Ingredient callouts

  • this product contains an effective form of Retinoids (vitamin A): retinyl retinoate 0.01% - 0.05%. Retinoids are potent multitasking actives. They work to improve and prevent early signs of aging, reduce hyperpigmentation (age spots and post-acne marks), and prevent inflamed blemishes and clogged pores. The downside of Retinoids is that they can be irritating. If you are not already using a Retinoid in your routine, it is best to start slowly and apply the Retinoid product only a few times per week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually increase the frequency to daily.
  • Ceramides (ceramide np 0.20% - 0.35%, ceramide np 0.05% - 0.15%, ceramide np 0.05% - 0.15% and ceramide ap 0.01% - 0.05%). 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.
  • Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.20%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.05% - 0.15%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.05% - 0.15% and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.01% - 0.05%). 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 0.15% - 0.25%. 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 (sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.30%, glycerin 0.10% - 0.20%, alanine 0.01% - 0.05%, sodium hyaluronate 0.05% - 0.05%, glycine 0.01% - 0.05%, glycerin 0.05% - 0.10%, hydrolyzed collagen 0.10% - 0.15%, sodium hyaluronate 0.05% - 0.05%, biosaccharide gum-1 0.20% - 0.35% and glycerin 2.90% - 3.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
