Ingredient callouts

  • A good concentration of Niacinamide (2.90% - 3.60%). 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.
  • This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.15% - 0.25%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
  • This product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl acetate 0.10% - 0.25%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
  • Adenosine 0.20% - 0.35%. 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).
  • Humectants (inositol 0.15% - 0.25%, glucosamine hcl 0.15% - 0.25%, glutamic acid 0.15% - 0.30%, aspartic acid 0.15% - 0.25%, glycine 0.15% - 0.25%, alanine 0.10% - 0.25%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.25%, mannitol 0.45% - 0.70% and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.60% - 0.85%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
