% - 0.40%, copper pca 0.25% - 0.40%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.50%, sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.45%, glycerin 0.20% - 0.40%, hydroxyethyl urea 0.20% - 0.35%, zinc pca 0.15% - 0.30%, copper pca 0.20% - 0.35% and lactic acid 2.20% - 2.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
