Ingredient callouts

  • A good concentration of Niacinamide (3.20% - 3.90%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
  • Ceramides (ceramide ns 0.45% - 0.65%, ceramide np 0.45% - 0.65%, ceramide eos 0.35% - 0.65%, ceramide eop 0.45% - 0.65%, ceramide ap 0.35% - 0.65%, caprooyl sphingosine 0.30% - 0.60% and caprooyl phytosphingosine 0.45% - 0.65%). 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.
  • Adenosine 0.35% - 0.65%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
  • Another helpful ingredient in this product is Linoleic Acid. It is one of the fatty acids naturally present in skin. It is part of the skin barrier. Preliminary research shows that it might be able to reduce clogged pores.
  • Humectants (trehalose 0.45% - 0.70%, sucrose 0.35% - 0.65%, sodium pca 0.55% - 0.85%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.35% - 0.65%, sodium hyaluronate 0.35% - 0.65%, mannitol 0.75% - 1.10%, magnesium pca 0.35% - 0.65%, inositol 0.40% - 0.60% and glycerin 1.10% - 1.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
