Ingredient callouts

• 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% - 0.30%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
• Peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.15% - 0.30% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 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.
• Adenosine 0.30% - 0.50%. 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) - asiatic acid 0.30% - 0.50%, madecassic acid 0.30% - 0.50% and asiaticoside 0.25% - 0.45% The Centella Asiatica Actives, even in low concentration, can help reduce inflammation in skin, strengthen the skin barrier and reduce photodamage. They can also help to decrease scarring.
• Humectants (artemia extract 0.20% - 0.35%, saccharide isomerate 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium lactate 0.25% - 0.50%, sodium pca 1.90% - 2.40%, mannitol 0.25% - 0.50%, glycerin 0.35% - 0.65%, carnosine 0.30% - 0.50%, anhydroxylitol 0.30% - 0.55% and xylitylglucoside 0.50% - 0.75%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
